Ruth in/Wedad out

Wedad informed me of what has been happening here at the house. She called me before I got to work to ask me to bring some Tums for Bill, b/c he was completely out. I got the largest size Walgreens' had, should last him for a couple of weeks.
House was quiet, nothing on the schedule for this week.
I happened to stop by a Pier One in Mesa over the weekend and found the small asian bowls that Jean had been searching for. I bought the last three that they had and gave them to her. She was quite happy with my find and we set them on the table. I love the little balls that Jennifer and Jean found at Kirklands', they are tres cute.
I asked Bill and Jean what they would like to have for lunch. Jean requested the tuna salad that Wedad had made Monday. We were out of grapes and rasberries, so I made due with the strawberries and peaches on hand. Rest of the afternoon was quiet.
Dinner- chicken and red bean gumbo. Bill did his Tuesday night routine and said "I am not in the mood for a big meal tonight can I have some cereal." This is the 4th Tuesday in a row he has asked for cereal instead of what I cook. He ate his cereal and then went back to his room. Jean sat at the table for awhile reading catalogs and a Marie Claire magazine.
After dinner, I gave Jean a shower. Applied lotion to her body and put neosporin on the burn marks she received from Dr. Lesueuer. She said they were becoming quite itchy, and she knew she shouldn't scratch at them. Helped into her nightie. Fresh water and bedtime pills for both. Lights out at 10:30pm
The new monitors from Target are no good. The one downstairs was crackiling and beeping for a good portion of the evening. I moved it to the table near the stairs. Still crackiling but not as badly. I turned the volume full blast so I could hear if they called during the night. Jean was talking in her sleep about Nidal and having her teeth done in Hawaii.
