Log
10:00 AM: I’m up.
12:30 PM: [Emmy] is listening to this afternoon’s Penguins hockey game against the Calgary Flames. I’ll probably duck in here and there to see who’s winning.
01:00 PM: Mom finished scrubbing the kitchen floor with ammonia and water, and I then helped her into her easy chair.
01:15 PM: Posted the Weekly Backups: 2010-11-27 piece.
04:00 PM: Sister Jojo came to help Mom get a shower. I washed the sheets on Mom’s bed.
05:00 PM: Good friend Debbie came by to check in with Mom and see how she’s doing.
06:00 PM: A cousin and her husband stopped by as well for a holiday visit and to gab a bit with Mom.
08:45 PM: Watched the The Space Croppers episode of Lost in Space on the DVD player. We wanted to see this one because it starred actress Mercedes McCambridge. She often appeared in the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre episodes in the seventies, and [Emmy] is fond of this series and very familiar with McCambridge’s voice there. So she was curious about how she’d act on Lost in Space.
09:30 PM: Watched the 2010-10-05 episode of Larry King Live on CNN, from the DVR, that focused on bullying and featured some well-known LGBT actors and performers and their stories of “coming out.”
10:50 PM: Watched the 2010-11-23 episode of Dr. Phil on the DVR, called Raising a Bully?
11:00 PM: Washed and put away two loads of laundry; today is bed-changing day for Mom.
11:10 PM: Dispensed Mom’s nigh meds and helped her to bed.
11:15 PM: I’m going to bed now myself. Good night.
05:00 AM: Helped Mom to the bathroom and then back to bed.
