susandennisThe Mariners are fucking up another game. This time the White Sox started out pretty good but now they are playing like the Mariners. We're in the 8th so the White Sox will likely win anyway. Baseball this year is just a giant aisle cleanup.
So, while I'm watching, I made a calendar for Mom to show when she went into the hospital (July 27), when she came home (August 9) and when she went into the nursing unit (August 16). When her Mother lived in a nursing home she told me once she wanted a calendar. I made a giant perpetual calendar out of felt and Velcro. Once when I visited, the nurse told me that the last day of the month was a big deal because it was Chang The Calendar Days Day. Grandma loved it and, honestly, by the time she died it was really looking ratty.
But, Mom thought it was the silliest thing she ever heard of and made fun of it lots. This morning when we were talking about how long she had been where she said 'I need one of those silly calendars like you made Grandma that time!' Cracked me up. I made Mom's today in Excel. If she wants the felt/velcro version, she's going to have to beg...
And, then I posted some photos that my sister sent of her girls and Mom. This was a couple of weeks ago.
