Friday

Mom was all ready to go to New Vista today, but they didn't come and get her.
Apparently there was a misunderstanding.  They will come next Friday.  I'm thinking maybe we could try Thursday.  I'll have to ask Minako if she could make lunch for mom on Fridays instead.  Then, I have to contact St. Elizabeth and ask if I could have lunch back up for Thursdays.  Then, I could ask New Vista if mom could go on Thursdays instead.  Manjit said that there was a Japanese lady who came on Thursdays.  This might work.

Mom had spread a lot of clothes on her bed.  She kept telling me that she didn't have enough clothes.  I put some of the jackets in the closet.  She then said she needed to cover her neck.  I suggested some scarves.  I really don't understand what she wants.  She has tons of clothing.  I just said that I would buy her some clothes.  I found a fleecy that I gave her that zipped up high and she seemed happy with that. 

Mom had a good appetite.  I gave her vitamins too.  We had a Japanese ice-cream sandwich.

I gave mom a bath.  She complained about the people who came to bathe her twice a week.  She mentioned a man.  I asked her about the man and then she said of course there is no man.  She loves it when I wash her back.  I asked her if the people who came to bathe her washed her back, but she said they didn't.

Mom insisted on accompanying me when I went to the bus stop.  She wanted to jaywalk.  I insisted we use the traffic light.  I mentioned that her neighbour was hit by a car and killed.  Mom insisted that she knew what she was doing.  She didn't even bring a jacket with her.  She insisted she was fine.  She was upset that the bus didn't come and of course it was because I was deficient in some way. I tried to persuade her to go back home.  Finally because she was cold, she gave in and I escorted her back to the light-controlled intersection and watched as she crossed the street.
