Continue to re-establish my bed time after time for closer to 10:30 pm. Still needs work.

Other:
Take out Garbage, Green and Blue Recycling bins.
Take an Artist Date: Market trip, then walk to Matter of Taste. Also, on Sunday I went to Michael's to browse and bought Origami paper and some Hallowe'en decorations. Then I walked into Waterloo park and checked out the cheering - The Down Syndrome Society was having a fundraiser challenge and I bought a shirt. Then headed back to my car, stopping at Dairy Queen for a caramel sundae.
Getting my Online presence back. Nothing this week, but I did a 'consider list'.
Gardening - got up on the back hill and pulled all the Goldenrod weeds... I filled a whole bag.
Housecleaning
Help mother manage her finances and other things (laundry, meals, etc.) - I am now responsible for giving her her meds and she is not happy about this, but for her safety, I've had to step in.
Make appointment with her Cardiologist.
Make a hair appointment for my mother
Get the rest of the POA stuff to the proper places. Most of this is done, but I need to get a copy to my aunt.

Get her to do her activities to have her urine tested and return the samples to the lab.
