So a good day after a surprising day yesterday, the surprise being that the sore knee and leg I have been nursing and grumbling about turns out to be a torn miniscus...had a cortisone shot, and now if it doesn't heal, I will probably have to have surgery...Talk about taking care of the caregiver. Think I forgot about that, and tried to do too much by lifting Mac from chairs etc, without realizing the strain on my leg as i pull. BUT,
Today was a good day we went to the Seniors Christmas party, where we heard music that I could'nt dance to but enjoyed anyway, and mingled with friends and Mac had an admirer, a young woman who helps out at our club...She made Mac feel great by telling him how good looking he was and what fun to see him answering her and laughing..it just made our day, both his and mine. So when we got home I was quite surprised to hear him say...We have to sit down and discuss something.
What do you want to discuss, says unsuspecting me...how could i forget...MONEY ---Mac somehow got it in his head that maybe one of us has too much of a burden moneywise, and we have to sit down and discuss who is paying for what - how much, and is anyone not really kind of paying enough or what. This was said in about 15 different ways over a period of 30 minutes till i was losing it. Over and over i explained about his bank statement, and my bank statement, and we will sit down and see that it is all taken care of by authorized payment plans and we are quite fine.
I have just started to realize that so often when we feel that everyone in the conversation gets what we're talking about, this is not always so. Today, Les while driving us to the Barber for Mac's haircut, was talking about getting transfers of money for his customers, i.e. having to get to the bank. How people have to have $$$ for Christmas etc etc. plus the fact that we or I have to pay taxes for income not reported in past income tax forms...So guess that's been sifting around in his mind, well it sure not going to sift in my mind, these things will be taken care of but I WILL sit down and discuss with Mac, so he will not have any burdens to think about as that is his own word..burden...no one should have a burden especially not MAC..
There are enough burdens out there in the world, especially after the bad news re; a shooter in an elementary school today. We will appreciate our own lives and pray for those whose lives have ended in such a horror for their families and friends. Now it's time to lay our burdens down and go to sleep, so g'nite.
