Sane People

Okay. So Mom has Alzheimer's Disease, which means she can't remember squat. Then how did she manage to call me over and over all night? Did she simple hit redial? I dunno. She evidently went to bed sometime around 4 a.m., as that was the time the 8th called was recorded. I finally unplugged the phone as I had class this morning and can't do anything about the fact that she has Alzheimer's Disease.

Does it disappear when the sun's out? I called her this afternoon and, surprise surprise, she had just awakened and was too sleepy to talk to me.

From now on the phone will be unplugged at 9 p.m. If need be, my cell will be silenced as well.

The family seems to have successfully terminated the neighbor's nosy interference. She was lambasted from all sides. My warning to her: "Never underestimate the power of family." We all stepped up to the plate, which, I think, surprised her. I love my family!

Back to the books.

It felt good to get this off my chest.

  1. I love that she called me to ask for your number AND for mine. Like, the one she called to talk to me.
