Throughout the day she calls various people telling them the news....
Fast forward to the next evening when Uncle B calls again ~ sorry Doris, it wasn't Chris who died but her sister...... When she hangs up I ask how many people she told who knew Chris & needs to call and set the record straight. She replies oh no one...
In my head I think only Doris....
A relative is going in for colon surgery she called the wife & said "hi, put Vaseline around his rectum to help with irritation... love you bye" that was the whole conversation.. She looked at me & says I think she appreciated me calling. I couldn't reply I was laughing so hard....
I sit at the kitchen table editing photos. Doris joins me sitting at my elbow... She is very helpful!
that looks funny
can you cut it off so she doesn't look like you cut her in half
that baby looks pale, change the background color
and my favorite: the background is multi color polka dots
are you going to leave the polka dots fuzzy?
I reply yes, I am
She ask do you think that looks good? I look at her (irritated) Yes, That is why I did it...
She ask do you think it takes the focus off the baby? I replied (more irritated) no I don't
She replies well if the dots were in focus it would.....Which is why they are fuzzy I reply!
Really, did you really just have this conversation with me...
My favorite observation : that girl looks like a football player....
The caregiver who comes and helps Doris bathe has been driving Doris a little crazy lately..
Miss T started a load of laundry. dark clothes & Doris' new flannel nightgowns - light in color...
Doris has been talking about this for a week now. I finally responded do your own laundry, you are able enough to do it. She replied I think I will... problem solved
Doris came into the living room with a new problem:
She got a clean pair of panties out of the dressers. She came out to tell me Miss T ruined them. I asked how did she do that? Well she must have mopped the floor with my panties! They are dingy now.. I laugh & said she doesn't mop mom, they probably went thru the laundry in a dark load... Doris responds well maybe that is what happened. She decided she'd bleach them, I suggested throwing them away. She decides to throw them since they are pretty old....
I laugh to myself and think it really is time to buy the ole girl some new panties.... It will make her day I believe..
Doris has been helping out more ~ last week she emptied the dishwasher twice, and she put the dirty dishes in it. She washed the dishes that were too big, she has gotten her own soup & warmed it herself. She cleaned the table next to her chair, which is loaded down with magazines, kleenex, papers, bowl of skittles & who know what else... She mentioned to it to Mike, I cleaned my table off? She told me I know he likes things in their place....
The things Doris tends to say are funny only because she has no filter.... Her filter is totally broken and she says things she would have never said years ago. She really thinks shes being helpful, and is glad to help any way she can.
By finding the humor in the situation helps me keep my sanity at times
*** the lump I mentioned in the last post was not cancer!!!! happy dance going on here
