Can change it to every other day. Don't have to even do it since there has been no weight loss. Also, discovered that Dad's weight is really the same as it was 20 years ago. I found the application for the LTC insurance.
Call Dr. to discuss Dad's high blood sugar readings in the afternoons.

October 9, 2019 Wednesday Yom KippurTodos:Pick up Dad's RX on Thursday Order Risaquad for parentsFile a bunch of papers (not for today)Clear my stuff/papers from dining room tableSubmit my Dad's invoices for June, Sept, and October to LTC Check status on Dad's LTCPay Dad's bill for The CottagesPay Mom's bill for The CottagesPlan Parent's 64th Anniversary party (Anniversary is Oct. 11th). -- find out when all of us can get together & celebrate or have The Cottages plan party for him with all their staff & residents...
Text Dr. - Dad's blood sugar readings from before moving into The Cottages.
Trim Dad's fingernails
Go to The Cottages & get parents ready to go to Yom Kippur services. - I called before I went and the staff was very helpful & caregivers had them mostly ready. I helped Mom with her hair. I helped both with their socks. My Dad looked so dapper in his 3 piece suit. My Mom also looked so nice in her skirt outfit. 
Unpack Mom's walker bag & re-pack with just a few things (disposable briefs, wipes).
Took Mom & Dad with me to services. DH had asked friend's of his that were working as ushers to watch for us & help if we showed up. So, they were wonderful helping me with my parents when I drove up. Only thing was that I wanted to take both to the bathroom first, but DH & ushers had them already seated. uh oh... that was a mistake. I should have insisted & gotten them back up... but I didn't do that. Boy! did i learn from that mistake!
After 30 minutes, there was a break... so I took DMom & DH took my Dad. Dad was fine, but Mom; however, ... oh, so sad for her. She had no clue and before I could get her on the toilet.. she had gone on the floor. She didn't know she had done it as she was gathering her skirt up to sit on the toilet. We had to toss the brand new hose & we were in the bathroom a very long time as I had to clean the floor, etc. Poor Mom...    
We went back into the services & the break was about over, but Dad said he wasn't feeling well.... so we left. I kinda wanted to leave,, anyway, because I was stressed that Mom would have another accident. (I had told them before we came that if they didn't want to stay or wanted to leave at anytime that all they had to do was tell me).
I knew that it was a risk taking them, but felt that I had to try if they wanted to go (which they did. I did not push them or try to talk them into going... they both wanted to go).
Took them back to The Cottages & stayed a while getting them situated back, again. I just now realize that I don't think that I signed them back in...
Made plans for parents 64th Anniversary party. We are going to have it this Saturday which is the day after their actual anniversary. Can you imagine?! 64 years!!
Came back home for a little while then went to the Concluding Services & heard the Shofar.
DH, DS & Dil and I went out for supper at a Mexican Restaurant -- Senor Locos.
DH, DS & I had been fasting since dinner last night.
found book with Dad's blood sugar readings from before The Cottages so I can text them to the Dr.
couple phone calls with Parent's bank, today...
