Sep 18 7am

Morris visited on Monday, plans to be back today Tuesday.

bed-time went smoothly, the new bed was no problem, went unnoticed by H. even ... the get-in part I felt was easier due to lower height of the bed ... H. was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, that is something I have not seen before, may be a sign of bed's comfort factor. She slept thru to about 3:30, then was up and in her chair and ready for some toast and cranberry juice.

H. has been asking for lemon pie lately, this will be the third day in a row she has brought it up, even asking at 5am if "it's too late to go to the store" so I tried to understand what kind of lemon pie, who got it for her , hoping to figure out how to get the right lemon pie ... turns out it's lemon meringue ("there's egg-whites on top"), she had it as a child when her mother made it.

H. did have me check under the chair, not sure what for, H. says to "see what is there" ... Pam thinks it's to check for a mouse ... seems Pam has done this under-chair check before and also a kitchen cabinet check for H. (opening all cabinets in kitchen) and has swept under things in the sitting room all at H. urging ... Pam is great to humor H. in this way, she understands there is no mouse or whatever, but just the actions of looking for it reassures H. that she is safe.

fyi - this is my departure day, I leave at 10pm tonight.

also of note: 1) last evening H. remarked on "tiny bugs" at her ankles, right about where her socks elastic makes an impression in her skin ... needless to say, no bugs.
2) house noises - anybody else notice numerous creaking type noises in the walls/attic? doesn't sound like squirrels to me, but is different from house creaking noises that I am used to ...
