No to vitamins

Sunday, January 24, 2016

Mom said she wasn't going to take her vitamins this morning.  She asked me why she had to take vitamins.  I told her that they were nutritious.  In the end I took them myself.

At breakfast she complained that she couldn't eat so much.  She ate toast, a piece of cheese, a fried egg and a few pieces of orange.  She said she wouldn't eat the bacon.  I cut the bacon up, but she only ate one piece.

I don't know what got into her.  She must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.

She seems very suspicious.

Last night she was very cooperative.  She ate a lot for dinner and an orange for a bedtime snack.
We did exercises and watched ice skating.

After breakfast she took her vitamins and helped dry the dishes.  She's watching ice skating on television right now.

No answer

Thursday, January 21, 2016
Mom and I went to visit the doctor today and she is doing well.
The rash has already disappeared.  The doctor thinks it is caused by the cold weather and anxiety.

I got a call around 8:30 p.m. from the support worker and she said mom wasn't answering the phone.
I tried calling too, but nothing.  I called mom's neighbour and got nothing.
I decided that I had better go and check up on her.
I was worried that maybe something had happened to her.
She was in bed when I got there at 9:30 p.m.  There was water in the tub, so I drained it.  Mom didn't remember taking a bath.
I administered her medication.
Mom was anxious about tomorrow morning.
I hope everything goes okay for her tomorrow.

Clean kitchen floors

Wednesday, January 13, 2015

Mom's kitchen floor looks super clean!
I asked her how she did it, but she couldn't remember.
She also cleaned the dish drain.
I hope she just used elbow grease.
I don't think she knows how to use cleansers.
She doesn't even use dish soap when she washes the dishes.
She was very proud of herself.
She must have done it this morning before her afternoon daycare.

Jaywalking, sanpo, colouring and bubble wrap.

Sunday, January 10th.

Slept in this morning until just before 9:00 a.m.
Mom said she thought that I had disappeared.
I was in the bedroom, but the door was closed.

Mom had tea with milk and honey.
We had cream of wheat with butter, milk, and maple syrup.
Peanut butter toast and bacon.

Mom always encourages me to jaywalk.
I try to explain that her neighbour got hit by a car and died.
Mom says everyone does it.
She gets angry with me when I don't jaywalk.

Saturday morning when I went to pick mom up, she wasn't there.  She had taken the keys, but all her jackets were there.  She showed up a few minutes later.  She usually just goes around the block.
She was wearing a hat and a light fleecy.

She always gets mad if the bus doesn't show up in a minute or so.
She tries to blame me.  It doesn't help when the bus doesn't come on time.

Mom is still loving her bubble wrap.  I bought some from the dollar store, but maybe I can buy it in bulk.  Someone even mentioned never-ending bubble wrap.

I bought mom a colouring book and crayons at the dollar store.  She quite enjoyed it.  Of course, I had to cue her a lot.  She couldn't decide on a colour and she wasn't sure what parts to colour, but she was pleased with the results.  I think this is worth investing in better quality crayons and colouring book.

New Year's Day 2016

Friday, January 1, 2016
Mom had a nap after breakfast.
Mom had diarrhea this morning.  I wonder if it is the side effect of her medication.  Just like frequent urination at night is a side effect.
Anyways she was fine and we were able to take the bus to my place before lunch.
Mom had a nap after lunch.
I told her that we were going to a New Year's day party, but she insisted that she was too sick to go.
I told her that her friends would be there, but she still didn't want to go.
When E. and J. came to pick us up she asked if she was going home, but I told her we were going to the party.  She asked if it was far and I said no.  Luckily she came.
Unfortunately we had a difficult time finding a place to sit.  All her "friends" were saving seats for their families.  It was rather awkward.  I feel sad that mom has no friends.
Finally, a space was made for us.  Mom didn't eat very much.  She got mad at me when I ate what she thought was too much dessert. Mom enjoyed the entertainment.
The bubble wrap kept her busy until around 8:00 p.m.  Also, I brought a cushion for her to sit on.
Luckily the party ended shortly after that.
