After yesterday's sad scenario, happy to say this day was much much better, enjoyed the wind on the lake whipping the waves into foam, making us think of the ocean..it was fun, and of course the chocolate milk shakes on the way home ...made the ending of the day almost perfect, except....
Sundown syndrome strikes again, while i was making dinner, mac was sitting with a furrowed brow - which means heavy thinking time....so once everything was almost ready, i suggested we get washed - then sit down...well 'no way...i'm doing some thinking here, and am wondering why you are here'...well we've gone through this a few times, but not lately, so my stock answer in reply....' I'm your wife and that's why..', I've got some news for you says Mac...you are not my wife....My wife is Janet...so i put up my hand and said, yup that's, me..."you - whoever you are YOU ARE A LIAR....even though i know it's the disease...that line always gets to me..I reacte, and say "i'm not...it's true etc etc...' and he does the same as usual...who said so, and how can you prove it...and how come I've never seen you till now.....this is almost like being in the old t.v. series "the twilight zone'...
No supper for me, I'm not eating with a liar...said mac, so I sat down and started eating myself...then asked if he would like to just go downstairs to the mail box which is right outside the door..to mail a card...Well says mac, i'm not going anywhere with a liar...So, i quickly decided to leave him alone, and go...he would have a weird feeling by himself, and may accept company, liar or not...Well sundown syndrome had hit our building in a big way...one of the residents who usually loves to just walk around - not allowed out has a special bracelet...had gotten out...two orderlies, were out trying to get him in...as I was going out...then once that session was over, i came in and another one who is not allowed out just charged right through the doors...all bells started ringing, and two more responders rushed out to get her...as i was going on our floor i noticed the same lady i saw on the way down, going round with a grocery push cart still walking around and around, so when i came in called downstairs. shortly thereafter heard them taking her to her home...so I casuallysaid to mac...gee people are really having a hard time settling down tonight... must be catching, so think you should have your supper what do you think...'Well why not says mac, since you are finished, don't have to be with you....when he had finished, i said, one thing you have to do with me is the dishes....We always do dishes together....and he did them...and i just casually said..and we usually go for a short walk now...and so he did.......we dropped in to say goodnight to our friend...all was well...and his preposay, came in and all was normal, 'hello he said, we're just about ready for bed' tell the truth, I was ready a long time ago,
And that ended his episode, hope it's ended for awhile, g'nite zzzzzzzzzzz
