First, let me say that staying up to 1:00am awaiting election results is not a good thing. It makes me tired, cranky, and out of sorts. And not a very productive specimen of humanity. More like a couch potato, with a cat stretched across my chest which makes for very interesting typing. Okay. On to the orders. Mom has been very tired lately. She sleeps quite a bit.

'Creating Moments of Joy Along the Alzheimer's Journey' by Jolene Brackey and 'The 36-Hour Day' by Nancy Mace and Peter Rabins. Both are good books for resea...
