It's good to have a room of one's own

Another visit to mom's, but it turned out to be just for closet & laundry updates, because she was sleeping soundly right after lunch. Probably the best option, since it's a holiday (Labor Day) and the Activities Ladies are off work. That means the only entertainment for the ladies (and one hunched-over man in a wheelchair) is to watch the Music Man video. When I went in, the movie was just starting, and by the time I was ready to leave (I spent 20-25 minutes in her closet - much more than usual, but it needed work), all the ladies but one were sound asleep in their chairs. So mom's nap was the smart choice.

I'll see her on Friday, since I have business meetings every day between now and then.I know the Activities Ladies will be back, and the hospice people will be looking in on her too. With the aides, the nurse, administrative people, and the other residents, she's never lonely. Probably her nap today is the best getaway she could find.
