Fri 28th June 2019 11-PM...awoke mum gone to GP appointment...came back in around 7:15 PM with shopping!

When I awoke somewhere around 12:00 midday, I discovered my mum had gone to her GP appointment.

I rode my bike over there...to inquire have they seen her at the Tulse Hill, Hardel Rise surgery...; their reply was she had already came/and, left around 1 hour ago.

A lady who I saw standing up outside of the surgery, I asked the same questions to...pointed me in the direction she had left; however, look as I might...my mum was to be found absolutely nowhere?

I started thinking to myself...there are a number of possibilities where she might have gone...

1> Stockwell, to go check out her flat
2> Shopping, possibly, East Street...in between Elephant and Castle/Camberwell.
3> She could also have returned back home...and, I might have missed her when she was on the bus.

Anyway, I decided to return back home...; and, sure enough, no mother to be seen anywhere?

At 3:30 PM I rode my bike over to the Community Shop where goods can be brought really 'cheap'...and, there did some shopping. I brought such things as, Chocolate biscuits/Mousse/tinned Grapefruit/half-sized baked bean tins/crips/tinned fizzy drinks/-etc.; then, again, came back home...; again, no mum arrived back home, yet.

(Around 5 PM I phoned my cousin S...to explain the situation I've already quoted up above; and, basically, left it there...stating I will phone them with the latest updates.)

Time is, now, coming up 7 PM...and, still my mother hasn't showed; I feel like I'm going out of my mind with 'endless worry'...thinking to myself...'what if' this/'what if' that.../-etc.

Maybe, I should go to her flat in Stockwell...; but, what if...she isn't there...?!

Life with older people...sometimes, can be like a 'living nightmare'...she doesn't seem to understand that she's older...so, she needs to 'slow down'....she cannot move around like say when it was 10 years ago...in fact, she hasn't left the house in over 6 months long...!

Well, finally, my mum came back in, with a push basket full of shopping at around, 7:15 PM; but, she did not look good...instead, she looked 'half-dead'...and, I'm being perfectly serious about that; not in any way at all kidding. No wonder, the weather out there has been unusually 'hot'; and, she walks really 'slow'...so, having to climb up the hill to come back home...must have been sheer agony. Furthermore, she said her doctors appointment ended in disappointment...as she didn't get the drugs she wanted. I hope that doesn't mean she's going out there for another day, tomorrow/or,...?
