9:10 AM – Mom came downstairs talking to herself. I asked her who she was talking to and she replied, “I’m talking to Veronica.” I reminded her that it was just to two of us here and she got all defensive and was saying things like, “You’re calling me a liar. She’s right upstairs.” I told her to walk upstairs with me and prove that she was here. We got up there and she looked around and said, “Huh, she took off.” I asked her, “We were standing at the bottom of the stairs. There’s only one way downstairs. How did she get by us without us seeing her?” Then she went on about calling her a liar and that this is her house. An argument ensued and I finally just told her that if she wants to talk to people that aren’t there, have at it. I don’t fucking care at this point. Just leave me the fuck alone. (Sorry, she really got under my skin with this crap this morning.) I might just have to start approaching it differently. Instead of saying it’s only us here, just say something like, “Oh. How is she doing today?” Just play into it. Maybe I’ll start carrying on a conversation with her invisible people, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:45 AM – I heard Mom upstairs talking and as I walked up to listen in, I heard “Shannon was caught taking money out of my purse.” What the hell? This is getting out of hand. I walked in and said “I do not take money out of your purse.” She replied that she never said anything like that. *Jaw Drop* Anyway, it seems like I might not get any sleep today. I got her to come down and take her meds and try to get her to eat something. I just heard her out in the kitchen say, “Talk to him about it.” It was loud enough that if it continues like this throughout the day, it’s going to keep waking me up and I’m already very tired because I didn’t sleep well yesterday. Thanks, Mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2:15 PM – *Yawn* I got woke up to Mom sitting out in the kitchen having a conversation with invisible people again. It sounds like she thinks she’s talking to me at some points, then who knows who at others. She said something about Dad apologizing to her for leaving her for Jerilyn. She thinks I tried to kill her and if someone hadn’t checked on her, she’d be dead by now “and you know it!” (She apparently wasn’t talking to me at this time, but it was right after the comment about Dad leaving her for Jerilyn, so it’s all over the place.) Just some out there stuff that’s going through her head. I guess I’m going to have to make an appointment with the doctor and show her the videos and see what she says (the doc). Here’s a funny one: “If it hadn’t been for Sandy’s friend Jerry, I’d be dead by now.” A minute after that, she asked “Where did all those pythons come from?” So, still a fixation on pythons. Anyway, that’s what’s going on right now. I’d capture some video, but I need to try to get some sleep or it’s going to be a rough night at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4:30 PM – I give up trying to sleep. She’s been up and down the stairs several times and is in the kitchen having a conversation again. Maybe it’ll be slow enough at work that I can get a nap in the truck for a bit. I’m still pretty sure this is brought on by a lack of sleep. She just look and acts as tired as I am, but she won’t lay down and sleep for some reason. I went out to the kitchen to fix a cup of coffee and as soon as she seen me, she stopped talking. She then got up and walked out to the living room. I was cleaning up and getting ready to walk back out to the living room and heard her say, “Someone is sweeping unnecessarily.” I was walking by the vacuum at the time and pulled it out and showed her that it was not running. She asked me, “You don’t feel that vibration?” I told her no and continued on to the living room. Now she’s in the kitchen talking to herself again. I guess at least no one is getting murdered this time. There’s that. Oh, and a little girl isn’t dropping off her hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5:05 PM – Mom is standing at the top of the stairs and she said, “You hear that? Jerry, I don’t want you to die. I count on your friendship.” “He’s my oldest boy, but if he’s hurt somebody, then he’s in the wrong.” I hurt someone? News to me! “He’s got to be stopped. He’s coming up to kill me. That’s what the person said down there.” What the hell is she talking about? OMG. Lunatic! By the way, I was sitting down here reading reviews on a security camera at amazon. I’ve got one on all three doors outside, but having a connection problem sometimes. I wanted something to capture if she walked outside and left the property. They work great for that, but sometimes connecting to them for a live view or to play back video can take quite a few attempts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
