3:15 PM – GRRRRRR! I hate it when she takes leftovers that I intend to finish off from my CLEARLY marked shelf and decides that she must have fixed it and eats it herself. Oh well. She can just continue to pay for my groceries if she’s going to eat the stuff that I make. In other news, no changes from the Dr. We’re playing it by ear since she’s been quieter the last few days. If it ramps up again to where she’s stomping and slamming doors, that’s it as far as I’m concerned. Oh, I remembered to look to see what Mom sprayed under the door last week or 2 weeks ago, whenever it was. It was hair spray. Suave Max Hold, to be exact.
Prior to this, there was just a couple of short comments about her Echo. Now, complaints about banging. I mentioned the banging to the Dr. today and she agreed that it was probably phantom noises not uncommon in Alzheimer’s patients. At the end, she tells someone to be careful who they’re aiming at. “There’s a farmer that farms in that area.” At the 37 second mark, she says, “The house on the hill is mine. Need a place to stay, right there.” I don’t know what house she’s talking about here. Not sure what she’s saying at the beginning, but shortly after, she says, “Victoria has her own place to live. I’m not giving up my Echo for anybody.” Silence for the rest of the clip. More banging. “No banging, period.” “If she needed a place to stay, there should be plenty of room in the house on the hill. Just make sure nobody else has decided to live in it instead.” Silence. “If we have to call the police officer, we will.” Silence until 1:07 when she says, “No banging is necessary, period.” The chattiest clip yet for the day: “There’s room enough for all the Geiger people, period.” Silence until 1:37 and, “If you’re going to keep the whole neighborhood awake, that’s not the way to gain any.. thing.” Quiet until 2:11. “Everything was in good repair, so why is it taking so much banging?” Silence again until 2:47. “Just remember, you’re just living there. You’re not owning it.” Silence the rest of the clip.
Nothing else was captured after the last video. Not a very chatty day again. No attitude problems today.
