I went to bed at about 2:30AM and rose at 10:00AM. I logged onto the computer and downloaded BeJeweled 2 Deluxe. I am quite addicted to this game. I can play for about an hour at a time if I do not have something more pressing to do. That is a long time for any one thing to hold my attention. I tend to jump from one thing to another most times.
At about 11:30AM my friend called to say she would definitely meet Mom, Alex, and I at Olive Garden for lunch. She did not finally leave to get there until around 1:00PM so we met her and her family there at 1:30PM. We did not get a table for about an hour and sat out in the cold because the seating inside was all full.
They brought Mom and I flowers and candy for Valentine’s Day. There are pictures of the beautiful flowers in the My Art album. I hope I can keep my tulips alive a while. I love tulips. I think I will draw these sometime soon.
After we ate we all came back to the house and the kids played Xbox with Alex and jumped on the trampoline. I think they had a ball. They wound up staying until after 7:00PM. We talked and talked.
Mom was really feeble yesterday. She had to be guided around the restaurant. She also argued with me that grinning meant frowning, and I know that she did know the correct meaning at one time. She is getting worse… I fear she will have more and more cognitive loss. It is so sad. I wish there were something I could do for her.
The day was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I started playing BeJeweled 2 after our company left and did that until late into the night. I do not usually play computer games too much but I really like this one.
I think maybe I will get into some more ancient history tomorrow… but not right now.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day! Remember to tell all those you love you love them, because you never know when that could be the last time.
Always,
Jo Ann
