Diary Entry for 1/24/1998

Warmer and hazy some fog. Power company working on our street. Merrill had terrible night. He kept trying to get outside to go home. I was up until 5 AM trying everything I could think of to calm him. I feel so very helpless when nothing gets through to him. He tipped over my beautiful floor lamp and broke 2 panes of glass in the shade. He was trying to open the window to get out. I washed my hair and took a sponge bath. I put new foam pad on bed and clean sheets and cases. I’ve been busy all day to stay awake. Talked with Kay. Don’s all okay. Talked with Kathy VanT. Lyla at Cheryl’s, Jim called from work. Joe B cleaned up some of our brush.
