After Jim spending the night with mom, I text Jim at 9:30 AM.  He says Mom is doing better than yesterday, and that he’s making her use her walker because she’s still a little doppy on her feet.  He also says that she feels her eyesight is better today.  Thank goodness!  To get a better feel for how they’re doing, I Duo (video) call Jim & Mom about 45 minutes later.

Mom’s doing some better, but still doppy on her feet.  Jim comes home around 1:00 pm and we go grocery shopping for some stuff Mom needs.  Penny texts Jim at 2:15 to ask how Mom’s doing.  He tells her that she’s still a little doppy on her feet but that her vision is better.  She’s using the walker, but taking a nap when he left.  Jim heads back to Mom’s, and I follow to join them for dinner.  Jim decides he needs to stay another night with Mom and I leave around 9:15 PM to head home.  By 10:00 PM Jim texts me that Mom’s already in bed and he’s heading there too.

Today was Mom's 87th birthday ! Charlie & Evelyn had arranged for the family to gather at  Antonio's Italian Cuisine  in Sterling Heights for her birthday dinner.  They also got a big, beautiful (and delicious) cake for dessert!  It was a great time. We picked Mom up at her place and arrived around 2:30.  Dinner was at 4:00, so we had plenty of time.  She was excited to go, and asked us for our opinion and help picking out jewelry to wear with her outfit.  (Jim's a big help in that dept.  Me? -not so much). In the excitement of getting to the restaurant, we overlooked the marque on the sign out front.  Apparently, Evelyn & Charlie had arranged for a personalized birthday message for Mom.  How cool!  After we finished dinner, we grabbed a picture of it with Mom, Charlie, Penny & Jim in front.  (Unfortunately, Greg & Katie had just left, a few minutes earlier).   For more pictures of the event, see Penny...

Penny picked up Mom at 1:15 pm and texted everyone so they knew.  She also sent a photo of just HOW MUCH STUFF mom was bringing with her for the 2 days, with the message “Jesus!”.  It was kind of funny, but also another sad example of perhaps poor (or questionable) reasoning.  Did she really need to take all that? Jim and I picked up Mickey at 2:45 pm.

12:00 noon - We called Mom after doing our grocery shopping in the morning. She said she'd gone out to the garage to start the car, but once again it isn't starting!  That remark quickly lead to her complaining that she hasn't received her license tabs renewal yet.  Jim reminded her that they'd filled out the License Tabs Renewal forms for that the same day she'd received it.  She mentioned that the paperwork she has says that she could check the status on their website but that when she got on the "thing's" (couldn't remember the word laptop) Facebook & Tik-Tok page it wouldn't let her see the Secretary of State website.  She had no idea how to get from there to the website!  'Everything is supposed to be Facebook' and 'she doesn't know what this TikTok thing is about!' She was obsessing about it and kept repeating herself on the phone, so I asked her how the pajama bottoms that I'd taken the waist in on fit her.  S...
