Tommy's garbage needs to go out on Thursday night since it is picked up on Friday morning. I was still awake and heard a truck on Thursday morning, so I rushed in and woke Tommy, telling him to take out the garbage to the road. He moaned and started moving to get up and take out the garbage. Then, all of a sudden, he stopped uncovering himself. "Today is Thursday." He moaned and started covering up. I was relieved he started snoring in about 30 seconds. All this week, I have been one day ahead or a day behind. It was the limb truck!
It seems that all day Saturday Tommy managed to eat often enough and the right food to control his low blood sugar. I still have not relaxed yet or stopped being hypervigilant about what and when he eats.
We don't know what is up with people next door. They are never home except to feed the dogs once a day. I suppose they leave something for them to eat and drink and refill it in the late afternoon. Maybe they only are fed once a day usually. Tommy said they were all whining this afternoon, whining for a long time and like he has never heard. There were four to six kids living there with the two mothers. Then, the boys disappeared. Now, I have only seen one girl. Tommy said another woman was staying with the two mothers. Then, it seemed one mother, her children and the third woman were gone. I don't watch them or see any of this. Tommy tells me when he goes out to take the garbage out to road or goes to mailbox.
The dogs lie in the yard all day whining. They do a lot of barking when one of the women comes home. Their yard and carport remain a disaster. Maybe they will move. Of course, there could be worse neighbors.
I bought two blouses that did not fit. I have been looking for the receipt for a week and finally found it. That is equal to finding money in my book! I think that was the highlight of my day.
Several of the twelve things in the article below do not apply to me.
