December 9

Came in to find the house all ready. Jennifer had already prepared them lunch, so all is well except for the dishwasher that is out of commission, ugg!! Jennifer showed me the gifts that she had been busy working on wrapping and getting ready. Some gifts arrived for Jean-from Bill (wink-wink) necklace/ring. Extra photo frames from Jeans last shopping trip to pottery barn were lying around. Jean said she bought them for someone-but cant remember for who...there happen to be 3 of them.

Starting working on dinner, chicken (breast-bill/thigh-jean) with cream of mushroom . Made side of stuffing and veggies (Bill doesnt do string beans, so he had corn). Both ate their entire plate, said they enjoyed, kind of surprised. Gave Bill an jean both a cup of decaf after dinner, jean had her spiced rum creamer, loves it.

Headed back to their room to turn down the beds, refresh their ice waters. Turned the heat up, because both were complaining that it is too cold. Temp was @ 75, moved it up to 76.

Both headed back to their room for a marathon of hitchcock shows. Bill calls me up to inform me that hot air was coming out of the vent. Jean was sitting at her desk and she starting laughing. She told him what he expected when he had me make the house warmer. I guess he realized what he said too, because he gave out a little chuckle and said never mind.

After about an hour, he calls me back in to tell me it is too warm, I should have guess that would happen from the previous mention. I lowered it back to 75.

I made up a grocery list of things from safeway. I picked up some supplies from sams club, the bulk items like detergent-cookie sheets, household cleaner, milk, receipts in drawer. Jean mentioned a few items that she needed in the house. She mentioned items she wants for the upcoming xmas brunch-now that it was moved from xmas eve dinner to xmas day brunch. The things she wants to get-party trays, cheeses, crackers, etc....i told her they woul be better to get from sams club, big ticket items are cheaper there than trying to buy from grocery store and have them delivered, kind of costly.

830pm, went and washed Bill and Jean up for bed. Gave Jean a shower, tried to get Bill moving, but he wasnt up to moving. Finally got him up, through the help of Jean, to at least wash face an brush teeth. Kept calling me over to ask where the toothpaste was, altho it was right next to him, - just not motivated to clean up, so he made sure you knew it. Almost as if he wanted me to give up and stop watching over his shoulder, tough cookies!!! ---even Jean wouldnt let up on him.

Lights went out @ 950pm, kind of late.

Bill called me up @1245am, to tell me that the room was warm, his blankets were untucked, and couldnt find his tums (which were next to his bed). I lowered the temp to 74*, hopefully this will make everyone fine.

Jean yelled out a few times in her sleep, about needing new gloves to go with her new snow suit.

Bill up @ 840am.
