3:30 AM – Mom got up to use the bathroom at about 3 and has been up and down the stairs a couple of times talking to unknown people. Of course, since she woke me up with her talking, I caught some video in the security cameras. Oh, speaking of which, the cameras that are coming today don’t record audio apparently. I wish I had seen that before ordering them, but I guess I can use those outside and move the better reolink cameras inside. Anway, in one of the videos, Victoria’s name is mentioned again as someone that took the house because they lost theirs gambling? I think that’s where she went with that.
I stopped recording after she closed her door, but listening in, she was still talking. I didn’t record because I could barely hear it on my phone with the volume all the way up. I imagine today will be pretty active, so I’ll try to get some more sleep.She’s pretty active today. In this clip, she claims that she was married to Warren for 5 years and then someone shot him to death because they didn’t want him to be a part of the family. In reality, he had a stroke and was placed in a VA nursing home and died a few years later. This is a continuation of the one from the kitchen. After the video cut off, she came downstairs, stopped at the bottom and stared at me with a pissed off look on her face, went in the kitchen and took her meds and went back upstairs. Evidently, this is the kind of stuff that goes on all day while I’m trying to sleep for work and it seems quiet upstairs.
The videos from the security cameras seem to be an easier way to see what’s going on, so I’m going to try to do that as much as I can instead of typing stuff out. If I record them on my phone, the file sizes are smaller and already in an mp4 format, so I don’t have to do anything except for copy them to the computer and upload them here. I should also mention that the captions that I’m writing are for the video directly above them. WordPress lays it out weird.
In this episode of “Mom’s Invisible Friends,” she goes on and on about being married to Warren and him being shot. At one point, she mentions that she can’t say any more about it or she could be shot too. In this episode, she gets a little louder and makes a claim that Warren was a police man (like everyone else)… it may get interesting. The camera dropped off the network at the end. In this episode, after someone shot Warren to death, they apparently tried to strangle her to stop her crying. The camera keep dropping off the network, possibly from interference. Since the topic seems to be the same thing repeated over and over, I’ll stop posting videos unless something changes.
12:20 PM – She just stomped across the floor upstairs and started shouting, it sounded like, “Someone just called me a fucking bitch! This is my house and you’re going to be out!” … and of course, the camera was giving me connection problems. so I couldn’t connect and record anything. She came downstairs then, giving me a dirty look. She went upstairs and puttered around for a while, going on about the same thing.
12:50 PM – She came back downstairs and pointed at me and said, “You’re my first born son.” Then walked into the kitchen. I’m now doing some recording of her in the kitchen where the topic is Jerry Feester being killed after being married to him for 5 years. Unfortunately, I’m getting camera drops from here as well, even though it’s only about 15 feet away from the router. She came through to go back upstairs and I asked her who was shot. She looked at me confused and said, “The father of my boys.” Wow.. what a drastic change when she was JUST talking about Jerry Feester being shot about 30 seconds before walking through here. Right before the camera dropped off, you can hear me asking about that in the next clip.
1:50 PM – The story just changed. She said, “Ervin D Geiger.. was my husband for 5 years. When he died I came back here.” She didn’t say he was shot, just that he died.
Just a short clip, but at about 40 second mark, she does this hand wave like she’s doing a Jedi mind trick. You see nothing here.. Oh, she’s also rocking back and forth. Something she does often, and said something about the house, got up and came downstairs to use the bathroom. In this episode, she was married to Warren for 5 years, then had a heart attack and died. She then mentions that I don’t want her here, so I need to go. Then something about taking care of Victoria/Veronica. She’s all over the place in this one. In this episode: She’s confused about where she lives and what properties she owns. She believes her name is on the farmhouse (it would actually be Harold Meyers.) A bunch of other crazy stuff, including Jerry Feester and someone killing him (“If you killed him, you’re the one that’s gotta pay for it.” Unknown who she was talking to. In this episode: Apparently, I think I should have all the property here and at Goose Lake. She then goes on and says that I fathered her 4 boys in the next sentence. Hopefully she doesn’t think it was me. She’s going on about different people really quickly, so it’s hard to keep track of who she’s talking about.
3:15 PM – I got a call from Shawna from Miller’s Merry Manor and she suggested that if we can make it through the weekend, then touch base with her Dr. If not, take her up to the ER so that they can do an evaluation and then to get back with her to let her know what’s going on. Syracuse doesn’t have a locked unit, but Warsaw does, but she doesn’t know if they would have a bed available. We may end up having to go with a sub-par nursing home if nothing else. What a huge relief to have someone to guide me through this! On a side note, while I was on the phone with Shawna, I heard Mom bang on the arms of her chair again. This is what usually wakes me up. It sounds like she’s banging on the floor directly.
In this episode: She heated up her soup and went upstairs to talk to some other people. She thinks that maybe she’s in her 70’s. She also know’s where she’s at, for now, as she rattles off the address. She also thinks that “He (me???) would probably kill me to make sure he got what he wanted.” She asks someone if she looks dead. This one is a weird one. Someone doesn’t think she’s alive, although she doesn’t say who that someone is. She’s getting pretty mad though.. she’s banging her spoon on her bowl harder (I actually heard it downstairs at one point.) In this episode: I capture her stomping on the floor finally and she explains why. This was right around the 5 minute mark. The neighbors are keeping an eye out for her I guess. Then the camera dropped the connection. In this episode: You see her get up quickly and walk out the door. She came downstairs and said, “Somebody said I should come down here.” I don’t know who that would be, but she went back upstairs. She also needed a list of names, for emergency purposes. The shortly after the camera lost connection. In this episode: Jerry keeps changing his name. She wants to know what’s wrong with her armchair. Jerry changed his last name to LeMue? (probably not the right spelling, but sounds like it.) She stomps on the floor again. She’s trying to piss me off I think. I wonder why I can’t get any sleep? She then tries to convince someone that it wouldn’t be as loud as it is. Bunch of weird stuff, then gets up and comes downstairs, looks at me funny and goes back up. In this episode: It’s getting ridiculous and she wonders if she’s going to have to listen to this all night. I don’t know what “this” is and she doesn’t say and I agree that it’s getting ridiculous. She tell someone to “Stop it.” Again, I don’t know what “it” is. I then get told to knock it off and not to tell her friends that they can’t visit. She came half-way down the stairs and asked me if I was watching Travel Channel. She went back up and told someone what I was doing (playing a game – in between typing). Odd. A few minutes later she did the same thing, went back up and said, “No he’s not.” And she came down and asked the same thing… this time coming all the way down the stairs. I guess one of her invisible friends is making some noises and then blaming it on me?? She asked, “Why is he is saying screw you?” I wasn’t… I said “I’m not watching Travel Channel.” when she commented that if I was watching it, she would come down and watch it with me. She’s telling me to stop it and saying what I’m supposedly telling her. I haven’t said a word. Apparently I tapped the phone just right and it stopped recording, so it didn’t catch the last part of the stuff in my notes. She came downstairs and told me (with an attitude), “All I’m watching is Travel Channel.”
5:15 PM – I realize I posted a lot of videos, but seeing all of this today makes me realize that even though it seemed quiet (for the most part) when she was upstairs, she was most likely like this all the time. This is why my sleep has been suffering lately. By the time I get home from work and get some supper and go to sleep, it’s typically around 8:30-9:30 AM. Mom seems to get up at around 11:00 AM most days and the up and down the stairs starts, along with all the talking and here lately, stomping on the floor. I have my alarm set for 5:00 PM, but a lot of the times, I end up giving up trying to sleep and am up at 3:00 PM (yesterday it was 1:30 that I gave up and got up.) If it’s not the stomping or going up and down the stairs, she’ll sit in the kitchen and talk as loud as you hear in these videos, which also wakes me up. So anyway, I’m going to keep recording for now, but will stop posting the videos unless something major happens. * Update 5:30 PM – I take that back. I’ll post the next one because in it, I interrupted her conversation to take her pill up to her. She says thank you and after a pause after I leave, continues her conversation.
She seems to be seeing someone that apparently has a parking problem. She’s not looking out the window to see this happening, but she sees it happening anyway. In a later video, it seems the person having such a hard time parking is me??? I guess I call myself a police officer. Yeah, the fun continues after this video. I’ll probably have to post one of them where she’s telling the cops how to deal with me, because they are evidently incapable of figuring it out without her help. I guess I committed a crime by tearing up her driveway and driving her Echo. For the record, the Echo hasn’t been driven since she handed me the keys during the summer of 2018. Last time I tried starting it, the battery was dead. It’s pretty amusing that she thinks the cops need her to tell them how to do their job.
7:20 PM – Things are quiet right now. She’s in her room, door closed and it looks like the light is off. This doesn’t exactly mean she’s done for the night, but for now she’s quiet. I turned the motion sensor for the camera on so if she comes out, I’ll get an alert.
