today i was stripping beds and cleaning up a bit... so mom has a floor fetish,she can spot any miniscule piece of debris from at least 6 ft away. Today she had been sweeping the floor ( she spent about 30 min making little piles everywhere, I secretly go around after her and gather them up)
About 10 minutes after she finished the floor she expresses her disgust at the "things" on the beige area rug.... "don't you want to do something here?"
You see this carpet is an 8x10 rug that cost about $50 bucks from Home Depot. It has small flecks in it so yes there are some pieces that don't "belong" but overall it is clean.
She decides to "get" those dark spots out... so there she is down on her knees attempting to pick the pieces out of the carpet. I tried to get her so stop but she would not listen to me... 30 minutes later she gave up.
For dinner we had take out, the leftover salt/pepper paper packages were left on the counter. While I was working on some bills, she decided to open them to see what they were.... she is very paranoid about every little thing... mail not addressed to her, conversations she doesn't hear well and evidently condiments!!
This blog is to help share my adventures, yes adventures with my Mom's dementia and to help keep me as sane as possible... not saying much!! We shall see how this goes and where it winds up. Kinda like walking in a blizzard wearin' white...
