Lucidity

Mom is being remarkably lucid just now - she was pretty sharp last night and is still sharp today. For the first time in a long time she asked me about her money situation. And she has been taking care of herself - going up and down the hall to the bathroom by herself - refusing aid to get into her bed (even though, it turns out, that she never did get into it last night - sigh). But still, it is a pleasant change. I wonder why it is happening. And how long it will last.

She is totally crashed now. I think she was awake-ish most of the night last night. Sigh.

I did a little Smith work today - and then went and returned returnables. I made a mess of my car - poop. But it was good to get the bags out of the basement of the Smith. We did have quite a few returnables.

Mom slept through dinner and I am torn. Force her to wake up and force food on her, or let her sleep. Normally I force her to wake up. This time, I am letting her sleep. If she is hungry later, I will feed her something, anything, who knows what? It depends on when she wakes up. I am still going to aim for my regular bed time - midnight or one or two am. Something like that.

My list of things to do for the Smith is getting larger rather than smaller. Sigh. I will do my best to knock most of them out tonight and tomorrow. Luckily I have a staff worker doing the RPO so I can go, say hi and leave. Yippee!
