Mary was driving me crazy this evening with seeing someone at the door and waving to them and telling them to come in, so I took the curtain down. It didn't help, so I taped brown paper over the window. I hate it, but it saved my sanity, so it will stay. Maybe I can find some nicer paper, but right now I'm just too tired.
Just after dinner, Mary had to use the bathroom. I think it was the worst I've ever had to clean up. I don't mind so much as long as I have the rubber gloves, but I was just tired. Her not being able to hear is very, very tiring. She doesn't even try to read your lips.
I'm so tired because she started having chest pain around 6 or 6:30 and then she wanted to get up around 7 or 7:30. I've been having trouble getting to sleep--still turned around from my being sick, I guess.
I finally took my note down today because she was so upset that Grandma had passed away and she didn't know it and wondered if she'd seen her or visited her much. Then she starts wondering if she's been a good person and why she doesn't hear from her family. Argh!
I had to go today to get another skein of yarn to finish the baby afghan I'm crocheting for the baby of one of my nieces. I hate to work on it at the moment, though, because Mary keeps asking what I'm making. Maybe I'll just write it out :-)
I have Mary's birthday cake in the oven. It smells heavenly. It's called Harvest Moon Cake and has dark brown sugar instead of granulated and a 7-minute caramel frosting (like sea foam) with walnuts in it. Oh, it also has dark rum brushed on the layers and a sprinkling of nuts on the top. 3 8"-inch layers. I can't wait to taste it!
Barri (Mary's last husband's daughter) sent Mary a card and I got one out and signed it and gave it to her, she kept reading them and seemed alright with her turning 97. Thank goodness she's finally come to accept it!
Well, I've got to wash the dishes. I'm going to an ENT tomorrow, I hope--if it doesn't snow like crazy, which I don't think it will. Can't wait to get straightened out!!!
