Tommy “up” on the Lamppost

What Tommy meant by “up”

Colleen had taken Tommy on a walk before I did and she had taken multiple pictures of him “up” and “down ” on the lamp post.  So, that is why when he saw the lamppost, he thought that he should have his picture taken.

Champagne Break

I had just gone into Erin’s room to read the newspaper tonight when the doorbell rang. It was Colleen with a bottle of Brut Rose sparkling wine and 2 wine glasses. Clark heard the commotion and went and got a wine glass from the kitchen and joined the crowd.

Steve and the boys hung out between here and Colleen’s house this afternoon. Tommy went with me for a short walk. At one point he stood on the base of a lamp post and said, “Take my picture.” Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me.

Crabby

Erin told the Social Worker today that she (Erin) had been crabby all week.  She has had headaches in her forehead at night, so maybe these make her irritable.

Clark went to stay with Jim for a while late this afternoon.  A therapist had taken him to the nearby Target with a short shopping list including cat litter. Jim told Clark that it was quite difficult for him to negotiate all of the purchases.

Lots of sleep

Erin slept late, had lunch, and then all of us had naps. She was sleeping when we left for bridge, but Barbara, the hospice caregiver said they watched TV in Erin’s room for a while, then did some laundry. (Barbara sorted the load that was in the dryer.)  Erin was asleep when we got home from bridge, but heard us chatting in the kitchen and came out to say hello.

Hair!

Shan and I made the decision. We went to fast get my hair done. The gal is also the manage. She spent 45 min. Last minute always works…

Nurses Visit

Ardys, the RN visited today for the first time in a week and also her supervisor Donna came later to evaluate Ardys. … a yearly evaluation.  I commented on how well they screen their staff.  She said that they screen them very carefully.

Erin is pretty well over her cold, but maybe sleeping a little more than usual.

I was looking at this today. We ate still than most.

Hello Kitty

Erin’s latest online purchase is a little 40 watt refrigerator, Hello Kitty. It will hold about 4 cans of coke. It says not to try to keep meats or cheese cold for longer than an hour, which doesn’t sound very useful. It can also be plugged into the cigarette lighter in the car.
