Spider Solitaire
*Momma really loves solitaire. She has for years, and she's very good at it. I encourage her to play it, both (i just returned from helping her reboot the computer) because it is cognitively stimulating, and because it keeps her occupied. (Back from another trip to the computer, this time because a word bubble popped up.) She has her own computer- sort of. One day she tripped over my old laptop, and the screen internally shattered. This made it not very practical as a laptop for me, especially so far as my newspaper work was concerned. However, once it was hooked up to an old monitor we had, it made the perfect momma's solitaire computer. Thank God for Frankenstein electronics (and all)!!
*Momma has begun spelling things of late. Random words, and not words get spelled or sung. She'll ask me about the afterword, like "right m?" Sometimes i try to figure out what she's spelling. Sometimes i try to correct her spelling. Sometimes i simply agree with her. i think that at least sometimes there's inherent meaning in the letters, even if they seemingly represent gibberish. Like tonight she was not particularly happy about something i said, and suddenly said "m-a-s-h". Somehow, i think i was sassed or insulted. At the very least it was an expression of displeasure. Still, i plan on calling her doctor to make sure we shouldn't be worried about the change.
