DD came home for the weekend, she did pretty good. But she knows she is coming home for Thanksgiving and
was making me recite the day and hour I was getting her. She says she hates it there but I think she does
like the people. I'm sure its hard on her, a whole different life. She kept saying how important it was for me
to get her Wednesday afternoon I couldn't figure out why. Finally she admitted that was her night to wash
dishes and she wouldn't have to, how funny. And yes they also have a dishwasher.
Now MIL is another story, she is unhappy there and making herself more unhappy all the time. Nice people,
beautiful setting, good food, angry lady. I hope she does better then she acts when I am there. We are
surprised that her sister is doing very well at the other assisted living facility and seems quite happy. We
expected the opposite. Oh the sisters that were joined at the hip, something happened, we don't know what
and don't think they do either refused to live in the same facility. That's good actually as they wouldn't have
made it in one together. Now MIL is wanting to move to the other, the son doesn't want her to and we
don't think that would be wise either. I think she smothered her sister. But then she also thinks her sister
is living in her trailer out at the house. Dementia is a horrible disease.
As Tom says I did all I could to reduce the stress, I only go over about once a week. When he gets home she
can be mad at him instead of me, so that will help too. I know one day if I live long enough I will be in assisted
living too and I hope even with issues I can manage to be grateful and enjoy whatever circumstances I'm in.
I'm just looking forward to Tom being home. I know he would have liked to work longer, I hope they don't
hire him back for any projects, of course after a year home I might be begging them too. LOL!
All of you have a great day, I certainly intend to.
