4:00 pm – Mom is once again confused as to whether I am her brother or her son. She knows us four boys’ names, but can’t seem to wrap her brain around the fact that we are her sons. This is pretty unusual at this time of day. The confusion seems to happen more when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
A couple of new annoyances: Lately she’s been going out to the garage and grabbing old towels and washcloths that I have out there for rags and is washing them. (They were already clean and on shelves.) It seems she’s always doing a partial load of laundry now. Together with leaving the water running, this should make for some hefty water bills! The other annoyance is that she keeps adding things to the hand soap dispensers other than the Soft Soap that I have refill bottles of under each sink! She’s added water, dish soap and even hair conditioner. I can’t get her to understand that’s what the refill is for. Right now there some weird looking floaties and what looks like dish soap in the one at the kitchen sink, even though I had just cleaned it out and topped it off a couple of days ago!
