New roommate

Tuesday, January 10, 2016
Mom and Donna sitting at the dinner table.  Drinks intact.
I went to mom's room to tidy up, etc.  Lots of laundry.  Today should have been bath day for mom and Donna.  I don't know if they got to Donna today.
Joan's red sweater was in mom's laundry hamper.
When I got to the table, dinner was already served and mom and Donna were already digging in.  Ginger pork, carrots and broccoli and rice.  The carrots were really tasty.  Carrot cake for dessert.  Although she ate all of her dinner, Mom didn't touch her dessert.  She did eat some of the orange that I peeled for her.  She took a banana from the fruit lady.
Mom dropped some rice on the floor.  She got up so I had to clean it up.  She pointed to a table across from us where someone had dropped food on the floor.
Donna had to go to the washroom after dinner, but she came back for dessert.
Mom went to the washroom after dinner.
I watered mom's plant, but Donna's plant was already watered.  Also, I noticed when the care aid of getting Mary ready for bed, she took mom's toothbrush and toothpaste out of the drawer!  I explained that Mary had an electric toothbrush.  That's 3 incidents with mom's toothbrush.  1.  Her toothbrush went missing.  2.  Mom's toothbrush was in Donna's drawer and Mary's toothbrush was on mom's nightstand.  3.  Mom's toothbrush is in Mary's drawer.  The care aide said that maybe staff may have done that.  I never thought of that, but that is probably true.  Someone who can't read.
Then, we went to play card bingo.  Shanta won twice.  There was a new guy.  He looked regular and spoke regular, but he was really far gone.  The woman with the sunglasses said she would kill herself if he won.  Anyways he won a game.  It was so funny.  He hasn't a clue.  When he won the bag of chips, he immediately popped it open.  He scared the people beside him because of the sound.  Then he began to happily eat the chips.  Other people around him were saying,"You're going to eat them now?"  Anyways he looked happy.
When we went back to the room after the game, mom went ahead to use the toilet.  One of the care workers said she smelt something bad.  I thought it was the elderly lady that had asked to use the toilet half an hour before, but the care worker said it was Donna.  I did notice a pee smell when I was at card bingo, but I soon became accustomed to it and forgot.
After mom came out of the washroom, Donna went in and the care worker followed and came out with a dirty diaper.  I noticed the woman with the wheelchair and dark glasses was in mom's room.  I thought she was there in error, but apparently she is the new room mate. Yikes!
I took mom and Donna to sit with Shanta and wait for hot cocoa.
