Ruth fell asleep about 10PM, but not in a sound sleep 'til 11PM. I took a bath, washed my hair, ate my dinner and went to bed on the couch. She woke me at 4AM, because that's when the laxative worked in her bed. I had been told to give her a laxative in her dinner, which I did. She fell back asleep 'til 6:30AM, then again til 7:40AM.

I bought bleach, all-purpose cleaner, dishsoap, glass cleaner and cleanser. I also bought something to eat tonight at Ruth's.

When Iwent home, I did more laundry, spring housecleaned the middle bedroom that Greg had originally rented, gave the dogs a bath, and cleaned the bath and hall.

Then I went for another job interview. This time for a woman who has Alzheimer's disease. I start that job on Tuesday at 10AM. I don't know how many hours I'll be working there.

Then I took a nap on my cold waterbed. I didn't see any reason to use the electricity when I was sleeping on somone else's couch seven nights a week, so, I had unplugged it to save electricity.

Steve hasn't brought back the battery for Greg's truck. If Steve doesn't arrange to have a battery by tomorrow, Greg said he is going to file a complaint with the State's Attorney for theft.

I collected the rent at Mom's house. Just Felicia was there. Sonny had moved out. Since Felicia bought rollers and painting supplies to paint her kid's bedroom, I was only able to collect $245.00, instead of the $275.00 I had expected.

I have a chance to be off Sunday night, but I am going to turn it down. I would love to have the time off, but I desperately need the money.
