This morning's visit was a good one. Aunt I was awake, which is good, since she slept all through yesterday after her dialysis. We couldn't wake her at the afternoon visit, and she had just gotten her nighttime drugs when we were there for the evening visit.
Today, though, she was awake enough to ask when she could go outside. One step at a time, Aunt I, one step at a time. Disconnected from the machines and into the chair first, then we see about maybe being able to push a wheelchair outside.
Am hanging at the local mall's Starbucks, taking advantage of their free wifi, watching the old people walk by. Of which, I probably look like one to the relatively few who are younger here.
There are a fair number of people wandering around. Don't know how many are actually buying anything, and many shops in the mall have closed up. The anchor stores are Sears, JCPenney, Macy's, and Dillard's (which is actually Macy's, too, since they bought Dillard's before Macy's was bought by Federated).
Haven't been in a mall near us in a while, so don't know if this is a trend, but there's an insurance kiosk, a "we buy gold" kiosk, and a custom embroidery kiosk, plus one of those bungee-trampoline set-ups for the kids. Odd little collection of stores.
Gonna grab a little lunch before the afternoon visit, then it's off to Leaning Tower of Pizza for dinner. Ethnic, as ChickenKnittle would say...
