10:30 AM – I just got asked, “Are you retired now?” Uhhh, no Mom. I’m only 51. Can’t retire yet. I don’t know if maybe she thinks I should be at work or what, but that was an odd question that I’ve never been asked before. She’s also hearing the phantom banging noise again. I just heard her say something along the lines of, “There’s not supposed to be any banging in this house.”

12:50 PM – Mom has gone outside several times today. This time, I managed to see that she had gone out to the back deck and sat on the steps next to her car. She then got up and rubbed it where some top-coat paint has started to flake away near the trunk. While she hasn’t been chatty lately, her Echo is evidently still on her mind.

Just some off the wall scrawling that Mom left on the counter. See if it makes any sense to you.
She got a little chatty all of the sudden starting at 1:30. It’s about my Hot Red Camaro and then says “Don’t you dare hurt him. We’re depending on him to take us where we need to go.” I’m not sure who this we and us are. She doesn’t say anything else after the “Don’t you dare hurt him” comment.
About an hour after the last one and about 30 seconds in, she’s going on about arresting someone, then says, “It’s up to you to arrest yourself.” I kept that because I thought the idea of cops arresting themselves was amusing.
“There’s no way her keys fit my Echo.” Quiet until 1:35 when she tells someone that she’s at the house watching TV. She was told to “let you take care of it.” She doesn’t steal from anyone else, why should hers be taken from her? She wants hers parked where it belongs and left alone. Her keys should be in her purse. Someone downstairs should be taking care of her purse. She gets up and goes into her room and nothing else is said the rest of the night.

Out of the 125 clips that were triggered by the upstairs camera, those three were the only ones where she said anything. Maybe 50 of them were from her going up and down the stairs and another 50 were from the flicker of the TV setting it off in an empty room. Fairly quiet day.
