I'll reveal a little secret. Mom is currently at that stage of her
dementia that she thinks she's poverty stricken and can't afford to
turn on the heat at night, yet not far enough gone to require forced
conservatorship. So, this Winter looks to be a cold one indeed. I
can stay warm at night, a good fleece blkt and comforter, but am not
gonna lie in bed till the sun rises and starts warming the house.
What to do? Get up and turn on the stove and make biscuits n' coffee.
Fun, warming, and good eats! Plus mom is still asleep and I have the
kitchen to myself. Brilliant!
