I just fixed potato soup for lunch and she ate a huge bowl, griping at me because there was too much in it. She had 3 bites left and tried to give it to Sophie. After I had taken her bowl to the sink, I found her in the kitchen looking for food because she was still very hungry because she "just had a very little bit for lunch." ARGH!! This is the opposite of how she usually is, so eating more is always better, but it's still kinda frustrating!
She has been hallucinating, I guess, a lot lately. She imagines things that aren't there. Earlier she came in and asked me what happened to the pot of beans she had on the stove. You guessed it, no beans were ever on the stove. She just asked where the other little dog was. We discussed that Sophie is the only dog that has ever been here and she, obviously, disagreed. She said she fed him this morning. I finally ended it by saying that his owner came to get him and she was ok with that. It's really hard to flat out lie to her!
This has been happening a lot lately. She thinks there are more people at the house or that lots of people are coming over and she worries about it. Last night she stayed up waiting on "all our folks" to come to the house. I gave her her medicine and it finally made her sleepy, but she stressed a lot. Much the same happened today when lunchtime rolled around. She was ready to cook lunch at 10:00 for the workers. I don't know where she gets some of this stuff!! I know it would help if more of her family and friends came to visit, but we will just deal with it and try to keep her not thinking about that. I just wish she was still able to occupy herself and not go so stir crazy - whether someone is here with her or not.
