I got up at 7:30 EST. I completed my
exercises and drybrushing before 8 and took a shower. When I got
out, Faye and Kurt were up. I checked my e-mail and then packed.
Faye went to the office to see about the continental breakfast. I
think Kurt went after his shower. We left about 9:30. There must
have been some problem with the Garmin because the diagram wasn't
changing and when I noticed it and tried to fix it, it then told us
to turn around and go the other way. We did some backtracking, and
stopped to really check it out. So we lost some time there. It had
to recalculate and we stopped for lunch at Wendy's. I ate carrots
and celery that I had with me. Kurt drove up to that point and Faye
drove after that. We got to my parents house about 6ish. Patrick
came over to talk to Kurt. Then Kurt went home with Faye. I took
Mom out on the porch to drink Ensure, but she wasn't ready yet. I
tapped for her while she slept. Then she took the Ensure. I took
her for a roll around the neighborhood. I parked her by the
flowerbox, and she watched me pull weeds out and plant vinca in its
place. She wanted to sit in the driveway, so I rolled her down
there. The last car in the driveway used to be mine, and it was
dirty. So I used the watering can and rainwater to wash it. I found
a piece of cardboard to use as a cloth, and then found a rag. While
I was washing, she asked to sit in the car. I told her that the car
wasn't going anywhere, but she wanted to sit there. The seats are
comfortable. So I put her in and finished washing. Then I went in
and found Dad swatting moths. The kitchen and utility room were full
of them. We discussed putting all non-perishable food in sealed
containers to solve the problem. I brought Mom in. It was 9pm so I
ate some of my veggies for supper, then gave her another Ensure along
with her pills. Dad was eating so I took a moment to check e-mail
and start my blog. When he finished, we took her to the bathroom to
clean up. I put on my bathing suit and we sat her on the shower seat
in the tub. I stood in front of her and washed her and rinsed with
the handheld shower wand. Then we got her out, dried her off, cut
her toenails, and dressed her for bed. After brushing her teeth and
putting on her splints, we had her ready for bed. Dad did most of
that. I changed out of my wet suit and bid her goodnight. It is
almost midnight and I am so ready for bed.
