11:30 AM – Mom has been strangely quiet so far today. I’m not getting my hopes up for the rest of the week, heck, for the rest of the day even. She has been up and down the stairs numerous times though. Her day started when she first came down at 8:28 (according to footage.) I’ve counted 8 times so far (including as I’m typing this.)
I have no idea who she’s talking to. I’m sitting in the living room the whole time. I can’t tell everything she’s saying, but I kept this clip because at about the 2:30 mark, you see her get up and motion someone to follow her. It seems she actually sees whoever she thinks she’s talking to. Bye bye if you can’t control your mouths. If you’re police officers, shut your damned engines off. Shut Up! And we’re getting louder and she even pounded on a book that’s sitting in front of her. Unfortunately, the camera didn’t catch that. I had turned the sensitivity down because the flickering of the TV was triggering it when she wasn’t even upstairs. She’s worked herself into tears and claims that I just killed a good friend of hers. For the record, I’ve STILL never killed anyone.. lol. Silence until 3:40 when she says something about water source for the Geiger area. 4:20 Apparently I was saying something to someone about wanting her dead so I could use her money to pay for a gambling debt. Only problem is, I don’t gamble, not even scratch off tickets! Oh, and I’ve never told anyone that I want her dead. Just 5 minutes of random stuff, beginning with her referring to me in the past tense (she does this twice in this clip.) She also mentions the camera, so she’s aware that it’s there.
8:45 PM – The voices in her head won’t “stop it” unless I walk into a room it seems. She was just out in the kitchen waking me up from my nap yelling at the voices to stop it. I suggested that maybe it’s time to go to the hospital to see what they can do about it. She told me no, the voices stopped when I walked in the room. I think they stopped because I distracted her or something. I’m reviewing footage from the time I was napping (I managed to get about 3 hours so that I can stay up all night and sleep tomorrow during the day for work tomorrow night.) There is a lot to go through and if I see any that are out of the ordinary, I’ll post them below.
At the beginning of this clip, you see her messing with something on the left (viewer’s left). She was messing around with something in that area for a bit in another video. I point this out because later in this clip, she says that someone doesn’t want her here and that they broke the fan. I kept this clip because after that, she smiles and says “thank you.” Talking starts at about 3:15 when she asks someone if they are stuck or something. She’s looking over at some coffee mugs that she has pens and pencils in. She’s getting a headache from the squealing in her head and the banging. She thought someone was dead. Quiet until 3:30 mentions me, then the bathroom and other random stuff. I think we finally find out where the pink house is. She is apparently referring to the one at Big Lake that was next to Grandma & Grandpa Geiger’s house. For some reason, she thinks that was supposed to be her house. A bunch of random stuff and then I guess I’m trying to kill her and that’s obviously not a good thing. She thinks there’s a police officer on stand-by right outside the house. The Echo is apparently being used as a back-up in case they have a problem with their squad cars. Someone’s trying to get her in a nursing home because they think she’s talking to herself (she’s not?)
She mentions something about handling a gun. Then says that she doesn’t see anything now, gets up and goes into her room and grabs a can of spray. It looks like hair spray (maybe Aquanet?) and sprays it at the bottom of the door. I’ll have to look and see what the can is tomorrow while she’s downstairs. That was just weird. At the end she gets up and walks funny to go downstairs. Random stuff then she say that she and Warren had been married for 5 years. She started to say that someone killed him, then said that he had a heart attack. Later, she looks at the camera and says, “Don’t say that you don’t hear that.” I’m here to tell ya, you’re hearing the same thing that I am, just her voice. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. That’s a symptom of Alzheimer’s you know. (Huh, sounds familiar.) Now what I am I supposed to be stealing now. Refers to my car (as always) as the Hot Red Camaro. Back to the pink house again. Get together and come up with something, she’s gonna stay out of it. (*shrugs* I don’t know either.) Silence until about 3:50 random stuff. Random stuff until about 2:50. She says something about me and also mentions that I’m a police officer. Jerry Feester is now taking care of her (Veronica/Victoria I guess) and she’s even tried to nurse her, at her age. (Uhhhhhhhhhhh, yeeeeaaaah.) The broken fan is revealed. It’s not actually broken. The top just got pulled off of the base. The switch in the back is missing though. At 2:20, she asked, “Jerry’s trying to put me in a nursing home?” This Jerry just does everything it seems. I don’t know who she’s talking to or even looking at, but she says, “You said you can fix this?” She carried it downstairs and laid it on a counter. I ended up throwing it out because the missing switch exposed the motor, potentially causing a shock or fire hazard. Quiet until about 2:20: “That’s bullshit!” Something about her Echo and how Veronica was going to take it as her own. Still no clue who Veronica is, but is evidently a big time thief. She goes on to talk about a picture of Warren. At about 4:30, she puts her hands out and shortly afterwards asks, “Why does somebody keep calling me a bitch?” (It wasn’t me.. I was actually asleep on the couch at this time.) Nod and a thumbs up. Something about Veronica. Little bit later, she’s not going to try to raise Victoria. “The first thing she tried to do was nurse me.” (Wait, wasn’t that Veronica just a few clips back?) Silence the rest of the clip and she goes downstairs. At about 1:50: “That’s the second time.” Unknown for what. At 2:45: Veronica/Victoria grabbed a knife and it shows she can’t be trusted. At 3:40: “OK, she’s committed a murder. It’s time to take care of her right now. You’ve got all the proof you need.” (That Veronica/Victoria is one bad girl!)
That’s all I have for the upstairs camera. I haven’t even checked the kitchen yet, but I don’t think I’m going to mess with it since I’ve already uploaded a bunch today. By uploading all these videos, hopefully it will help the Doctor’s when it comes time to evaluate her. Is it excessive? Is it obsessive? Yeah, probably a little of both, but it may also be necessary.
