My mother rang last evening to say that she had been robbed at the senior living facility, $100 stolen from her purse in her nightstand. She always keeps her door locked when she is away from the room, which is only for meals, so it must have been done by an employee with keys.....so very disheartening, I did not sleep at all last evening. I had not planned to visit her today but I arrived early in the morning to confront whomever I could find, but being a Saturday, those in charge are not working. I will meet with one of the owners on Monday. I then decided I needed a walkabout so enjoyed more birds at both Bonner Park and Indian Rocks Beach Nature Reserve boardwalks.

Morning visit by Duke Energy for energy audit of mum's home. We had hoped that this audit would give us rebate on windows, but this is done only for single family homes, not multifamily/condos. It was still a worthwhile (free) evaluation. My new mattress was schedule for a noon-2 delivery so decided to enjoy an hour at the pool (water temp still too cool at 63) but come to find out the delivery truck showed up at 1015am (while I was gone) so he was there when I returned after 11 (I think that they may have gone for a bite to eat or another delivery rather than wait). Afternoon visit to the bank for notary signature on building permit for window install and a much needed haircut.
