    Very good day today: Mom was in a superior mood. She awoke on her own at 1115. By the time I noticed her, she was in the bathroom working herself up from the toilet. She had, again, hardly leaked, but we did a full bath, anyway: I just got the feeling that the all over skin stimulation of a full bath might get her going even more. For breakfast I served cranberry scones instead of toast. I didn't make them: I got them at one of our local organic stores and they were made with spelt instead of wheat flour.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1445: Fair volume; somewhat smeary consistency; very easy elimination; somewhat challenging clean-up.
    Although, etchnically, she had two naps, one at about 1530 and one at about 1800, the longest was the latter of one half hour. I don't think she really slept through either; just "rested her eyes".
    I served the rest of the tomato pie for dinner, adding more cheese and some pepperoni inside the crust, since she actually wanted pizza but I wasn't up to ordering and going out to get the pizza in the rain (which is unusual; normally I'll look for just about any reason to go out in the rain).
    She received two adult aspirin today because she was notably stiff and complaining of body aches: One in place of her normal 81 mg aspirin in the morning and one after dinner. She retired at 2355. Her light went out at 0030, 3/30/06.
    Forgot to mention, I gave her 400 mg guaifenex at breakfast for obviously internal lung congestion and coughing; as well, she said she felt like she "had a cold". Also gave her a second glipizide at dinner because of the biscuit crust to the tomato pie and the tomatoes in it.
