12 noon, and time to get the Nannie-person up, dressed and fed. The CG will be here after a while and then I still have to do all the things I didn't do yesterday like I thought I would. Perhaps I make things difficult for myself by being so excellent at putting things off all the time, but sometimes I just CAN'T stand to do one more housekeeper's chores. 

Good evening.

Housekeeping chores seem never ending.

Joe, sounds like you're doing right by your cat.  

Work was okay.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  Got cussed out by a patient over the nurse being late with pain medication.  Had to calm him down and ask him to not use profanity.

Got home relatively early for me but I realized I forgot to do my end of shift report.  Oh well. 

Today started out raining, but the sun is out now. I got a massage, and nearly fell asleep. I picked up an over-priced caramel protein latte and came home to tackle the taxes. I thought dh had agreed to either leave work outside while I did them, but the TV was on, and he was in his office, popping out to ask questions. He finally realized when I came into his office to grab the tax forms I printed, what I was actually doing. But I plugged my way through, and we will get a small return. I must have finally found the sweet spot for withholding. 

I am heading off to another band concert for youngest grandson. Dh went to a mason bee class. We will probably just pick up fast food for dinner. I really the baked potatoes at Wendy's. 

I just typed a LONG email, and at the stroke of the last letter ....it all disappeared! 

NUTSHELL VERSION:

Found her sitting on the floor when I went into her room this morning. Called the 911 guys to come haul her up. She slept the whole while the CG was here. I had to wake her up for supper and when I put the tray and supper on her lap and told her to look down at the tray on her lap.....well, she was very agreeable but acted like I had said nothing. Did not look at her lap or the tray or her supper. That happened 4-5 times...she'd smile and say "yes" and "Okay" but didn't' seem to understand me at all! After realizing that she was vacant in her brain, I ended up having to feed her because she couldn't understand I wanted her to pick up her fork or spoon when I pointed them out and told her to pick up ONE of them and start eating. "Okay" another smile with no action.

Then trying to get her up from the recliner was ridiculous.....she did not understand that she had to move her feet; she'd only buckle at the knees and sit back down on the recliner. After about 20 minutes of the good ol' college try, I gave up and called BiL. He had to practically man-handle her to get her out of the recliner, then help me get her on and off the toilet and then onto the bed.

What a )(^%@#%& evening! In the AM, SiL is coming over to get her up and dressed because one of the therapists is coming around noon. Well, good luck with that! I hope she gives SiL a real fun time like she did with me.

I have to go upstairs and go to bed === I hope *I* can remember how to move my feet! And I am half afraid Nannie will end up on the floor again at some point. Jeesh! I hear her, but hope it is only her talking in her sleep like she sometimes does. I feel like I need to peek into her room but.....but....but I don't want to, but I reckon I have to. She NEVER calls out when she ends up on the floor, and if I want to sleep, I hafta check on her before I go upstairs.

WHEW! I did open her door very quietly and saw she was curled up on her side ON THE BED! Hallelujah! and good night!

Heysusz, Maria, and Guiseppe! (That's one of my more polite exclamations, kinda-sorta not taking anyone's name in vain? maybe?)
