Mom gets very upset about things. Tonight I was over talking to our neighbors on their patio. I had gone out to water the plants and Satine was just too irresistible; I had to go pet her and say hi to Jae. I ended up spending about 30 minutes talking. When I got back inside Mom was crying and very upset. So I convinced her to come outside and she sat while the neighbors visited with us. She seemed to enjoy it. She's just so emotional about everything. It's the dementia. On the plus side, today Terri was back and Mom was glad to see her. Terri knows Mom so well and Mom is used to Terri and she likes it when she is here.

Friday Mom has an appointment with the neurologist. She hates to leave the house so this should be fun. Not. And this appointment is downtown rather than in the suburbs so she will want to know why it's so far away from home.

I've been having to rely on caffeine to keep me awake at work lately due to the sleep deprivation I've been experiencing. I never drink caffeine otherwise.
