Delusions in Day to day life from a woman that turned 60 in Oct 2014 and who lives on a farm and Retired on January 2, 2016. I plan to do more sewing, work outside in the yard and just enjoy my retirement.

Nurse at Nursing Home called. I just hung up a few minutes ago. Dad was trying to go out the front door because he heard a woman screaming for help. It is dark and raining so the poor nurse convinced dad to stay in while she went outside to check to set his mind at ease. She had to go outside to check as he was determined to go out. *sigh I believe I’ll get another call to tell me they sent him to the ER. I am betting he is needing fluids. The UTI test came back negative so that isn’t the problem.

Brother and his family are now coming here for Thanksgiving. That means 7 more which brings the total to 17 maybe.

I don’t care. I should have worked on decluttering and other stuff. Didn’t. Worked on some crafts instead. Etched a wine glass with snowflakes and other winter images. Finished Christmas themed small wooden blocks. Took me longer than it should have, but that seems to be normal around here.

Did listen to my audio book this afternoon while doing the above. It’s a compilation of short stories by Brandon Sanderson called Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection

I am really liking Brandon Sanderson’s writings. The books are listed under Sci Fiction and Fantasy. I will continue getting his audio books and will listen to them until there are no more to listen to. Then I will start over and listen again.

That is all I have for tonight. Take care and God Bless

Sorry to hear that your dad is agitated. Dealing with aging parents is tough. Sounds as if the nurse is good, though!

I hope your dad is ok and they can figure out what's going on.
That will be a lovely crowd for Thanksgiving!

I was sorry to read about this and it brings back memories of my dad doing the same kind of thing -- hope he is doing better today. Not easy, is it, watching that sort of pseudo-life as it occurs -- sometimes I thought it was a heroic move of the brain to fill the emptiness of my dad's current life.
