    'MK' left this morning, she forgot her photos but I have emailed her copies and will send the photos themselves after I get her address out, its either in my book or I've already lost it and will have to get it from Chris again.

    I have already cleaned the laundry from the green and brown rooms as well as Mom's personal laundry and I was able to get Mom to take a shower and put deodorant on. I had to convince her to use the nasal spray, "Why? I can breathe through my nose just fine, it's the rest of my head that is clogged up!" But she has remained positive all day rather than reverting to getting upset about everything.

    I do not understand the back-stabbing though- she is currently downstairs telling 'JP' and 'J' that I've said something to her about leaving, which is totally fabricated. Apparently the boys are leaving for Florida tomorrow... maybe. I really wish they had gone while 'MK' was here, but I don't expect it will be that different. Hopefully it won't freak her out when they leave.

    After moving into the green room I went looking for a cd player. Oddly enough there is not one to be found now. I had previously suggested that we get Mom one made by Fisher Price- they run 50$, have big buttons and are very sturdy, I found one on Ebay for 25$. The boys, however, don't think it is necessary. So anyone who has one they aren't using- please send it my way. There is no way to play music here unless it is that awful satellite station which Mom doesn't tolerate. She wants me to bring up her music from the storage house. It would probably be a good thing to have a bookcase to put her music on- I don't think she can handle one of those cd holders.

    I don't have a router yet, I expect one will be headed my way this week. Without it I have to come up here to the hot loft and listen to the rest of the house. Privacy is an issue, not a huge issue, but all the same.

    Did someone not tell me that Mom wore pads or diapers? She isn't wearing them now. Trust me... I know, I did her laundry. By the way, don't buy expensive prewash- I found a recipe that works a lot better. In a spray bottle combine; one part dawn dishwashing liquid, one part salt water and one part vinegar.
