Talked to mom Saturday morning. Dad was up and down Friday night, so neither of them had much rest. She had just gotten dad in the shower, after a few hours of wrangling. He did not want to shower and he had clenched his fists at her. Told her that I just wasn't going to be able to make it up, but Sunday afternoon would work. She burst into tears. Cue the guilty daughter. Told her I was sorry, and I would see what I could do. She was OK, just a bad morning and was looking forward to having some company. I did text Eric and Erica, and both of them were able to stop by yesterday afternoon. Richard and Rhea also stopped by, and I am going up this afternoon. Talked to mom about 9:30 last night, and she was working on her puzzle. Dad refused to go to bed, so she just let him sleep on the couch. She covered him up and went to bed, but checked on him throughout the night. About 5 a.m., she heard him rustling around. Walked in the front room and he was standing in front of the couch with no pants, garments, etc. Nekkid from the waist down. She asked him where his pants were, he told her he didn't know. She found them in the family room, and they were wet. Got him some dry clothes and talked him into showering again. Guess he told her to be quiet and clenched his fists at her. When I talked to her at 8:30 this morning, he was sleeping on the couch and she was going to leave him alone. Said she is ready, it's time. She was in good spirits, as come to terms with the fact he will be moving to Chancellor in a short time. She is still worried about how he will react, though.
Talked with Abby at Chancellor yesterday. They had someone move out, so we have moved up on the list. This means we are 1 or 2. Abby had forgotten her keys, so was not able to get into the file to check for sure, but said she or Tammy will all me tomorrow. We are closer. Fred is going to get a dresser and nightstand this week, and Eric will get the bed and recliner cleaned up.
Going up this afternoon, and will update everyone when I get home.
