8:40 AM – She came downstairs to use the bathroom and then went up and sat on her bed. The topic so far seems to be being married to Warren Murphy for 5 years and him dying of a heart attack and thanks to him she is a lifetime member of the Legion. Something chasing her. Her sister Faye. Nobody lets her drive and her Echo is worth more than she bought it for (nope, only about $1,100.) “I’m not going to talk to you. You don’t belong here.” “Nobody’s supposed to say the F word here. I’m not going to put up with it. Neither is Jesus.” So, pretty much all over the place this morning.
12:15 PM – I’ve got to get ready and head to Warsaw. Gotta stop at the Auditor’s office to get homestead credit then to insurance company for homeowner’s insurance. I’ll check in on Mom when I can.
3:15 PM – Everything is taken care of with the house except for paying it off! While on my way home, I checked the cameras and Mom was sitting downstairs. She wasn’t saying anything for the minute I was listening, but when I got home, she was still sitting there. I asked her how she was feeling today and she told me that she had a headache, so I gave her 2 Tylenol. While she was still sitting down here, I had some stuff to put away upstairs and snapped a picture of her bedroom:

3:30 PM – She seems pretty emotional today since the voices won’t shut up. I’m not intervening since things seem to go south when I do these days. I get the “I don’t want to argue” stuff and when I try to press the issue, she just seems to get pissed at me. Best I can do is make sure she eats something and make sure she’s taking her medications. Anyway, she’s not as talkative right now. She says Shut UP at one point and says something about pythons and not being able to see them right now. If anything ramps up, I’ll be sure to post some video of it. As of right now, it’s pretty much the same thing that’s in the earlier videos for today.
5:45 PM – She came down without any fuss and I helped her get her stuff together. I played nice and pointed out the window at the snow and said Yuk. She smiled about that. Any time I’d walk out of the kitchen, she’s start talking. She called me out at one point and when I didn’t go right away, she came out and said, “Someone told me I’m not supposed to be here.” I just reminded her that we are the only ones here and she said, “I know” and shrugged.
6:30 PM – Mom came out here after putting her stuff away from her supper and said, “I think we have a problem in the basement. Jerry Feester, and officer, might have been shot.” I told her no one has been shot, I would have heard it. She seemed to be OK with that and went upstairs where she flipped through a magazine. She came back downstairs a few minutes later and said, “Shannon, somebody says there’s a big python outside.” I told her that it’s too cold outside for pythons. She said that she knew, but that’s what somebody said. I told her that they are lying to her then, because pythons just can’t live in this kind of cold.
She has gotten loud enough that I can actually hear her upstairs without the camera.
8:00 PM – Mom came down to tell me that Jerry Feester says there’s a great big python in the neighbors yard. She said that she can’t help him and asked him why he didn’t have a list of other policemen. I commented that he’s not a very smart policeman then is he? She agreed. I looked at the temperature outside (34 degrees) and told her that if there’s a python out there, it’s dead. They can’t survive that cold of a temp. She seemed satisfied with that answer and went back upstairs. She was quiet for about 4 minutes and back to basically calling Jerry an idiot because he didn’t know how to get help.
8:30 PM – It’s been the repetitive python dilemma up until just a minute ago when following a comment about me saying it’s too cold for pythons, she suddenly switched to the Veronica/Victoria girl that she caught going through people’s purses. She actually says Victoria’s name, but I think they are the same person. The girl also tells Mom that she is her daughter. It suddenly shifts to someone upstairs saying “Shut the F up.” She says, “No one is supposed to talk that way in this house.” Well #@*!. I better watch it, I might get arrested for saying the F-word! OK, had to throw in a little humor tonight before cutting it off and taking a nap so I can stay up most of the night and sleep tomorrow for work.
