11:00 AM – I called the hospital and spoke to Mom for a few minutes. She kinda of sounded out of it and one of the nurses said she might still be groggy from the change and strength of the medication she is on. It doesn’t help that she’s so hard of hearing. They asked if she had hearing aids and I let her know that she got some about 30 years ago and complained that they just made everything louder, so she hasn’t been interested in getting another set, even though several people have told her that they make them with noise cancelling technology that can quiet the tinnitus that makes it so hard for her to hear. She believes that the “Miracle Ear” hearing aids were supposed to be top of the line.
She told me that the nurses were awesome there and were treating her good. She kept saying that she wasn’t having any problems there. I kept trying to get things out of her, like, how the food was, if she was making any friends etc. She did say that she was comfortable there, “More than I was at the pink house.” So yeah, the dementia has her in it’s clutches. She thinks she went from the pink house to there. It may also mean that she’s not seeing pythons or anything else there, which of course would make her more comfortable.
She did say that she was watching TV in her room when I called. She thought that she might be sharing a room with an older lady that just came in, so they evidently aren’t private rooms after all, but she said that she doesn’t have any enemies, so that’s good. I told her that I loved her and missed her and she said, “Thank you.”
Anyway, that was pretty much the extent of it, so really not much news. I will post again when I have the conference call on Thursday the 26th.
3:00 PM – I just got off the phone with the social worker at the neuro psych hospital and she said that Mom is doing well, a little sad at times and thinks that her family dropped her off there because they didn’t want anything to do with her anymore and just wanted her property. Then she asked me who Veronica was. I had to laugh as I explained that I didn’t know who she was, but that there is a Victoria (her grand daughter) and Faye Carol (her sister) that all try to take Mom’s car and wreck it. But other than that, she’s doing well. The social worker (Lynn,) had gone to look at Mom’s charts for a few minutes in between phone calls and she said that Mom was sitting with another lady doing a puzzle and that they were laughing and hugging.
I guess the diagnosis hasn’t been typed up yet, but she said that it sounds like they are going to be saying dementia with behavioral disturbance. They currently have her on Risperdal at 2.5 mg in the morning and .5 mg in the evening. We have a conference call on Thursday at 1:00, so I should know a little more then.
She has a tentative discharge date of April 3rd. She asked if I was looking for placement or if I just wanted to bring her home. I told her that it really depended on recommendations for what type of care she needs. I told her most likely placement because I think she’s going to need care that I just can’t provide, such as 24/7 supervision. With warmer weather coming up, I think it’s not a matter of if, but when she starts wandering. The possibilities of her getting lost or even hit by a car while crossing the street are very real, so I need to take her safety into consideration. She agreed with that wholeheartedly. I also suggested that her being in a setting where she’s around other REAL people to where she has more of a social surrounding might also be really beneficial. I guess I’m just feeling that keeping her here is seeming more selfish to me than having her where she’s going to get the kind of care she really needs. I’ll post more after the conference call Thursday.
She loudly asks someone, “Is that enough light to see where you’re going?” I have no idea who she was talking to, but I clearly heard what she was saying down here. She then says something about her sister not living here. I went ahead and posted it as the 17th, because she is still going on as I write this at 12:04 AM. She’s talking about her Echo at the start and then says that the “Hot Red Camaro may very well be a police officer’s car.” Well, now the silver Echo is Faye Carol’s. Both Victoria and Veronica are now off the hook and her sister is the one trying to destroy her Echo. She’s just really chatty and loud going on about the Echo again. I took a screen capture from an outside camera showing that her Echo is still sitting safely where it has been since the summer of 2018. The name of the Echo thief suddenly changes from Faye to Veronica again. She seems to be having a conversation with the comment, “Yes, it could easily be broken.” Then she’s talking to me: “That’s your squad car, the Hot Red Camaro.” Nope, my job is a spotter truck driver, not an officer. Side note: The current videos are all 5 minutes long. I’m manually recording so it doesn’t miss anything. A bunch of pointing. She’s showing someone something. With this going on, I’m feeling less and less bad about taking her to the psych hospital. It’s obvious she needs help that I can’t give her. She doesn’t say anything until after the 2:20 mark. It’s again about the Camaro being a police officers car and it’s in the form of a conversation. She then goes on about the Echo some more. More of the same. At the end, she tells someone to “Slap her in jail for a while.” The same until the 2:19 mark where she says, “I want my mommy back.” in a weird voice. I’m assuming she’s copying the voice she’s hearing. Some of the comments are pretty strange in this one. At 1:47, she mentions that, “Now I’m dealing with that old man calling me ‘Sandra’.” She then asks, “You put him in a nursing home this time, right? One that actually is locked down.” It then goes back to Veronica/Victoria/Faye, whoever it is.
At 1:20, she tells Veronica/Victoria/Faye that, “We all watched you destroy your own Echo.” (We did?) “I am not her mommy!” (Really loud.) At the 3:00 mark, she tells someone to “Come look for yourself. It looks like Juniors clothes to me.” (Pointing at the closet. She’s forgotten that they are mine, but knows they belong to a male and she hasn’t seen who put them in there. I’m not sure why Dad would put his shirts in the closet here.. lol) She goes on about where her bedroom is and where a male’s clothes are. She seen some male put his clothes in there, but she doesn’t mention that the male is me for some reason. More pointing. It’s 1:00 AM and I’m behind 4 videos (20 minutes) as of right now and I still hear her going on upstairs. It’s almost constant from what it sounds like. I might skip posting a couple videos unless the topic changes just to keep the volume of video posts down a bit. At 1:04, she finally came down to go to the bathroom (I can hear her talking in there as well.) Maybe she’ll go back to bed afterwards. The topic has changed to someone telling her that she’s not supposed to be here anymore. “That’s bullshit.” At 1:48, she says, “It’s after midnight and I’m normally in bed and I’m up because of somebody here.” At 3:00 minutes, she asks really loudly, “Why? Tell me why? I didn’t steal anything that’s in here.”
1:30 AM – She continued on for a bit. As I said, she came down to use the bathroom and I heard her talking in there. When she came out, she stood in the kitchen and talked some more (about how this is her house etc.) She then went upstairs and when she got up to the landing, started talking some more. If I had been trying to sleep, it definitely would have woken me up. Finally, at 1:15, she went back into her bedroom, closed the door and turned off the light. I just checked on the camera and by turning the volume up really really loud, I was able to hear that she’s still talking. At that time it was about how she bought the house a long time ago and that she didn’t mind someone staying here.. I will stay up for a little while longer and keep tabs on her to see if she goes back to sleep.
She got up this morning to go to the bathroom. It seems like she was giving someone a tour again. She stood on the landing outside the door talking a bit. I’m really surprised she didn’t wake me up right there. On her way back to bed, giving someone a tour again, or still. Talking about her car, of course. It’s ramping up already this morning where she’s loud enough for me to hear her downstairs again. A thumbs up and a “Good.” A few moments later, “Faye Carol does not live around here. It’s closer to Columbia City.” She remembers where her sister lives it seems. I didn’t hear her downstairs on this one, but it starts off talking about her Jesus figurine and then goes on to talk about the entertainment center. She starts off talking about some crochet stuff sitting next to her (some granny squares that have not been assembled.) Long pause, then she’s talking about Veronica and her Echo and then it goes on to me not letting her drive and her driver’s license no longer being valid (I don’t know if it is or not.) No idea who she’s talking about, then she mentions getting something from a lawyer to “take me with you.” Nods, thumbs up. It’s a conversation. She doesn’t have the Camaro, she has the Golden Echo. I think she’s talking about the pythons again. Someone had something that shot fire out and burned it and it took off. Definitely something to watch out for. Back to her sister not living here.
10:30 AM – After this video, I went upstairs to get her going with her shower and get her packed. I was up front about where she was going and why. I told her that they were going to help determine if she has Alzheimer’s or not. She said she thinks not, but I told her they would figure it out and how best to help her. Ashley ,in referrals for this hospital, told me that with Dementia patients, it could be 2 weeks or maybe even longer, so I let Mom now that she might be up there for a few weeks, but everything would be provided except for the clothes, sorta like a hotel stay. She’s not showing any signs of fear or nervousness at this point…. it’s just me going through that… lol. Anyway, I was told that our arrival time should be between 1:00 and 1:30 PM, so we’ll head out at about 12:45. She hasn’t had her breakfast yet, so I’ll go ahead and get her going with that since I don’t know when her next meal up there will be, most likely supper. Wish us luck and hope that Mom does okay up there. 🙂
Shannon signing off until updates are received from the hospital.
OK, I lied. Here’s another video. This one she mentions that her Jacket is not for sale. (Who in the heck is trying to sell her stuff?) Anyway, I was in the bathroom at the time this was going on and towards the end, Mom says: “I can’t talk anymore because Shannon’s going to come out and think I’m hallucinating, which is what I’m going to the doctor for.” So she understands what’s going on and remembers bits of it. She continued on, but apparently wasn’t moving enough to trigger the motion detection on the camera, so it hasn’t recorded her continuing her conversations. I wanted to post this so that the Doctors could see that it’s going on at any time of the day, even right up to it being almost time to leave for the Neuro Psych Hospital.
3:23 PM – Well, Mom went in without any problems. The nurse that came out to take Mom back into her room was really nice (everyone there was) and Mom took to her right away. She even grabbed the nurses arm to be escorted back. No bye or anything, just followed her back. I was checking her in and chatting with the receptionist for over an hour, lots of paperwork to sign. I told them that I likely wouldn’t call until I heard from them so that it wouldn’t disturb her getting used to the place. I guess there will be a conference call between several of the doctors there and myself to discuss initial findings and plans going forward in a few days, so I’ll post info here when that happens. Eventually, the nurse that took Mom back came out and let me know that Mom had told her that she hears voices, none of them dangerous sounding, but at least she admitted it so they have an idea of where to start. I wasn’t asked for the link to the blog, but will bring it up during the conference call when that happens. I think they really should see it, unless it goes on there for them. We shall see, but until then, I’m signing off for now and going to make some spaghetti!
9:30 AM – Mom slept through the night and just a bit ago, she motioned for me to come upstairs where she told me where she slept and where my clothes were and mentioned that I sleep on the couch downstairs. I agreed and told her that once she moves into a nursing home, I will end up putting my waterbed back upstairs. The nursing home triggered a long discussion about her thinking she doesn’t need to be in a nursing home. She accused me of stealing her house so I could put her in a nursing home. I reminded her that it’s not stealing since she willingly signed it over as was planned when we moved into the house together back in 2007 and that I am paying it off once I deposit the check and it clears. She asked with an attitude: “Well how are you going to get me out of here?” I told her, “If you won’t go willingly, then by ambulance if I have to.” Anyway, I have video of this exchange, but I’m not going to post it because to hear her, you’ll have to turn your volume up and when I talk, it would blow your speakers since I have to speak up loud enough for her to hear me… lol.
I’ve been in touch with our lawyer this morning and she advised me that paying off the house isn’t going to cause any problems. I let her know what’s going on with Mom and asked if she would want to do the Medicaid application or if I should do it through the nursing home. She suggested the nursing home, since it wouldn’t cost extra (that made me chuckle) but that she would step in to help if we had any problems. I am now going to email the Admissions Director for Miller’s Merry Manor here in town to let her know what’s going on and see if she feels like we can try the non-locked facility they have or if I should get in touch with Warsaw since they have a locked facility. I’ll keep you posted on developments and probably videos since I imagine this is going to trigger a few.
11:55 AM – She started talking in the kitchen, something about the Echo it sounded like, but unfortunately, she wasn’t moving at the time so it didn’t trigger the motion sensor on the camera and it wasn’t recorded. It was loud enough that it would have woken me up if I were sleeping. Then, just a minute ago, she came out here and asked if I was still working or if I was going home. Being confused, I asked her what she was talking about and she said that her Echo was sitting out there and needed updating. Yeah, I don’t know either.. lol. It seemed like she didn’t realize that either one of us lived here and she thought we were selling the house or something. It was a pretty confusing exchange.
1:00 PM – She’s all set to go to the psych hospital for her evaluation as soon as a bed opens up. They are expecting one to open by tomorrow. This will be at their Bremen hospital. I think it’s for 7 days, but I’m not entirely sure. They had beds open in other places, but they were geared more towards younger people it seems, so I told them that I’d wait it out since she might be more comfortable with older people. I’m really nervous about this and am already feeling like the world’s worst son for having to do it, but I also realize that I just can’t go on with it and am trying to be strong.
Out of the blue, she started talking again. It seems like she was trying to tell me how to get to my clothes that were upstairs and at the end, someone is apparently yelling. She’s getting loud enough for me to hear her downstairs again. This is where I’m hearing her downstairs. She goes on about the Echo again. It seems Victoria is off the hook now and it’s Veronica that’s trying to take it. She doesn’t say anything after “My Echo stays in my area.” “All you have to do is go downstairs and talk to somebody in the know. Why I’m here and why you’re here.” She doesn’t say anything after that, but gets up and goes into her room. I heard a thump, but I’m not sure if it was upstairs in her bedroom or outside and it wasn’t recorded. It seems quiet again at the moment. The quiet didn’t last long. The beginning of this is cut off since she wasn’t moving at the time, but I’m assuming she’s talking about someone taking the car keys out of her purse. If that’s the case, she has forgotten that she handed them to be Summer of 2018. She then goes on about Veronica’s car being silver and hers being golden. I don’t know if someone has an issue with her shoes or what, but it starts at about the 35 second mark. She was quiet from the last video to this one with the exception of a brief comment out in the kitchen (I couldn’t hear what she said and haven’t checked the footage yet.) I gave her a pill at 4:30 and you can see she’s pretty relaxed, but just after the 2:20 mark, she says, “He won’t let me drive…” etc. I don’t know who she’s talking to.
10:25 PM – The video above is the last one captured where she says anything. She eventually gets up, goes downstairs to use the bathroom and goes into her room at 9:08 PM. I just checked the camera and her bedroom light is off, so she is in bed now.
This is the comment that I mentioned on the last video. She says something about the water pump providing water for the whole compound. I believe she’s talking about the house at Big Lake. She doesn’t say anything after that for the rest of the clip.
2:15 PM – I got woken up early….. again! She was in the kitchen getting some soup ready and started up with the “This is my house. I bought it when the kids were little….” She was just off camera so it didn’t trigger a recording. I guess I’ll start going through the day’s videos.
The first one of the day is at 4:02 AM. Some stands at the door to come into the room for a moment and starts going on about how we’re about to lose the house. After she sits down, she says that I’m not her son and we’re about to lose the house because I didn’t do what I was supposed to. In reality, she’s paid ahead about 8 months or so and I’ve made a payment every month without fail since I started taking care of her bank account in the summer of 2018. She thinks we’ve gotten notice that we’re going to lose this house and it’s going to take everything in her savings to save us. She thinks I’ve been gambling it away. In reality, NOTHING is overdue, no notices of cancellation on anything and I still don’t even play scratch-offs, let alone do any other kind of gambling. She continued on like this until she got up and went back to bed at 4:48 AM. At the 1:20 mark, she tells someone “bye bye. If you don’t know the answers to that, you don’t need to be here.” At 3:15 she waves bye bye.
Again with the “if you’re going to keep asking those questions, you don’t need to be here,” stuff, but in the middle of it, she mentions that Victoria is not going to get her Echo because that would be grand theft.
We got a door slam! Somehow I managed to sleep through that. I guess I must have been really tired. At the 1:30 mark, she shouts for someone to “Get out of here! If you don’t know the answers to those questions you don’t need to be here!” The fun continues. While there isn’t any more door slamming, it’s basically the same stuff going on between the last video and this one. The question is apparently about if the Echo is for sale. This time it’s Veronica instead of Victoria. In this video, the subjects change so fast you may end up with whiplash, so be sure to secure your head! The house, the Echo, her sister… once sentence to the next seems to be a different topic. The subject shifts to this house not being for sale and Jerry Feester is trying to sell it now. This starts after the 1:30 mark.
4:25 PM – OK, I’m caught up on the clips so far. She has been quiet, at least upstairs, since the last video, except where she woke me up talking in the kitchen. There was a bunch of finger pointing for a while and she when downstairs 3 times, but she hasn’t said anything in any of the clips. As a side note: I found a plug at Amazon that is supposed to connect to wifi where I should be able to control from anywhere from my phone. I’m going to order that and plug her TV into it so I can turn it off when she leaves it on. Here’s a link if you’re curious: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08331YTDD/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ASTOKKCI5ZBKL&psc=1
She’s going on about her Echo, it is now Veronica and she wrecked it and broke every law that a policeman stands for and she needs to pay for it because it’s worth more than what she paid for it. She continues on and she’s getting mad and loud enough for me to hear downstairs. I have a bunch more after this, but it’s the same topic.
6:35 PM – At this point, I’m throwing in the towel. I called Goshen Hospital to make sure the proper procedure for getting her evaluated and into a nursing home would be by taking her to the ER. They confirmed that it was, so I told Mom that we have an appointment at the Hospital at about 7:00 PM, so she heated up some leftovers and is eating that and we are heading up there. I’ve got the power of attorney paperwork with me and will use that if I need to. With being woken up way too early this week, the slamming door and now her going on about Veronica stealing her car and wrecking it, I just can’t deal with it anymore. Wish me luck!
9:00 PM – The Dr. at the hospital suggested trying a medicine called Risperdal ( https://www.drugs.com/risperdal.html ). He said he had the same experience with his Dad, who was a Marine and was pretty much a real asshat from the sound of it. He said that one day he was pushing him in a wheel chair and his Dad said, “Look at the pretty flowers.” It was a complete 180 degrees. Based on what I told him was going on tonight, he thought she would be a perfect candidate for that. He had also called Oaklawn, which does the evaluations at the hospital, and they agreed with the Dr. So, she got one at the hospital and sent a prescription to CVS for me to pick up tomorrow. They also gave me a number to call tomorrow for “Dr’s Neuro Psych Hospital” to follow up with. They have a website at https://www.neuropsychiatrichospitals.net/ if you’re interested in finding out what it’s about. So, we’ll find out more tomorrow where to go from here. I have officially reached the end of my rope, so either drastic changes are going to have to be made through medicine, or she’s going to be moved into a long-term care facility. The process has now been started, we just have to wait to see where that process goes.
“I’m not going to have dead people telling me what I can and can’t do. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, then you’ve gotta go.” She doesn’t say anything else after that, but waves bye and does a hand across her throat and looks irritated after that.
1:55 PM – I got woken up by Mom messing with a coat rack in the other room. It has a bell on it, so every time she would move it, it would ring. It’s like she tries to keep me awake during the day. I tried to tell her that I wouldn’t be grouchy if she’d let me sleep and she decided that I was calling her grouchy, so she shouted that “this is my house.” I can’t wait for peace and quiet. Anyway, she left the TV on since last night, so I’m not going through 300 clips today. I’ve got to work tonight and then I’m off for the next 3 nights, so sometime during those next 3 days, I’ll try to see if I can set up the sleep timer on her TV so that it turns off after an hour any time she turns the TV on. I don’t know if there’s a permanent sleep timer setting like that or not, but I’ll look into it.
4:30 PM – The dumb stuff is starting to get to me. I got up at about 3 to use the bathroom and she had the coffee pod maker out, basically an iron that seals paper single coffee filters, and was attempting to fix a hole in an old pair of jeans with it. No patch or anything, just the iron. This doesn’t even get as hot as an actual iron. A bit ago, I discovered that she had opened a can of coffee that I picked up this morning, even though the one that was in the fridge was still about 3/4 of a can. Then I found out she had used paper towels to make some pods. They wouldn’t have even fit in the coffee maker, but she made a bunch of them. Right after that, she had a note on the counter about a broken closet door upstairs. I went up to investigate and noticed a rough spot on the carpet under her bedroom door. She has apparently been spraying hair spray under the crack of her bedroom door for some time now. Hopefully that will come out with the carpet cleaner without any problem. This is just what I noticed since getting up. I swear, she’s gonna drive me as crazy as her! Anyway, I’m not going to bother going through videos for today. I’m just going to take a little me time and play a game before I have to get ready for work.
1:45 AM – It appears that Mom woke up at about 12:20 AM and I just happened to be checking the cameras to make sure everything was okay. She was going on about how she thought that I wanted her dead so I could collect life insurance (which I don’t even know if she has any,) and how Troy doesn’t know what’s going on because he hasn’t come around for a long time. The story also changed to me telling everyone that she was dead and she would ask her invisible friends if she looked dead. The story changed back and forth several times. There was a lot more, then finally she went back into her room at 1:24. It looks like there was quite a bit of footage captured, although a lot of this happened in the living room, which isn’t set up to record anything, so there was a lot missed there. I will go through the footage when I get home from work this morning and post some clips. It seems things may be ramping up again after all. We shall see.
8:50 AM – I just finished going through footage up until midnight and I’m ready for bed, so I will go through what I can when I wake up. She did come down this morning and stopped and looked at me and said, “I’m not your enemy.” I asked her why she said that and she said that I had a pissed off look on my face. I do?? I have a toothache, but I’m not pissed off. *shrugs*
This is really weird, but after she comes into the room and is just standing in front of the camera is where I decided to check the cameras. It’s also where she starts with all the talking that lasted for an hour. She starts showing someone around and telling them about the place. At the beginning of this clip, she’s spreading her hands out. I believe she’s mimicking her Jesus statue she has on her entertainment center. I’m not sure what she’s talking about at the beginning, but at the end, she’s asking, “Why does he want me dead?” This continued to be the topic for the rest of the hour. She’s talking pretty much this whole clip, so I’m not going to try to type everything else out. She turns on the TV at the beginning of this and ends up leaving it on all night, producing hundreds of clips with nothing but the TV flickering. This is where Troy’s name is first mentioned. She’s got some pretty off-the-wall stuff going on in her head here. She hasn’t seen Troy for a long time. She thinks I want her dead so I can collect insurance money and so on. She gets up and goes downstairs where she continues on with the being dead theme. I got a little bit of it on the kitchen camera, but most of it was at the bottom of the stairs, which as I said, is not set up to record. I’ve only got the living room camera set up so that I can check to make sure she’s not laying at the bottom of the steps while I’m at work. The camera shows her going into her bedroom and closing the door at 1:24. She doesn’t say anything at this point, just points towards the small bookcase the sits behind her chair, then walks into her room.
4:10 PM – Due to a limited amount of time and all of the upstairs clips to scan through yet, I’m not going to mess with going through the kitchen cam to see what that picked up. If I run into anything else from the upstairs cam, I’ll post those below. I did have a co-worker ask me if maybe she’s really talking to spirits last night. I told her that the problem with that is that with all the footage that I’ve captured, I haven’t heard any voices that shouldn’t be there or captured anything odd on camera. As hard of hearing as she is, a ghost would have to speak awfully loud for her to hear it and you’d think that would be heard on the video as well, if you believe the ghost hunter type TV shows and their claims of capturing EVPs.. lol.
She got up at 3:20 AM and went downstairs. I don’t know what she was doing for that hour and 10 minutes though. I checked the kitchen cam, but there were no recordings for that time period. She does say something about her toothbrush in this clip, which I found this morning in a ziplock bag along with the toothpaste on the kitchen table. She walks into the room and I can hear that she’s talking, but can’t hear what she’s saying. “I can’t believe you’re stupid enough to throw my toothpaste away.” Yeah, the same toothpaste that SHE put in a ziplock, I was stupid enough to throw away.. lol. The clips I have for this time period was all about the toothbrush and toothpaste. She gets up and goes back to bed. This is all I have for the day today. She mentions that she was told she could stay as long as she wanted to. Not sure who told her that since she never mentions who told her anything.
5:04 PM – That’s all I have for today. Out of 193 clips for the upstairs cam, there was just a handful where she was actually in them. The rest of them were from her leaving the TV on. I’ll have to see if there’s an auto timer setting on the TV or something so I’m not getting so many clips when she forgets to turn the TV off.
It seems someone doesn’t think she should have scissors in this clip. She’s chatty for several clips before this one, and the topic is her yarn, crocheting and not being allowed to have scissors. This one she seemed to get a little more irritated with whoever she was talking to. She initially starts off in her bedroom talking and pointing at someone, although I couldn’t make out much of what she was saying. She then comes back into the room and then imitates the voice she hears, “Sandra, you don’t belong here anymore.”
Well, it’s Friday the 13th at 9:25 AM and I made it up to about 8:08 PM on the clips and I’m too bushed to keep going through them. She did end up going on to the topic of Warren and actually seemed to be having a conversation with his spirit (or whatever her mind perceives it to be.) She would tell him to accept the fact that he is dead and that she did everything she could do to save him. That went on for a while and the clip that I ended on, she was going on about Victoria/Veronica again. But, we’ll leave those and if I get up early enough, I’ll start on the Friday clips.
10:45 AM – Mom has woken me up a couple of times by opening and closing the side door to check on her Echo. After the last time, I went out to the kitchen to see that she was putting her coat on. I asked her where she was going and she said, “I’m showing that it’s my Echo and my house.” I told her that no one is taking her Echo, so stop with the obsession already. I got the “I’m not gonna argue.” crap, so just gave up. She took her coat back off and went upstairs.
Well, I just got woken up by her talking in the kitchen. It starts at about the 2:25 mark where she gives a thumbs up. Then there’s a wave and she suddenly stops rocking. She then starts going on about the house.
4:24 PM – I just finished going through upstairs footage and noticed she did a lot of hand gestures (mainly finger pointing) and there was a brief comment where she said, “I’m not chasing anyone out of here, but I don’t want to be threatened anymore.” There has been no threats, so I don’t know what she’s referring to. I didn’t upload the video since it was a 5 minute one and this was at the end. I’m going through the kitchen cam footage now to see if there’s anything else that I did manage to sleep through.
At the 1:20 mark, she opens the side door to check on her Echo, takes the recycling out and checks to make sure it’s still there again. This is one of the times I was woke up by the door opening. As you can see by the time stamp, it’s only been a few minutes since she last check and she decides to check again.
4:54 PM – After reviewing the kitchen cam footage, at 1:57 PM, she says, “You could be arrested. That was a police officer that you hurt.” There was nothing else until the video that I posted at the top of the page.
This is a continuation of the top video. At about 1:30, she goes on about giving birth to us when I walk into the kitchen. I’m not happy about being woken up and said, “And shut it.” as I was heading to the bathroom. She didn’t say anything after that and went upstairs shortly after. “Faye does not live here. This is my house. I don’t dabble in spirits.” I don’t know why she would bring up Faye, her sister is the only Faye I know. She confirms it’s her sister she’s talking about in a later clip. She hasn’t seen her for years. She’s pretty chatty in this clip. There was nothing before this for quite some time. She wants someone to stop it and even says a prayer asking what she did to deserve this since evidently the spirits won’t leave her alone.
There were a couple more clips where she’s still talking about Faye and the spirits. She then gets up and goes downstairs. She gets back upstairs and goes down and repeats that 2 more times. She finally sits on her bed and talks for a bit, but I couldn’t hear what she was saying, so didn’t include that. That’s it until after midnight.
7:00 PM – I just finished going through today’s videos and there wasn’t any talking captured in any of them. Other than the normal up and down the stairs all day, the only other thing to report is that she decided to use my 10″ ceramic coated induction skillet to heat up some hot dogs… using a metal fork. I just happened to go out in the kitchen after she went upstairs and found them on the stove… heat still on. I threw them out, cleaned the pan and put it away. When she came back down later, she didn’t notice they were gone. The last time I know of that she did anything like that was several years ago and she ruined the skillet. I’m glad I caught it today when I did since that wasn’t a cheap one ($30.00 at Amazon.)
I think she may have had someone singing to her (probably that guy with the beautiful voice she’s talked about before.) She sat up there and did that for a half hour, went down to the bathroom, went back upstairs (doing the hand waving as she walked by) and sat down and did it for another 10 minutes. She then went into her bedroom and then came back out where I heard her talking from down here. Unfortunately, she wasn’t moving, so it didn’t trigger the motion sensor. Listening live, she does mention the beautiful voice, but also is going on about the Echo (shocking, I know.) She finally went back into her bedroom at 12:10 AM.
