Tantrum

Friday, November 4, 2016
A man was having a tantrum.  It was upsetting everyone.
I went to mom's room to drop off my things.
When I came back, everything was back to normal.
Our meals had all been served.
We had "pork" spare ribs.  It was ground pork made to look like spare ribs with barbecue sauce.  It was quite tasty.  We had a blueberry cobbler for dessert.   Mom didn't touch her dessert and I had a taste of it because there weren't enough desserts at our table.
Jacquie said that the man had gone to a bar in Metrotown and had come back inebriated.
Mom ate everything and everybody at the table said that she had been eating well.
I noticed mom wasn't drinking everything before she ate.
In fact, she hardly drank anything.
I grabbed the milk and took it back to her room.
I gave her some vitamin D pills and a multi-vitamin and gave her milk to wash it all down.
We went to the "horse races."
Mom doesn't like to sit by the men.  She kept telling me to sit in the empty seat beside her.  I explained that only residents could play the game.
Donna won a chocolate.  I had to peel the foil for her.  Her arthritis is bad.
Shanta won a chocolate and gave it to me.  I gave half to mom and half to Donna.
Shanta has a lot of mucous.
Jacquie said that they had all received their flu shots.
After the races we went back to the room and I sorted out the laundry.  I found a pair of soiled underpants in mom's drawer.  I found a couple of maybe used pairs of underpants.
There was even a pair of used underwear in mom's laundry hamper, but also some wet tissue paper.  Mom may have tried to wash her underwear.
I peeled an orange for mom and Donna to eat.  At first mom said she didn't want any, but they each ate about half.
We met Anna on the way to the fish tank room and we played card bingo with Shanta too.
