They are moving mom into the Alzheimer unit today. This is a secure unit and mom will get a much higher level of care. Mom has been wandering the halls of the assisted living center all hours of the night and walking into rooms of the other residents. Mom has been caught trying all the door knobs in the place. There is a fear that mom may go out side and not be able to get back in, and with temps well below freezing this would be a bad thing. We had mom over for our Christmas eve dinner with the kids, grand kids and great grand kids. When I picked mom up Christmas morning she did not remember any of it. The center is moving her so mom will not connect the move with me. I'll take her clean laundry to her tomorrow and see how she is doing.

I spent a good part of yesterday keeping a friend company while he was in the emergency room. Seems he was having symptoms similar to too when a blocked artery. Intense pain in his back running across the shoulder and down his left arm, and numbness in his fingers. The hospital released him yesterday evening and has scheduled a stress test this morning. Just waiting to hear the results.

The bride is in California, her girlfriend and her spent the weekend at Disneyland and this morning they will board a cruise ship for a 5 day cruise. I am sure they are having a great time.

It is cold and raining this morning so the dogs and I are enjoying a cup of coffee in front of the fire. It is just nice and I do enjoy this time in my life.
