That was the latest question before going up the stairs tonight to watch t.v. at 9;30..did we have supper???; .eating is our special events of the day, so it's important for him to know. It's amazing how fast a day can go when one has those three events, breakfast, or brunch, snack time and supper...between those events, there is our walking...this we managed to do when we came back from study group at the church, normally i leave him with our Helen, but , Helen is no longer our suupport girl for Mac...she has tendenitis and will no longer be working for the clsc till this clears up, but sad to say, we'll be living in Lachine and on to a new suppport person.
For approximately 2 more days we will have Clare, luckily she worked for a moving company at one time, and has given me great tips on packing for moving - so tomorrow this is what we'll do PACK; At first Mac was very sad to be without Helen, but I must say that the Alzheimer's group have neat people that work in the role of respite for care givers, and Clare was able to stay with Mac without too much of a problem, although after having Helen for almost two years, it was even an adjustment for me. So if you are reading this blog Helen, you are missed and we surely appreciated all your help and loving support.
Now, Mac is busily checking his wallet, a nightly procedure, checking his change and making sure all the doors of the house are locked, the cat is in, and that I am getting my act together to get to bed - I must say that these daily routines, marching around the house to music, going for our slow walks on a good day like today , the reading of newspapers, doing crossword puzzles together, doing the dishes, this is important and seems to keep Mac ticking...and his mind working, not only working, but fun; and as he just said now o.k. end of the fun and games, time for bed and he is saying it again so o.k. already, g'nite
