We don’t want firsts, firsts are for happy, developing children. Tonight I had filled out our forms for our eye exams and my new lenses. He had to sign. Absolutely couldn’t in any way. He tried so hard.

I felt sorry for him and kind of joked that I’d just forge his signature and all would be Ok – he had a faraway look in his eyes – we both knew.

Anyway, have POA so just have to make copies for all the people we deal with “officially” and send them off.

Slowly, I have been changing all the accounts over to my name – the least worrisome or important give me the most hassle! (Sea*s, for example) Was so pleased with our cells provider – when I canceled his cell, she was incredibly understanding. Said she did need to verify with him so told her I’d call when he is awake – no, no, I’ll just do it. Also, she put the account in my name so we won’t run into this again. (She could see the phone had not been used in many months.)

A few years ago I was dealing with a med/dental provider and she asked my PW (which is no longer used). I replied “oldman” – we both burst out laughing – sick humor. I had not intentionally chosen that – it just popped into my head years ago when I set up.

Laugh or cry -

My neighbor asked for a ride “to town” – about 10 minute trip. No, problem, got my man up and off we go.

She picked up the things she needed & headed for the rear car door. He opened it and stood there til she got in, then closed it. As I tuned to look at her, she had tears in her eyes. Ok, stop, I was Ok .

Anyway, she thinks of my guy as a father – lost hers to cancer a couple years ago. Sweet, sweet neighbor – we are so lucky.
