Repetition

Lately, her mind is occupied with thoughts of sweeping / mopping the floor.

In the morning, she'll ask at least 6 times about the floor.

Have I swept the floor?
Do I need to mop the floor?
Did I mop the floor yesterday?

Sometimes, she sweeps the floor again after sweeping the whole house.

Telling her to sit down and rest doesn't work. Because she'll ask again after her nap.

Sometimes I answer with patience. Other times with exasperation. Sometimes I answer like the robot. Other times like a mad woman about to pull out all her hair.

I think I need to create a mechanism for her, to check off the chores her mind has set for her to do.

But I'm predicting, her memory won't sustain long enough for her to do that.
