Friday night cards

Friday, November 25th, 2016
Metrotown skytrain station was a zoo.  It took me 10 minutes to get out of the station.
I realized too late that it was Black Friday.
Mom and Donna had just come from their room and were going to sit in the fish tank room.
I suggested they go and sit in the television room.  There was a movie with Robert Redford that I've never seen before.  Mom decided to come with me.
I combed her hair.  It was really tangled at the back.  I tidied up her drawer and collected her laundry.  I found a banana peel, an empty bag of Doritos, 3 mugs, a bag of corn puffs and a bunch of towels and bibs.  We shared some persimmon, nuts and some daikon and cucumber.
Then we went to join the others in the television room.
I suggested we play cards and everyone was in.  We played in the dining room.
Mom won twice, Shanta and Anna won one game each.    Anna was on Shanta's case because she didn't turn her cards over.  I turned the furthest ones over for her.  I explained that Shanta couldn't reach.
I caught the bus back with one of the staff.  She said that mom was easy to care for because she was calm and quiet.  She agreed that mom needed a lot of cueing.  She said Donna was always talking for her deciding what to do.  They did everything together.
She assured me that mom brushed her teeth every night after having her cocoa.
