Mum's Stoned

Hello Everyone:

Today was a less chaotic than the previous two days.  One thing that has remained consistent is mum on Xanax.  She's been taking a least half of one since Sunday and it's made her drowsy, usually after lunch.  The good news is she ends up napping for a few hours in the afternoon so I can get things done.  The bad news is she wakes up completely stoned and kind of hard to manage.  I just do what I can.  Any sort of conversation, already difficult, is worsened by the medication.  I just have to chalk it up to the fact that mum is sensitive to even the mildest doses of legalized narcotics.  Anyway, the chatty carer did get her to eat something solid.  That's good.  My niece came by again today, this time with the baby niece.  The baby niece is very adorable.  Mum gave her some watermelon chunks to munch on and, like all toddlers, got some of on her clothes.  No worries, she's two and toddlers tend to be messy.  Oh well, the baby niece and her clothes are washable.  It was a good thing that mum took her Xanax after they left because she passed out shortly afterwards.  She's still pretty out of it.  Maybe she'll fall asleep early and I can have a quiet night.
