Shopped today with Wayne – something I rarely do as it’s not easy for him. All we did was walk thru Sear* and look at the clothes – marked down – crazy prices.

So, being who I am, I ended up with an armful. Got to the dressing room – problem. Can no longer leave him outside it, sitting in a chair. I peaked in, empty. With great pleading eyes, I asked the
“older” attendant if we could take the first room and go in together. She said yes immediately.
Relief.

I realize now that I have to shop on my own – it was sheer luck no one else was around.

*** I can call her older, meaning wise and experienced – I’m 63, she was probably 45:) Thank you, dear Attendant!

My Sis and BIL looked after Wayne tonight for 5 1/2 hours.

Shortly after they left, off to the bathroom with him. He really needed to go.

This is causing me grave concern for when he goes into respite – I know the staff understand to take him often but maybe the first day he could resist – thinking I’ll be coming “home” and he’ll wait for me.

As usual, worrying is what I do best.

Hope everyone had a good day. We did.
