Thursday and Friday, June 7th and 8th

Didn’t do much Thursday – just helped with some chores around the house. My mom and Eryi went to IKEA to look at a white shelf they wanted to buy for 姥姥.

Friday, I rested at home as well. I did some chores after breakfast, and observed my Grandma’s daily routine. Every day, the baomu (caretaker, xiaolan) washes dishes, sweeps and mops the floor, and takes 姥姥 out to get some sun for about an hour starting at 9:30am. Mom and Eryi were reorganizing the place for the shelf, which was shipped here around early afternoon. From three o’clock until dinner time (around 6:30 – 7pm) the three of us put together the white shelf from IKEA. It’s a really great shelf and despite 姥姥’s constant misgivings about purchasing it, she loved it once it was in place.
