Yes, it was church and IHOP last night. It was kind of an off day too. Mom rested a lot and did not connect very much - not at mass or at IHOP where the people know her and interact with her. Mom really just looked at everyone not knowing what they were saying or how to respond. At mass, she connected little with responses, prayers, people and songs. When we got home, she went straight to bed. Some moments of joy yesterday were with the puppy in her room. After Mom's shower, I brought Heidi in to run around. Mom and I laughed a lot as the puppy dragged off her slippers - which are bigger than she is!. Mom loves that puppy - but when she has had enough, she has had enough and puts the puppy in the patio room with the door closed. I have given Mom the job of making sure the puppy goes outside to potty every two hours when we are at work. She likes to hold the puppy in her arms where, if the Heidi is tired, will fall asleep as Mom rocks her and tries to sing Rock-a-bye Baby. This morning, I gave Mom a bowl of strawberries to clean. She chose a couple to go with her pancakes that Joe made for her!
Joe and I are off to shop for a new washer and dryer - we cannot ignore any longer the slow death of our current appliances. (The refrigerator has stopped giving us water too - it's a mutiny)
I'll be in touch again soon!
