Rose had a nice shower after breakfast, and a long nap in the afternoon, the balance and f her day went pretty routine. Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast and slept until almost 3p . He had a protein bar & a Glucerna when he got up, then left for the library, came home empty handed, said he didn’t find anything of interest. The rest of the evening ran smoothly, bedtime meds, A.M. Meds and breakfast set up for tomorrow and everyone tucked in.

COMMENTS:
Rose was up and had her breakfast before showering today. Rose had a nice nap after lunch and 2p meds. Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, I got him up at 11:15 for church and the gym, he spent the rest of the afternoon reading and watching TV.

NOTE:
I stopped at the Rose Vesper Park on my way in this morning, which was good timing, they were removing the remains of the gazebo. I met Mr. Haas Kidd, I think his title was sanitation supervisor, and spent a few minutes talking to him and took a final picture. It was hard getting away from him, he had so much praise for Dr. & Mrs. Vesper for all they have done for the village, I think he wanted me to know this act was not representative of the people of New Richmond. He told me he was not college-educated, but he tutored elementary level children in math (“his good subject”) in his home after school every day and always included a snack. He and his wife walk around the village on Sunday morning with gloves and a bag, picking up needles, so the little kids won’t be exposed. He also said they do the parks before special events, such as the Easter egg hunt. He certainly brightened my day and gave me a better perspective on the situation, I offered to make a donation to his cause, but he refused, said it was just something he wanted to do. I left him knowing there are still good people in our little corner of the world.

VISITORS/WORKERS:
Elena – Cleaned

COMMENTS:
Rose was alert and somewhat verbal most of the day. I think she likes Elena, she always responds well to her. Elena always treats Rose in a loving and respectful manner and I think Rose understands this on some level.  Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast and slept until 12:30p. I gave him the bad news about the gazebo when he got up.   He responded in his normal calm demeanor, I had to ask him for a response, which was, “Im sad, they should have to pay for a new one after they get out of jail”.  I thought that was a good response, compassionate but fair.  He got dressed and went to the village to talk to the mayor and the police chief, not sure he remembered much of their conversation, but he was satisfied, more importantly, not angry.  He was gone almost 3 hours and when he returned I tried to get a dinner order out of him, but he decided he wasn’t eating dinner because of his 5# weight gain in Florida.  I finally convinced him that was not smart and he conceded to my power persuasion,  he did opt for smaller portions.

Rose had a calm relaxed today. Dr. Vesper was gone most of the day, he spent an extra hour in the gym, according to their scale he gained 5 pounds in Florida, #NotHappy #NoDessert.  I plan to tell him about the gazebo in the morning, I’m hoping he won’t be too upset.

Stephanie – Brought Dr. Vesper home from airport

COMMENTS:
Rose was up at 9a , had a nice breakfast and then off to the shower.  She had a nice afternoon nap after lunch and 2 PM meds.  While Rose was sleeping, I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with Humana regarding tier exemptions, refills and credit card payment issues,  I’m starting to hate Humana😖  I did manage to get a few chores done and get dinner started in time for Dr. Vespers arrival @ 7p.  He was happy to be home and very happy to see Rose. After dinner they relaxed in the living room while I cleaned up the kitchen, got p.m. meds ready and set the table  for Dr. Vesper’s morning routine. I unpacked only necessary items, will finish unpacking tomorrow.

COMMENTS:
Rose slept well last night and mostly stayed on her side of the bed, which means I also slept well.  We had a slow relaxing day, didn’t do much other than routine daily chores. I couldn’t find Hillary this morning, I search the house over, including closets and cabinets, gave up, but was determined to find her and searched again in the afternoon, no signs of Hillary. I assumed she had made her escape when I walked outside to get the morning newspaper. I was sitting with Rose, trying to  decide on dinner when out of nowhere Hillary jumped into my lap. She disappeared from 8a-5p, I don’t have a clue where she was for 9 hours.  We had dinner a little late because Rose didn’t take her nap until 5 o’clock, but we were in no hurry, just a couple ladies of leisure today.
