Tuesday and a Trip to the Market

I didn't sleep as well last night. I woke up twice in the night and one of those times I took the last of my water with my meds. 

Luckily I am going to the market this morning at 9:00AM I am also taking Nancy. She is running out of food. I took her a chicken pot pie last evening and we cooked that in her microwave and she ate it. But her frig is almost bare. I asked her to make a grocery list but I won't know if she got it done until I get over there this morning. 

I don't believe she took her morning meds yesterday morning either. I saw to it that she took her evening meds while I was there. Dale has taken her check book and her debit card. She doesn't really need her check book since he pays her bills but she could use another debit card. I will ask her to request one today. She has just been asking a clerk to withdraw $100 every now and then from the money her mother left her. That holds her for awhile. Since she's going to the market today she may need more cash. I don't know how much she has left. She also forgot to ask how much is left in her mother's account. 

Today sometime, the new owners of the duplex want to get the key from me to go through their side again. They want to install a dishwasher on their side and also new carpet. I wish they would put new carpet on my side. Every time I vacuum I get a fist size wad of dirt in my sweeper. Suzanne had the carpet cleaned before I moved in but the woman that lived here before me was disabled and I don't believe she was able to clean thoroughly and that dirt must be trapped between the carpet and the pad. I wish I knew where there was a dry cleaning machine like the one Nathan used to get to clean my carpets when I was in my own home. And the guy from Tyro who did it the first time moved to California.

I want to go watch "the weather on the 8's". When I opened the front door earlier Scruff was out there hungry. She didn't come for supper last night. Blondie did.. but I sent him home to eat. He is not a stray.

So, more later.. 

I went over to Nancy's at 9:00AM as planned but she hadn't eaten breakfast or made her grocery list...and of course, she hadn't taken her meds either. She had dressed though and that was a plus. So I made her some toast and set out the four pills she was supposed to take after she eats and we started working on a grocery list. She took her meds after she ate and then we went to the market. I got home at 11:30PM. That took the morning. 

I still haven't heard from Suzanne's buyers. They wanted to see their side of the duplex again so she had given me their keys and gave them my telephone number. They must be coming this afternoon sometime.

Steve and Suzanne are closing today after all. She sent me a voicemail telling me that. They were not aware of that until the buyer contacted them this afternoon.

It's 4:16PM now and I just finished another Kindle book.

I met my new landlords this evening. They were looking over their apartment next to mine here in the duplex. They are getting new carpet and they are getting me some too. I am very pleased about that. This carpet was cleaned when I moved in but every time I vacuum it I get a wad of dirt as large as my fist out of my sweeper. It will be good to have new carpet.Their names are Stephen and Dee Anna Haley. He is a pharmacist at the Coffeyville hospital and she teaches school at South Coffeyville.

I will wait until 7:00PM to take my bath and go on to bed at 9:00PM as usual. I hope I can sleep better tonight!

With all you did this morning, you made good with the time you had with Nancy. I am surprised you made it home again by 11:30.

Nancy may need to go into assistant living..which is not a nursing home. You can't be going there all the time to take care of her. It appears her family left her to force her into one knowing that she cannot take care of herself.

You're a good friend. Forgetting stuff and not realizing it is a rough thing. Hope missing her meds doesn't cause a medical or falling situation. Does someone else prepare her meds boxes? Some places will contract for some extra care procedures where she's at, before moving to a more skilled care level. Depends on a lot of factors around money, benefits, qualifications / certifications of need that are confusing and limiting. Linda in Kansas

I hope Nancy can stay home as long as she wishes.
