Some Money

While I was emptying the port-a-potty this morning, I opened Mary's dresser drawer and gave her a brush to fix her hair with--I usually do it because she can't do it as well. She finished with her hair and started to mess around in the drawer. I tell you, she is as curious as a cat! She found this beautiful little change purse that Jan and Ed had given her a few years ago and was delighted with it, so I had the bright idea to put a dollar in there. It's kind of hilarious because every time she opens it, she is completely surprised. I'll be curious to see if at some point she remembers that there's money in there. I also took her old note that she'd stuffed in her robe pocket and wrote on the back that all the money we have is hers and put it in the purse. I did this while she was eating breakfast and she just watched me! She said that she would be opening it to find out what I'd put in there. I've never seen her eat so fast! It was Nutella on toast--very messy.

I'm going to see a play with J today. I haven't heard much from him recently and have kind of lost interest. That's funny because I thought he'd be the one to lose interest. He sent me an email around 2AM this morning implying that he felt very passionate about me. Hm. At this point I've got some distance and I think he's just flirting. It will be interesting trying to figure him out--if I don't get too entangled. Did I mention that my ex-boyfriend from Germany has decided to come visit? He wants to keep his oar in, or whatever that saying is. Gee, I feel so...desired!

She just read about the money and wanted to know where she got it, so I gave my pat answer: Well, you were married three times. That seems to do it.

Oh, now I see that she had only half-finished her breakfast. I hope she didn't get Nutella all over the purse!

ENT visit for her tomorrow. I hope he can get her straightened out. My throat is hurting again. And my ears don't seem to be much, if any, better.
