So, moments after I posted last, he looked over at  me and said, “So where are we?”

For a millisecond I was stunned then answered we are in the living room of our house.

“Oh, I thought we were over there.” – He’s pointing to the front entry door.

I ask if he wants to go out for a walk, declines. “No, I just wanted to know where we are and now you told me.”

Ever since respite, he’s been occupied with the door. I’ll have to ask if tried to leave while there – he was alarmed so they could catch him very quickly if he opened any exterior door.

So, I’m scrubbing his bathroom thinking a grenade would help – - -

Anyway, he is hovering nearby and honestly offering to help.

“Here, take the paper towel to the “big bathroom” – I know he’s willing but can’t find it. He turns right out of our bedroom and opens the linen closet.

Then I give him toilet tissue rolls to put in a large ziplock bag – total confusion but he’s happy helping and being with me.

All of a sudden, he’s searching earnestly for something. We finally figure out it’s his shirt. I find one – “no, not that one, the one I was wearing this morning.” Once I remembered which shirt, we are in full search mode, I find it quickly:)

Offer to help him get it on. He burst out laughing and says he doesn’t want to wear it, he’s worked so hard he’s sweating like a pig! We both collapsed in laughter. And so the day goes – - -
