I bought some blueberry Danish rolls and a gallon of bleach. Then I bought hair-setting lotion, metal pin curl clips and a hairnet for Alma.

I put my picture window beads in bleach water in the bathtub to soak.

I went to Alma's, bathed her, and washed and set her hair, besides everything else I do there.

After work at Alma's, I rinsed my picture window beads, washed one-half of the picture window, and wood trim around it, took off all the bead hardware and installed a clear plastic storm window on the inside of the entire window frame. I got most of the wrinkles out of the plastic with my hair dryer. My hair dryer has a shut-off switch that shuts the dryer off, when it gets too hot, and I didn't have the time to wait until it cooled down to be able to use it to eliminate the rest of the wrinkles. It's also got a short in it and doesn't heat continuously. I put the bead hardware back on the window frame.

Ruth hasn't eaten well for anyone for two days. I liquefied her dinner food and leftover breakfast and got it down her.

I was too tired to eat.
