EEEK! When I moved the basement lazy boy to vacuum today, I discovered stuffing (perfect nesting material) and mouse droppings. Laid a super-sonic sticky surface in the corner, vacuumed the area and ran for my life!
Today was PT (I stayed in the front lobby in trying to segue mom to independence). She is now down to 2 rehab appts next week...dad will be happy about that. Mom is doing very well with the sticks, but still favors the walker in the house. She seems to be comfortable going up and down the stairs and is doing so a couple times a day...she moved like a gazelle to check out the mouse turds! One thing I noticed about the stairs is that they are not to code. They have a very short
depth, none of our feet fit on them. This is a bit dangerous.
Today we also hit up Food City for refills. She was pretty independent getting out of the car, walking in, and getting to her electronic go-cart (she tends to take the entire aisle, and hugs the corners tight...it is thrilling to watch. Figure the store has insurance). I feel she's good to go on wednesday to shop with dad.
It has rained a TON since being here...literally no oppty to do anything outside.
Think we're going to order a pizza for free delivery tomorrow before I leave. If they like it, they have a local source for delivery on a future date night!
A couple things I learned since being here: Food City freeze-dried instant coffee isn't 'that' bad...and if I don't see another CSI, Castle, Person of Interest, or any other investigative show, it will be a-ok with me!
24-hours and my shift will be over, they will be on their own. Not really sure how ready dad is for this, but such is life.
Signing off!

P.S Norah, prob won't call that service from here...mom is super keyed in to what I'm doing, but will find that number to call from home.
YIKES -- I sat in THAT downstairs lazy boy for 3 hrs waiting for 3 loads to wash & dry! I heard their pitter/patter in the ceiling, but never ever thought they were in the chair, but now that I think of it.....that chair had absolutely NO stuffing in it. When I sat in it, I sank. Maybe the stuffing on the floor was my forcing it on the floor.
