Night at the races

Friday, January 27, 2017
Everyone was seated for lunch.  We had reconstituted pork ribs, mashed potatoes and gravy, mixed beans.  Jacquie had coated baked fish instead.  Dessert was berry cobbler.  I was given double portions so I just ate half.  We had chopped up orange after our meal.
I asked mom if she had to go to the washroom and she said she did so I told her to go.  She was disoriented.  I pointed in the direction she should go.  Just when I was wondering if I should go and look for her she came back.  She asked me whose dishes were in front of her.  I told her they were hers and she had just eaten.
Jacquie said that Ailene would visit our table once in a while to say "hello" to mom.  That's so sweet of her.
We sat for a bit and then headed back to our room.  Jacquie went out for a smoke.
On the way to our room, mom noticed that everyone was getting ready for the horse races so she wanted to join them.  I seated her with Anna.  I saw Shanta and I wheeled her in beside where I had saved a seat for Donna.  Donna had to go to the washroom.
I tidied mom's drawers, checked her plant, checked laundry hamper etc.  I forgot to bring her a Kleenex box.  I noticed what looked to be mouse poop.
Mom had one navel orange in her drawer so I put in some clementines.
Barbara was there for the horse races too.  George was kind of grouchy.  Anna was joking around with mom.  Anna is very touchy.  Anna and mom were giggling.  It was because a lot of people including mom were rolling ones.  At least that's what I think mom was giggling about.  Mom is impressed when someone rolls a six.  I have no idea what Anna is giggling about.  Anna thinks mom is my daughter.
Shanta won twice and gave me her chocolates which I later gave to mom.
Shanta remembers my name.
