    Although she was awake and pulling herself to a sitting position when I entered her room at 1300, she was slow on the uptake (¿I wonder why?) and it took awhile and much petting of and talking to The Little Girl to get Mom into the bathroom.
    Notice the double BM up there? She had two minor releases, today, getting rid, I guess of the tail ends of her head 'em up move 'em out bowel movement yesterday: The first was in the morning at 1325: She didn't even know she'd produced this one. The last was at 2120. Both were smeary and required challenging clean-up and patience on her part to endure my thoroughness. I'm not sure whether the consistency is due to upping her Benefiber dose or the fact that she's had green pimiento stuffed olives a lot, lately, for lunch.
    Dinner was an old favorite that we haven't had for a couple of weeks, mac & cheese with added extra sharp Vermont White Cheddar, added ground round and pork sausage and added chopped onions, green peppers, celery and garlic.
    We had a low going through here today, which more or less accounted for a longer than usual nap, from 1700 to 1930. She'd complained about her knee bothering her all day long. Just after dinner I gave her a 325 mg aspirin for it. She stayed up until almost midnight and her demeanor was so lively that she tried to pull one of her cruelty stunts on The Little Girl, who, interestingly, recognized her approach, yelled at her, backed away from her and refused to let Mom pet her again until just before bed when she was in the bathroom getting ready to retire. The Little Girl's reaction surprised Mom. I was pleased. It's a good idea to keep on one's toes when around Mom when she's feeling good.
    This evening, by the way, was the first evening of deleting one of her glipizide doses from the schedule. I'll probably be knocking out evening sweets, as well, although I can't see any reason not to push them into the morning hours, if she's interested. Usually, though, she's not. I think we'll give the experiment a few days, though, before I insert any sweets into her meals. I will, by the way, reinstate twice daily blood glucose readings, although I'll still skip days with her blood pressure readings.
