Our life is a game of trades, do this and I’ll do/get/give/bargain that.

Bathe now and you won’t need to get up early tomorrow to bathe. Ok, after you eat, but we do have to bathe then. Ok, I’ll bathe first, then you bathe. Still no? Ok, I’ll tear my hair out now – it’s nice and long, easy to grab (remember, you asked me to grow it long?) – then will you bathe?

“Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??? Is Liz coming?” – usually he says this and laughs – today, no laughing. Not him, not me.

“You see Dr. X tomorrow, you have to be clean and look good.”
“Why do I have to go?”

“Cause he’s the guy who writes your prescription for Aricept – that drug that helps you so much.”

No response. Slight pout.

So, I will try (early) tomorrow and if he won’t bathe, Dr. will see the real him, hair standing on end, unshaven, cardigan tucked in his jeans, probably teeth not brushed, face not washed and eye glasses not clean. He may have his shoes on the wrong feet or be in slippers – I give notice that I’m on strike – unless he bathes. He won’t care – he won’t even remember he won for Heaven’s sake!

Everywhere we go, people comment on how well he looks and how good he looks. Well, Baby, tomorrow the comments will be made but not the ones I want to hear.

Stay tuned for Part 2 – he may change his mind tonight or tomorrow:)

And I’m not really upset, just tired of it today.

Today is about as gloomy inside as the great outdoors – I should never get thinking – thinking makes me sad and slightly crazy(ier).

Just was sitting in his office, I love that room. Find it rather incredible that he can’t/doesn’t use it. He got it all fixed up how he wanted it, too.

I am toying with the idea of staying in our house til things change – then a move would not be upsetting to him as far as housing is concerned.

We see our specialist Monday.

So, until I can think of something to post(which could be in 5minutes!) I’ll close, but don’t worry – I’m Ok.
