Today's Stats:
Breakfast
The earlier I awaken her, now (and, this morning, I awakened her, hoping to move us, eventually, further and further forward) the longer it takes to get her going enough to feed her. Once again, I thought I had the perfect time to take her blood pressure this morning, but it didn't work...she talked to the cat, scratched herself...and, I think, she' wasn't completely recovered from awakening. Oh well, we're working on it.
Nothing else unusual about breakfast, this morning.
Lunch Non-Stats
That's right, no stats today. I was feeling edgy, my mother had taken an unusually long nap and has been sluggish and "easy", today; and our moods simply haven't matched. So, when she was finally up for lunch, I was snippy, fed her, but had no interest in interacting with her otherwise, which was probably best, that way I didn't irritate her.
Dinner
I'm satisfied with her blood sugar, today. Her blood pressure is looking better. We didn't do any exercises, formal or informal, today. Oh well.
