Tonight mom was ranting "I need a cigarette." Over and over, while digging through her purse, which is definitely out of the ordinary.

She was wearing the wrong glasses again, which is not.

I told her she doesn't smoke, and she got furious with me.  "When I'm horny i do. When i haven't seen my husband in weeks I do."

She proceeded to tell me Missy smokes.  When I told her that she doesn't she got angrier and said "Oh yes, she does. They caught her out in front off the cabins!"

She also talked about a McMichaels bus accident, and all kinds of interesting stories.

Just another day...

Let's see... yesterday the power was out when I got to Mom's.  Luckily they had enough generator power to run the hallway lights, a few receptacles inside the main living area, and the elevators.  Everyone seemed to be in good spirits, including Mom... but visibly she is looking deteriorated the past few days.  She is very, very talkative...usually crisp and clear speech, with totally made up content....but I have been noticing that her eyes seem more sunken in, and she just looks much, much older.

Tonight she went on and on about her tryouts for this speech competition that she was finally asked to participate in.  She also told me her car was running great, and she was so relieved not to have to drive the old clunker anymore.

I brought her tv home with me today and hope to take it to the regional service center tomorrow.
