November 28, 2013 Friday..... Are we going to bed now...

mac gets very tired by evening and tonight at 7;30, asked, are we going to bed now...for one thing it gets dark so early he starts on his sundown syndrome problems at 4:30, in fact today he started it when we went for our walk, saying...it's bloody cold, I really think i should go home to Montreal. No way would he believe he was in Montreal..but he did add, well my mother was near here though, she was working here...i find he is starting to make up stories - as his mom really never worked anywhere...plus he told his cousin (on the phone),Janet was here for a visit, she was working nearby...oh really?? So it does get a bit eyeopening these days... Although yesterday's trip with the Teapot group to Target and out for lunch at Scores he was fine, he loves company - that's for sure.

Since i have so little time to do this blog, or in fact read books - write emails, though i spend time on phone calls when i can...last night, he fell off the chair, while i was on the phone thank God he was able to pick himself up by getting on his knees first...this is the third time he could do that, he could never do that when he fell at our house in Chateauguay, the neighbour always had to pick him up ...so that's an improvement...

the rest of this blog i will put in a couple of email replies to give the answers to some questions friends have asked. this was my response o a friend who phoned him...
Mac was so happy after he spoke with you, it kept up for some time, and he just
loved talking about you and what help you gave him....i showed him an old
pic of you myself and mac - retirement pic, he said, oh that was long long
ago....i'm sure he doesn't look like that now..i said, just a little older
just like us...he said, well he is such a good guy.. and you are....

just a quick note to thank you for your 'advice', it's always good and always accepted, many people including the people that can make it happen, the CLSC here have suggested Mac go to a group..we have tried to get him there, but he will NOT, he has never really been a joiner...he likes to be a leader...when i leave he just sits and sulks and gets furious...my friend says to make it happen one has to leave him there for a few times, problem is i can never get him to go ...right now he is in a bad mood and not too happy with his prepose who is getting his p.j.s on...he has his sundown moods...sometimes the time goes by and hes just fine, tonight is not one of those times.
it is so much simpler to just walk, enjoy and do various things with him although it does get tiring...i often long fo him to be able to discuss politics and events going on, but it's not going to happen...i do tell him what's going on, but it goes over his head...
well he is on his way back and wants to watch t.v. and then bed...so gnite and thanks for your support love you
and so i do love my friends and love mac, so must join him in bed...g'nite.
