COMMENTS:
Rose had a calm and relaxed day, after dinner she asked Dr. Vesper “what time is it?”, he gave her the time and she said “thank you”. Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast this morning and then read the WSJ when he got up until it was time to pick up the mail. He was gone much longer than a normal mail run, so I looked him up on “find my friend”, which showed him in back of the middle school. He had decided to move the trees that were on the ground near the dip. When he finally returned he had 3-4 trees attached to the back of the truck with chains. He made several trips like this until he finally got one stuck underneath the truck when he tried to back up while the trees were still attached. I helped him dislodge the tree and get the truck unstuck. He is trying to move the trees to the lower level by the garage, not sure why. The gates were stuck an open position when I left tonight I have a sneaky suspicion the trees didn’t clear the gate before closing, will deal with it tomorrow.

COMMENTS:
Rose had a pretty typical day, after her 2 PM meds I transferred her from her wheelchair to the recliner in hopes of getting a manicure accomplished while she napped. She became too anxious to allow me to finish, I did get one hand completed before I decided she needed a break, she fell asleep right away. While Dr. Vesper was at church I was able to get the October calendar done. I was able to finish her manicure after dinner, she tolerated the torture much better the second time around.

COMMENTS:
Rose was up as soon as Dr. Vesper was up and out the door for church. After breakfast she did her exercises and then lounged while I did some routine chores. In the afternoon she had a long nap, resting up for her big birthday party. Dr. Vesper also took a nap when he returned home from church and the gym.
