4:00 P.M. – I woke up at about 3:30 this afternoon and heard Mom upstairs praying. I kept hearing mention of rats and how dangerous they were and only you have the power. I have been hearing her praying an awful lot lately and when I can catch anything, it usually seems to be about the subject of “critters.” In fact, I can hear whispers from her in the kitchen right now. So anyway, I got up to fix some coffee and found this note on the counter:

So it definitely seems that the “critters,” while not physically, are mentally consuming her to the point where moving is something that she thinks will solve the problem. I guess there wouldn’t be “critters” somewhere else?? I imagine there will be critters at a nursing home, too.
