Oh hdawg.

I got 5 phone calls between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday before I came in. 3 voiccemails, because I cannot bear talking to her on the phone sometimes. Lori, Hams, and Corey witnessed what a phone call with her is like. She had an extensive shopping list that she wanted me to get before I came in. At 8:15 this morning, she called to tell me that the spatula she wants should be black and plastic, not metal, because metal spatulas burn her hand. She also explained that she had to have me get a new spatula because she has lost hers somewhere around the house. (I have no idea.)

Another item I had to pick up for her was a thermometer. She was absolutely thrilled to see that I got her a digital thermometer and wanted to know where I found such a thing. (I am thinking I found them in the mid to late 90s??) She is very happy to have this item because now she won't drop it and spill mercury on the floor. She says everything she asks me to do, I do better than she could've imagined.

Also, she has people who come in and clean the house for her. They told her that she should air out the house for a couple minutes when they were done. They left at 3. Both doors were propped open, and all the windows were open at 5. It was like 40 degrees outside today...No wonder she is sick and cannot recover from her cold.

And, lastly, she has made herself an eating schedule, because if she does not eat before 4pm, she starts to mentally lash out. She says just because I don't feel her mentally lashing out on me doesn't mean it isn't happening and she is sorry. Also, she wants to stop this because she knows the professor can feel it and he is far too kind and does not deserve such treatment.


Overall, a pretty mild day with the hdawg.
