Bubble wrap.
Mom has been popping bubbles for over an hour now.
I asked her to stop several times because I was worried her fingers would get tired.
She has arthritis.
She assured me she was fine.
We'll see tomorrow.
She had butter chicken for dinner.  She didn't complain except that she thought she had too much food.  I told her that I would eat it.  Anyways she ate everything.
Took mom for her flu shot today.
She seems fine.
The pharmacist said that Vaseline was fine for rosacea.

Mom was very grouchy today at dinner.
She complained that she had to eat the same food everyday.
Of course this is impossible, but this is what she feels.
She also complained that people were stealing her things.
At least she enjoyed her bath and hair wash.
She still has that rash on her face.
I think it's rosacea.

Just called mom.  She said she was very sick.  She couldn't explain what was wrong, but she was sure that she was going to die.  She said she didn't have a very good breakfast.  I tried to reassure her.  I told her that someone would come and make lunch for her and that I would be there for dinner.  She was adamant that she would not last that long.

She had a good day yesterday.  She went to daycare.  Yay!  She had a nice dinner, although she couldn't remember any details.  She said she was ready to go to bed when I called her at 9:10 p.m.

Mom seems to be in a pretty good mood.
She is still concerned that robbers came and took away all the gifts that her sisters brought;  even though, I showed her where I had put things away.
There was a fair at Nikkei so I was able to buy some chicken karaaage at Mogu.  It was delicious, but a little too oily and salty.
Mom helped with the dishes after lunch, but then she was tired and took a nap.
I took her to my place for dinner.
She helped to prepare the salad.
After dinner she helped to dry the dishes.
She helped chop up apples for an apple crisp.
I altered mom's new powder pink pajamas that I  bought at Costco.
We watched the Honeymooners as we ate apple crisp with ice cream.

Mom woke up in a good mood.
We had pancakes and bacon for breakfast.  She had a good appetite.
After breakfast she said she felt tired and took a nap.
About an hour later when she awoke, she said she felt cold.
I gave her more blankets and gave her a cup of warm milk.
She took another nap.
At lunch we had leftovers:  butter chicken, green salad and boiled pumpkin.
She had a good appetite.
Mom didn't even help to dry the dishes after lunch.  We watched some animals at work episodes and then she took another nap.

Mom was very upset this morning when I called.
She said she was very ill and couldn't eat breakfast.
She said that all the gifts she received were gone.
I told her not to worry because I would find them when I went for dinner tonight.
She said that she might be dead by that time.

Cats

Sunday, October 11, 2015
We had an early lunch, because I had to get home and make stuff for the dinner.  I was busy so I turned on the television and had mom watch shows like the Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, I Love Lucy, etc. and mom seemed to enjoy them.  She enjoyed looking at old photographs as well, but then she became concerned about the dry patches on her skin.  I washed her face and applied face cream.
Mom was very tired and took a nap shortly after she got to my place.  I washed her hair.  She was confused about where she was going.
When we got to Frank and Sharon's mom sat on the couch with the cats.  She seemed very content.  Of course, she got covered in cat fur and had to be sticky taped when she left.
She enjoyed being with her sisters.  She ate a lot.  After her sisters left, she wanted to go home.  She played with the cats briefly and then wanted to go home again.
When we got back to my place, she didn't want to take a bath.
