Hazy, crazy day--and more on the way. MD has installed herself in her bed--and is using a whistle to alert everyone that she needs assistance. Some of her needs are simple (turn a device on/off)--some are complex (she wants a bath). It looks like my daughter and son-in-law will create a Dot/Alexa network that will let her tell Alexa what she needs--and have Alexa forward the request to the right person (or activity or such).

She's not eating--just a few bananas and a couple of prunes. She's trying to unclog her system--hopefully that will happen and happen soon so she can get back to eating some more substantial items.

I stayed in a fog for most of the day--finally got clear after shaving, taking a shower, and drinking a V8 Fusion. I have to down one of those caffeinated drinks every day--not so late in the day but more like when I need a boost the most. I seem to do well taking one after an RSB class--while I eat some lunch. I also often get a SB Frappuccino in the afternoon--but that drink doesn't provide the clarity produced by the V8. But I don't want to down two V8's every day--just will have to look for the balance point and level out my current regime.

Have an RSB session in the morrow--and I didn't promise that I'd caretake more than a couple of hours in the late afternoon. Will see how that goes--I'm leaving myself a space for a nap in the afternoon.

I spent way too much time paying a couple of bills online today--It took me a lot of restarts to untangle my sketchy memories of how to pay bills on those sites. But I reconstructed how to make those payments--and I'll try and not forget the details next month. I could make them auto-pays--but I dislike putting financial data and information in the cloud.

Holiday weekend--May will soon be gone and June will be on the agenda.
