Last night I played a game of Tetris.
I am getting better at moving the pieces. This morning, I ignored
Dad's alarm and went back to sleep. I did the same with mine. But I
was up before 9. I wiped Dad's new shoes with alcohol since he wears
them with bare feet. I swished while checking e-mail. He called the
dentist and they said they'd call back when they received his
records. I drank water and took the vit C. I did some tapping for
the stress of dealing with rental agents. I exercised and made
breakfast. I painted Dad's toenails with fungicide. We discussed
William's recompense for various services rendered . I got a call
from our church organist wanting to practice before Sunday. So we
decided on Saturday at 1. Dad and I discussed driving stick shift.
He recalled driving with his mother. Reciting those memories, he
seemed to straighten up and use his right arm more expressively. I
vacuumed spots that don't normally get swept. I wanted to clean, but
my hands still hurt. But I could not resist taking the bathroom rug
out to beat it. Then I swept the bathroom floor and washed the
baseboards. Since I had the water already, I washed the doors in the
den and kitchen. Kevin arrived to do the cooking. I got a call from
Denise. I got to tell her all about the agent problem. Dad popped
his head in to say he was taking a walk. By then Denise had given me
her advice and told me I might as well go walking with him. So I put
on my coat to follow him, but he came back to make a pit stop.
Parker called me back. I went walking with Dad. It was really cold
and I was wearing only a short-sleeved top under my coat. But
eventually I did warm up. Parker called again when she got to the
house to tell me about the water. She said it wasn't there on the
23rd, and she did not see any movement (no more water
coming in). She wondered if the sump pump breaker had been flipped.
But the electrical panel was in the back room of the basement.
Neither one of us thought she should wade through the water to open
the electrical panel. By the time the call was over, so was our
walk. Kevin was watching TV, and started the cruciferous juice when
we walked in. I sat in the living room enjoying the silence and the
Christmas tree lights while tapping. I wrote Kevin a check. Then I used my tub of water to
clean in the utility room. I moved some boxes from the hall closet
to the little bedroom closet so I could get all of the extra towels
and washcloths in. I think Parker called again. I got distracted.
I washed surfaces in the utility room, and then in the kitchen. I
guess that was after Kevin left. Dad was eating, so I ate some too.
Dad wanted me to cut the casserole in 16 precisely equal pieces. It
wasn't hard with Mom's 12.5 inch square ruler. I brought in the
bathroom rug. It was a little damp but seemed to dry quickly. And
then I reorganized the hall closet so that the sheets and
pillowcases and blankets were more accessible. Dad asked if Chris
was going to skype, which reminded me to check. He had, so I
responded. Then he had to go to bed. Dad had already gone to bed.
So that makes it my turn.
I put hydrogen peroxide on my thumb cut again. Seems like it just keeps getting reinfected. I took a pic of the closet, and posted to my blog.
