    Other things I forgot at the store: Laundry Detergent; stain tx; Bread; and may get a rotisserie chicken. It is supposed to rain a LOT tomorrow, and if that's the case, we won't be going over to SiL's...

    Nannie conked out, so I ran down to the store to get her yogurts and puddings. She is still conked out these several hours since my return. I'm very 'calm', quiet, and still, but I actually feel...

    Nannie is sitting there frowning, eyes closed, and she is talking in her sleep....a whole entire one-sided conversation which is not understandable AT ALL. She is also making sewing motions, pushing a...

    Nannie came out of the bathroom just as I was about to set my coffee and myself down on the sofa to do some waking up. I gave her the breakfast tray and said I would take her in the bathroom to get...

    Didn't drive all the way out to the dealership; too much traffic and we would've been driving directly into the sun. Just went to the bank, post office and Harris-Teeter. All the way home I kept...

    Woke up at 8 AM and thought I should probably get up and do something, but I didn't convince myself, and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 11:11 AM from Momo barking and running around on me and...

    Yeah, well, apparently this particular nail salon SiL goes to with Nannie does have Sunday hours, and since it is Sunday it was not crowded. They got Nannie's nails cut down, filed, and painted a...

    I put in a search for a clarification of the meaning of "existential dread" and got an AI answer (which I did NOT ask for!) which used the word 'existential', not as an example in a sentence, but as...

    Oh yeah, the usual bad luck with Nannie-care respite again......SiL said she will come by tomorrow and give Nannie a shower, etc, and then take her to get her nails done, and then bring her back home....

    So, my ever on-duty Listening-Ear-Dog told me around 2 AM that there was something going on downstairs. I went down and turned the light on in the den (there's a switch at the top of the stairs), and...

    It' a balmy 52 degrees, with high clouds, and no rain, snow, or big winds. I know it's Friday because the trash barrels are out at the street. 😏 I need visual clues! Usually I have to look...

    Oh boy. CG said she had strep this week and is on antibiotics, and she has a cough. Hopefully the antibiotics have taken away her 'contagiousness'. I am off on my errands

    Texted SiL who texted me back that BiL is up there at the hospital with Nannie. She didn't break anything, but she does have a UTI. Are we surprised? That would account for her more bizarre behavior...
