I did get some sleep last night. Mama was out until 4:54 AM. She was up eating. Am not sure exactly what happened, but the room divider filled with photos was leaning over. Luckily it did not fall on top of Mama.
5:15AM back in bed
5:21AM up and eating
5:36AM back to bed after giving me some mashed potatoes and very messy kisses on both cheeks.
5:48AM came to living room to give me two cookies. Went back to bed without eating this time.

7:30AM up to go to the bathroom. I ran in to change her Depends.

9:30AM new plate
10:11AM changed her dress; put medicine on her sore toe; changed socks; then she ate again
I was able to corral Mama into the car to get to church a little early this week. I think she enjoyed the fellowship. We came home after the service and ate (surprise! Surprise!) then took a bit of a nap. Of course about the time I dozed off, she got up. Guess I did not really need that nap after all.
2:34PM eating then back to bed
3:40PM eating plate number 8 million something just counting today!!
3:51PM eating
4:13PM eating; then to bed
4:39PM another plate

And I think that brings you up to date. It is a little after 5:00 Sunday Afternoon so am sure she will be back in a few minutes.
Hugs to one and all,
Mama
