7:30 AM – Mom came downstairs and asked me, “Are you getting rid of some of my stuff?” I replied, “No. Why?” She said, “Because there was a garage sale upstairs.” I swear to you, the laughter was involuntary! She realized that she must have been dreaming, then went to the bathroom and back upstairs. Yeah, there’s NO WAY I would have a bunch of strangers going through the house to go upstairs to buy her stuff. I don’t know how it will work with Medicaid when Mom moves into a nursing home. There might not be anything left of hers to sell or give away to my brothers, myself or Goodwill.

7:45 AM – I got home from work and discovered that Mom had left the bathroom sink faucet on. Who knows how many hours the water was running! I can’t wait to see the water bill for this month… I ended up making a reminder and hanging it above the sink for her to turn off the water when she is done with it. This has happened a few other times, but when I was home and able to discover it pretty quickly.
