Half Closed Eyes, Eating Less

Two sundays in a row my mom has been mostly just playing with her food.
Well, they call it playing. She seems to go into a trance, hyper focused on 
pushing the food into a neat pile and adding juice.


Yesterday she had slept late and was seated with a plate of squished pancakes
and mashed potatoes infront of her when i arrived.
At least they are trying to find something for her to eat but
it seemed all dry to me.
Lunch I knew would be a failure and sure enough i turned my back for a second
and found her plate of meat,veg,potato drowning in juice.
I dumped out the juice and the aid took it away to try later.

She kept her eyes three quarter closed 
even while "reading" the paper and while listening to music video.
At one point she focused on the video of people dancing and enjoyed
it , but her eyelids soon went down.

I decided to coax her to the couch which she came over to 
and we snuggled and kissed eachother on the cheek for a 
nice long while. 
When it was time to leave, I gave her a baby doll and she perked 
right up making sure it was covered with blanket.
Below you will see link to video of what she does with 
her food .
