Have been trying to head to bed around 10pm, sleeping til 7 am. On the days it works, it’s great. I feel more rested than 1am til 10:30am

Today he slept til 3:30pm from 10pm last night, had a coffee, ate “breakfast”, wasn’t interested in the paper or TV, read for a few minutes and silently slipped down the hall. After a bit, I checked on him. He’s on the bed just staring at the ceiling. Not angry or upset. “I just want to rest.”

I feel so sorry for him.

So at 7 pm, I suggest soft ice cream cones. We jump in the car, (in a pouring rain) get our cones and life is good – hopefully til 10 pm:)

PS Was quite humorous – luckily we have attached garage, so head out in a driving rain. Go thru the drive thru and order “2 medium cones” – she asks if I want vanilla or regular. Ok, we would like regular. Order comes up and it’s 2 Cok* Classi* – oh, I ordered cones. Cones?! Yes ice cream cones. Oh ————So I told her I’d park and go in – got our ice cream cones, finally. She was a real dear and told me I had an accent – if you say. Now, he still has a lingering one, just a tad, but me?

Father’s Day is coming up – I have a list of gifts to buy him. For these occasions, it looks like Christmas around here, big puffy bag of gifts, a card, cake and flowers. I go overboard, especially the last few years as want him to enjoy the event.

The only negative, he asks when Mother’s Day is. “It’s over, Hon. but remember, you got me —-”
I make something up to appease his worry. It works.

Just decided I will spend my first 3 or 4 hours off in his honor, shopping for the perfect gifts and card – a more fitting way I couldn’t think of right now. If only I could find the gift of healing for him.
