OVERWHELMED

 79 of #100daychallenge

Murray, Utah

We made it through the night. Janet and David had a hard time sleeping, but I just cruised right along. David and I woke up before 7, promptly going on a reconnaissance mission for decent coffee (found) and a maple bar for Janet. Turns out Salt Lake is a low doughnut zone. We had to drive far away to even find some, and then, lackluster. And when we got back to the room, Janet, who frequently demands a maple bar, said she wanted a plain one.

David took Janet out for a little walk before we get going for the day. Our first stop, after breakfast, will be the apartment management office to get keys to Anita's apartment. Stay tuned for an emotional day.

Worse than emotional. Anita's apartment was quite literally a shit show. There were dirty diapers under her bed (in the living room), in the chair she lived and slept in, sick room detritus everywhere. Stacks of adult diapers and wipes in packages. Boxes of bottled water. Rotting food. Chaos. 

The reality of Anita's life is overwhelming, not to mention the amount of junk and stuff. We are all fried. So this will be short. Not to mention the motel we are staying in is so cheap they don't have a fan in the bathroom, not even a soap dish or a glass to rinse after brushing. I am a bit tired of being so up close and personal with my mother who repeatedly asks when we are going home, among other things. 

I am going to bed.
