Ruth slept well, although that doesn't mean that she lets anyone else sleep. All night in her sleep she loudly repeated sentences that have nothing to do with this conscious world. I felt better today than yesterday, because I did get more sleep, but not necessarily all at once. I got Ruth's medicine down her, but she had just started eating breakfast as the day shift took over. I went directly to Alma's from Ruth's. Alma was calm, if you can ever call Alma calm. Larry left shortly after I arrived to go to the horse show that he wanted to go to, and Alma stayed relatively calm until about noon. Then she became agitated. The horse show got rained out, and Larry was home at 2PM. I left at 4:30PM and Larry paid me $78.00 cash.

I tried to sleep before I went to Ruth's, but couldn't.

Alma and Larry's yard has a Stanley plum tree on it, and I picked plums and made a plum dessert for Alma and Larry. I took some with me for Ruth's 9PM snack. Ruth's niece left $114.00 cash for my wages.
