Giggles

Tuesday, October 5, 2016
Jackie is away on vacation so I can have her spot at the table.  This confuses mom.
Mom has already consumed all her beverages.
Tonight we are having breaded, baked fish with cooked carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy.
Mom objects when I cut up her fish.  She insists her spoon is fine.  She eats about half of everything and then excuses herself from the table.  She gets her bearings and then heads to her room.
Eventually she returns to the table, but refuses to eat any more.  Mom is indignant that Ailene is not eating her canned mandarin oranges.  Ailene is just annoyed at mom. 
After dinner we go back to the room for a bit and look at mom's photo book.
Then, it's time to play card bingo. 
We're there a little earlier than usual.  The last few times it was a full house and sometimes mom and Donna can't sit together.  The staff don't like mom and Donna to be together all the time.  Mom is getting impatient.  She wants to hurry up and start the game.  Mom asks me where the guy is.  It makes me laugh.  Then, George tells Ming that he is handsome and mom starts to giggle. 
Today there is laundry in the hamper.  I bring a new set of underwear to be labled.  The staff member tells me mom has lots of underwear, but I just checked and she only has 3 pairs of underwear in the drawer. 
Mom and Donna didn't win anything at card bingo today, but they had fun.
Later they went to sit with Shanta in the fish tank room.
Mom seems quite with it today.
