December 16-18

Arrived to find Bill and Jean resting in their bedroom. The collection of gifts under the tree have grown, not to mention the decorations all over the house. I know Jean is really trying to go all out with Xmas because she is anticipating the family on Xmas day for brunch.

Dishwasher still out of service, there are paper plates (etc) if needed. Good to know. Clothes were in wash, ran them through dryer.

Asked Bill and Jean what they were in the mood for dinner. SURPRISE SURPRISE, Bill asked for Mexican food. Altho he has gotten upset when we had it for him before. He asked for his usual-Green Corn Tamale and Cheese Enchilada, with Guacamole on the side, cheese crisp. Jean was excitted and ordered the same. But Jean also wanted Flan.

Both ate their meal, practically cleaned their plates. Gave Bill 1/2 portion of the flan, he ate it all and finished it off with a cup of decaf.

Melissa came by, instead of submitting grocvery order online, Melissa when shopping for us. Honestly we all prefer to have someone go for us, because there are so many times that the grocery delivery service screw up the orders and we end up having to go a week without specific important items, (ie-when they told us they were out of MILK-yes MILK). Gave Melissa the list, knowing full well that all the items will be purchased (at least most of the items).

Bill and Jean slept @ 945pm. Melissa brought in the groceries and put them away.

Jean talked a lot in her sleep - literally whole conversations, crying out, and laughing very loudly all night long-all the way until 845am...seriously.

MONDAY: Bill up @ 845am from Jean talking in her sleep. Had OJ and relaxed in his chair. Breakfast at 940am, woke up Jean.

Poached Eggs
Multigrain waffles
3 donut holes
Juice
Coffee

Ate all their breakfast and all their pills . Jean wanted to call Amanda to get Barbara's phone number. Left a message with Amanda. Flemmings called to confirm appt to check on the ant problem. Both headed back to their room. Dr Khaleds office called to confirm appt for 12/18-time had changed from 1220pm-320pm. Called Ruth to let her know. Also called Dr Villareal to cancel appt set for 330 on 12/18. Will call back to rescedule because they are pretty booked up until the new year.

Cleaned kitchen. Gave both fresh ice water. Watching Matlock.

11am, Jean wanted a shower to get ready for John. Washed, dressed and got her ready for her work-out. Offered to shower Bill, said he wasnt ready and maybe later. Told him he really needed to wash up and shave.

John came by @ 1230. Jean got a good workout. Wore her new shoes, really liked them. John massaged her hip because her foot has been cramping up on her. Gave John his Xmas present, bottle of wine from sportsmen.

Had lunch. Hot dogs (with the works-ketchup, mustard, onions, relish) with potato salad. Diet Gingerale and Diet V8. Ate all their lunch 100%.

Both resting back in their room. Started preparing dinner. Made 2 Omaha steaks for dinner. With mashed potatoes and sliced tomatoes. Ate 100% of meals. Followed by jean with chocolate cream pie. Bill had Mrs. Fields 100 calorie apple crisp, Bill loved it and especially because it wasnt high in fat or calories. Thanks to Melissa.

Headed back their room. Beds turned down, fresh ice water. Jeans foot is cramping up, needed me to help her into the bedroom. Her foot cramped to one side. Helped her into the bed, with heating pad on her hip, per Johns request.

Lights out @ 915, Jean arguing with Bill about watching TV, she wanted to stay up and it seemed like he purposely changed the channel to get the static channel. Jean got fed up and said OH BILL JUST SHUT THE DAMN THING OFF

Both slept welel through the night, Jean talked very little this night. Bill up only 3 times to use the potty.

Tuesday: Bill up @ 815am. OJ and tv. Breakfast at 930am.

Oatmeal
Toast
1/2 cinnamon roll
Juice
Coffee

Jay showed up and Jean had us running around decorating and moving things. Bill and Jean insisted that I write out Xmas bonuses for TC the garbage man and Jaime, Jays assistant. Both received a check for $50. Called A-American Septic tank people, will be here 12/19 between 8-9am. Cookie called Jean, talked to her through Jay;s cell phone, and made plans for 12/19 around noon. Jean, Cis, and Cookie to have lunch and maybe more. Also Flemmings will follow up on 12/19 with the ant issue.

Maria came at 1230, started working. Bill had me include $50 for her for Xmas bonus. Jean left with Ruth at 245pm to head to Dr. Khaled Appt. Prior to leaving both had Split Pea soup with crackers and diet gingerale and ice tea for jean.

Ruth called at 515pm to tell me they were still sitting in Dr Khaled office, in the exam room. He was running very late. Still waiting---Bill relaxing and able to watch anything he wants, happy but constantly asking about Jean every 15min.
