Sept. 17,18,19,20

Wedad out/Ruth in- Wedad let me know what was happening here at the house. John here at 2pm to work with Jean. I asked if he had any questions for the neurologist. He told me about 2 primary concerns he had with the tightening of Jean's left side. I wrote them down and emailed Joan to ask if she had any additional questions and to let her know that it would be Jennifer taking Jean to the appointment. Afternoon was quiet, cooked dinner and both had ice cream for dessert. Lights out by 10pm, Murder She Wrote is comes on at 9pm and Bill has been staying up to watch it. Saw 5 monster raccoons on the patio- they were swimming in the pool and then came up to the patio door and hung out for awhile. They looked like a family of raccoons, I don;t know much about them, but there was a huge leader and then smaller ones. They don;t seem to be very afraid of humans. I took a lot of pictures of them with my phone and they hung out for the photo session for some time.

Sept. 19- Rough night, Jean was talking all night, in loud, animated voices. Bill and I didn;t sleep at all. Jean was up by 5am thinking she had to get ready to go to the doctor. I told her the appointment wasn;t until 10:30am and she didn't have to get ready yet. Breakfast by 8am. 9am started getting Jean ready to go. 10am Jennifer here to take Jean. Jay showed up and I told him about the raccoons, he told me he has noticed rat droppings too. So I need to call Fleming's pest control next week and ask for rat bait to spread around.
Jennifer and Jean back by 2- Jean wanted to stop at Dillard's to buy some make up and came home with a watch too. Skip and Joan called while they were gone to tell me that Joan would be stopping by to have some documents signed. I called Joan when Jean came home and she said she would be over shortly. Safeway was here to deliver groceries, mostly thorough order. I forgot some staples, I put them on the list for next week. There is this fascinating series on the History channel about underground cities, we watched it for some time, Jean really enjoyed it, so can someone find out when it usually comes on, so we can watch it again?
I made potato salad and Bill and Jean had that for dinner. Jean was reading catalogs in the kitchen, deciding on x-mas gifts for the family when Cookie called. She asked if we could have lunch on Wed. with her and Cis. Arcadia Farms at 1:30pm-
Night was noisy again.
Sept 19- Breakfast- got Bill and Jean ready for lunch at 12pm- Met Cookie and Cis for lunch we stayed till they closed. After lunch- 4pm Jean wanted to stop at Nordstroms- Bill sat on the bench near the men's shoe dept., Jean bought a silver chain necklace- she says she might want to return. Receipts in fishbowl. Came home-
Thursday- cleaned house, trash, laundry, kitchen, floors swept and mopped. I thought John was coming at 11:15- showered Jean, hair and make-up. At 11:30am John wasn't here, I looked at the calender and noticed that John was to be here at 1:15pm, Jean is now reading fashion magazines.

Notes--

Coat that Jean wanted from Bloomingdales was order on Tuesday- should be here sometime next week.

After lunch on Wednesday- Jean wanted to go look at Skip and Joan's new house. We got out of the car and walked around the back and inside. The location is fabulous, they have the best views in the city, it is really a great house and I am SO jealous. Jean really was raving about how great it is and how great it is going to be. She was really excited to see it. Bill christened Skip's driveway and peed outside of his car door. Hopefully no one saw, it was pretty late in the day.
