Mom is still complaining about not being told about going to Ethel's place for dinner.
Thankfully that did not prevent her from eating a good breakfast.
Mom helped dry breakfast dishes and did some vacuuming.
We did some exercises. She said she felt a bit stiff and not herself with the floor exercises.
We watched "The Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Milan.
She's napping now.

Christmas dinner
Friday, December 25, 2015
It was a late night for both mom and me.
Mom thought she was going home to her place.
She wasn't happy about going to Ethel's for Christmas dinner.
She complained the whole time and didn't eat very much.
She hardly ate any of the turkey or ham so I was going to eat her leftovers, but she got mad at me.
She told me not to eat too much.
She wouldn't even eat the pumpkin pie.
I ended up eating her pie too.
I ate too much.
Thank heavens for bubble wrap to get us through the evening.

Mystery of the box of cookies
Thursday, December 24th, 2015
I had left a box of cookies for mom's volunteer visitor, but she never came. Today I noticed the box was opened. Mom said she didn't know anything about it. Then, mom said the box was empty. I checked and was shocked! I checked the snack cupboard and some of the cookies were there so I put them in a container with a lid. I wonder if she had given the other layer of cookies to someone. I hope so or she must have eaten quite a few cookies.
Mom's developed quite the sweet tooth.
I noticed that she had already gotten into the package of shortbread cookies she had received from her daycare today. She had only eaten two, but I suspect she had already plenty of sweets today.
Mom said she wasn't taking a bath. Her feet smelt clean so I assume she had a bath last night.
Another evening of bubble wrap and Home Alone. They play that movie a lot during the holidays.

I'm a bad mom. I'm keeping mom occupied with bubble wrap and television. She really enjoys "Home Alone." Interestingly, she didn't complain about watching "Cougar Town."
Yesterday she was quite contrary. but today she seems quite content. Although she ate all her meals, she said nothing tasted good except for the piece of chocolate I gave her and the peanut butter and honey toast. We went to visit Uncle at the hospital after his hip replacement surgery. Mom complained all the way there, but she was in good form. We had to take a bus and transfer to a skytrain and then there was a bit of a hike to the hospital, but she did it all. She had to climb a lot of stairs.
This morning we had banana pancakes and bacon. She ate two pancakes and one slice of bacon with gusto. She had two cups of tea sweetened with honey. I always worry that she is getting dehydrated.
Her skin is still not good. I've been applying Vaseline and coconut oil and it's getting better, but it still hasn't completely healed.

Close call.

There was an event at the Nikkei Centre today. I went to forage for food, but they didn't have much. I got some futomaki, inarisushi and some chicken teriyaki at the store. I cut up the chicken into smaller pieces for mom. She told me that the chicken smelt funny. Sure enough, I caught a whiff of mold. Good thing mom's sense of smell is still good.
