    I awoke her much earlier than she usually arises because we had an appointment for a tour at yet another Adult Day Center, one I discovered very close to our home and with which I was impressed when I dropped by last week.
    Breakfast was sausage and egg, no toast, since I knew we'd be having a complementary lunch at the Center and I had no idea how much starch would be included. Lunch was much better than I expected: A grilled, marinated chicken breast which was quite tasty; a splendid helping, almost a cup, of peas, frozen, not canned; seasoned, roasted red potatoes, which Mom didn't eat (she's not that much for potatoes); a pre-lunch "appetizer" of orange Jello with mandarin oranges in it; a small, light, yeasty roll; about 3/4 of a cup of water packed peaches.
    Mom did quite a bit of walkering around the center and participated in their "Sittercize" session, which lasted about a half hour and was a lot more fun and somewhat more strenuous than what Mom and I do. She did well, kept up and had no complaints of back or knee stiffness for some time afterward, although when we got home her right knee was a little weak and she asked for an adult buffered aspirin, which I gave her, before her nap. She napped until just before 1700.
    For dinner I served grilled sharp yellow cheddar sandwiches with pepperoni and a display of fresh cut vegetables including green peppers, radishes, carrots, grape tomatoes and green pimiento stuffed olives with some home made Ranch dressing for dipping. She used a little of it but decided she preferred the vegetables without the dressing.
    Before bed I gave her a second glipizide. I decided that now that her hemoglobin is up, as long as it stays up perhaps it would be a good idea to reinstitute two glipizides a day, since her HA1c will probably be coming up, also. We'll see how it goes.
    She went to bed at 2345. Her light went out at 0014, 5/11/06.
