After such an interesting day yesterday, one would think that some of it may have stuck in Mac's memory, but no, when we arrived back home - me so satisfied with the day, that I kind of sailed along thinking it was so recent that Mac would remember at least some or even part of the day, so when we were in bed chatting before we closed our eyes...I said well wasn't that a fun day, answer from Mac, 'in what way?" So i prceeded to explain just what we did, he said, "beats me I don't remember all that" Well good thing I do as we will definitely attend another Alzheimer's Cafe...
Today on the other hand, after enjoying my day out with The Grandmothers of Westhill, we did our usual - followed the sun on our walk, this is what Mac enjoys, there's the sun, let's walk over there, hey it's over there let's get over there, and so we did...realizing, hey the times they are achanging, and so is the weather, time to put on our jackets, and think about fall. The one good thing is we walk faster so perhaps it's better for us..After we arrived home, Mac suggested we talk about the deal...well this took me by surprise...he said 'what's the deal?..
'The Deal, I said, what deal are we talking about...This led to a kind of convoluted talk about papers and newspaper stories and finally i said are we talking about moving, buying stuff ...what? After about fifteen minutes of our voices getting louder and our thinking going around in circles. I said are you talking about looking in the paper and thinking of moving to Retirement Residences, and if they are a good deal. ' he said well - partly, but then there are the papers...Well finally, don't know why it didn't click before as this is Mac's favourite topic...his pension, will it cover a good deal if we move to an apartment...and do we each have a pension, where did i get my pension from, and would we use his pension or my pension. and so on...The papers he is talking about are his bank statements.
When we finally settled down, I said o.k. should we get your bank statements and look them over...well of course not, not now, maybe tomorrow....it's no problem i said we can get mine and yours and we will see just how much we spend. 'What, we spend??... I don't spend anything "says Mac. I think it would be good i said for you to look at your bank statements and see how much we spend on this house and how much you have left, and so on...'...I'll go and get them o.k.
'No, I'm watching t.v., but maybe tomorrow if we have time'...Well stay tuned, tomorrow is another day, thankfully, but the song may be over, but the melody will linger on....darn.. oh well...g'nite.
