07:00 AM: I’m up.
08:00 AM: Posted the Tom’s Views –> Why I Will Vote In 2010 piece.
09:00 AM: Vacuumed the downstairs carpets.
10:30 AM: Sister Mary Ann arrived to further clean up this place.
11:00 AM: Then, sister Jojo came as well, and the two of them picked up where I left off on the house cleaning.
12:00 PM: Leaving with sister Mary Ann on a little shopping trip to browse in Gabriel Brothers store for an hour or so until Mom gets here. We’ll be back here before she arrives.
01:00 PM: We’re back home, and so is Mom. She got here just minutes before us. In fact, we saw her coming while still in Altoona, and followed her van the whole way here. Two physical therapists accompanied her and are going to show us how to help Mom with her transfers from bed to chair, chair to bathroom, chair to easy chair, and so on.
02:30 PM: The therapists and Mom have left here, heading back to the nursing facility.
03:30 PM: Sisters Mary Ann, Jojo, and I sat in the living room, discussing all that we observed today. We feel that we need more information in order to feel completely comfortable about bringing Mom home again. So I called her PCP’s office and left several questions with her doctor. Hopefully, he’ll call me back soon with those answers.
03:45 PM: Sister Mary Ann then drove me to The Meadows for an ice cream cone. I got just a plain vanilla cone. But nonetheless, it tasted exquisite to me. Yum!
04:00 PM: I’m back home again. I said good bye to sister Mary Ann, who had to leave for her home, to help her kids get ready for a Halloween party tonight.
05:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
07:30 PM: Watched yesterday’s and today’s episodes of Dr. Phil on the DVR.
09:45 PM: The Penguins just lost to the Flyers, 3 to 2.
11:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of CNN’s AC 360, that featured Dr. Phil, giving his thoughts on that Arkansas school board vice president’s apology for his Facebook rant directed against gays. I must agree with Dr. Phil on this one. The apology offered by no means rang sincere. In fact, this guy’s original rant was more heartfelt than his apology for it. Where do people get all this hatred?
11:15 PM: Heading to bed. Good night, and there’ll be more posted here tomorrow.
