Everyone was seated, but dinner hadn't been served yet. I went to mom's room to drop off some things. When I got back dinner had been served. I had to move mom over a bit.
She sits too far from the table and sits back so she has a long way from the able to her mouth. Good thing she is wearing a bib. Unfortunately sometimes the bib is just not long enough.
We had coated fish with lemon, mixed veggies and rice. It was good. Dessert was an egg tart. We had an orange wedge each.
Mom had to take a pee. I pointed her in the right direction. I went to put my chair back in the television room and then headed back to the room with Donna.
I sorted out mom's clothing drawer, checked her toothbrushes, watered her plant, checked her laundry hamper (nothing except for a banana peel). There was a pair of underpants wrapped in a napkin. I found another pair of underpants with poop skid marks which I put in the communal hamper. I found a pair of socks on her bed, which I assumed were used.
Donna and mom headed off to play card bingo and I joined them after tidying up. I put some clementines in mom's drawer.
Mom can recognize some cards but not others. She can't tell the difference between a face card and a regular card. She knows the suits but not necessarily the numbers. It's like she can only pay attention to one feature at a time. I notice other people have a problem with the spade and the heart. They are different colours but similar in shape.
