Every now and then, mom tells me she needs face cream.
She told me she had no soap.
So I gave her a bar of soap for the bath.
She asked me what this box was doing in her bag and I told her it was soap for her bath.
We went to London Drugs to buy face cream and face soap.
She decided she didn't need face cream
When we got to her apartment, I saw she had a bar of soap sitting in the soap dish. I don't think she touched it. She said she didn't use it when she took a bath. I don't think she uses anything.
She also already had face cream on the dresser in her bedroom.

Mom says she needs something to put on her face.
Saturday, August 1st.
Took mom to get her hair done with George.
I noticed her toe nails were getting long. Then I saw a sign that said pedicures for $15 downstairs of our building. I took my mom to get a pedicure. It looked great!
Monday, August 31, 2015
Mom took some moisturizing cream from the cupboard. I told her that was to put on her feet and not her face.
Mom started talking about face cream again.
I noticed that Minako had put face cream on my mom today.

New Vista - Adult daycare
Tuesday, February 24, 2015
Mom had a great time at New Vista.
She said she threw a ball with lots of power.
She said she was strong.
She said they were put into groups and they sang. She said she sang well.
She was very happy.

Mom was not in a good mood.
She said she didn't enjoy New Vista today.
Mom didn't go to New Vista on Tuesday, April 14th because she couldn't find her key.
I wonder if it was because the Health Nurse phoned her and she thought it was New Vista.
She was dressed and ready to go. She went downstairs and then she was embarrassed because it was the wrong day. I think she was flustered and forgot to put the key back in the drawer.
She'd been complaining about a pain in her shoulder, but it was fine on the weekend. I had already made a doctor's appointment for Tuesday, April 21, but I ended up cancelling it because mom said her shoulder was fine. She was very excited about going to New Vista and was ready to go at 8:30 a.m. I told her to take a nap. I told her that she would get a call to wake her up in time to go to New Vista. I forgot to call her, but she made it there fine.
Tuesday, May 5, 2015
I called mom this morning at 8:30 a.m. as usual.
I asked her if she was excited about going to New Vista.
Mom was flabbergasted. She had completely forgotten about going to New Vista. She was worried that she wouldn't be ready in time. I asked her how her hair looked. She said it looked fine. I told her that she had another hour before they came to pick her up. She was fine.
When I saw her for dinner she thanked me for reminding her about New Vista.
She had a really nice time. I was surprised that she was so energetic. Recently she had seemed rather dopey and I worried she was taking a turn for the worse.
Tuesday, May 12, 2015
I called mom at 8:30 and she was disoriented. She said she wasn't ready to go to New Vista today. I told her she had another hour. I called her again at 9:30 just to check. She said no one from New Vista had called. Anyways she said she was going to wait downstairs.
When I arrived in the evening she was in a good mood. I read the breakfast lady's report and she said that mom had already eaten breakfast and was dressed and ready to go. I found a boiled egg. I guess mom made a boiled egg, but then didn't eat it. I chopped it up for our salad.
Mom had a nice time at New Vista.

Mom was looking forward to going to New Vista.
Tuesday, June 30, 2015
Mom was anxious and distressed this a.m.
She said she was ill.
I told her to rest and that I would call her again.
She said that she had already told someone that she wasn't going to New Vista today.
Luckily I had hired a support worker from St. Elizabeth to help my mom today.
Mom couldn't remember where the key was so I got a call from Holly.
The key was found, but then New Vista didn't pick her up so I got another call.
I called New Vista and they told me that my mom said she wasn't going.
Ryan said he would come and pick her up and Mula stayed with mom until he came.
No more phone calls so will assume everything went okay.

Mom's watch
Saturday, April 11, 2015
Mom has been complaining about her watch for a week.
We finally went shopping for a watch, but we couldn't find one to her liking.
I hope I can just get a battery.
Tuesday, April 14th, 2015
Had the battery replaced on mom's old watch. She thinks the watch is too big for her. But she hasn't bugged me since. I don't think she's worn the watch either.

Mom is wearing her watch. Recently she gets her sleeves wet and the watch.

I got a call from mom's daycare that she didn't want to go because she was feeling sick.
I thought it was odd because I had called her earlier and she had been looking forward to going to New Vista. Mom said she couldn't find her shoes. Someone was at the door so she went to answer it. I had to yell many times for her to pick up the phone. Yoko picked up the phone. Someone at reception had told Yoko that my mom had lost her keys. Yoko looked in the usual places, but couldn't find anything. As long as mom can't find her keys, she won't go out.
I had to call St. Elizabeth to send someone over for lunch because mom can't make lunch. If she had gone to daycare, they would have given her a lunch.
When I went to make mom dinner, I found the key in her jacket pocket.
She was fine.
Tuesday, April 21, 2015
Got Chris to make sure the key was in the drawer when he went over Monday night.
Mom was really excited about going to New Vista.
Friday, May 15, 2015
Mom gets confused about her keys. She doesn't seem to know which is for the entrance door, her door and the mailbox. If I tell her it is the biggest one, she doesn't know. If I tell her it is the smallest, she doesn't understand. She doesn't even remember where in her purse she keeps her keys.
Tuesday, June 16, 2015
I picked up an extra set of keys for AH. I forgot to leave them at mom's. When I got home I couldn't find them.
Wednesday, June 17, 2015
I contacted GH, but she didn't have them. I asked AH if he saw them at mom's. No luck.
Thursday, June 18th, 2015
I found the keys! They were in my bag all along.
Thank heavens!
