A very busy Sunday, with weather that we try not to swear at.. more SNOW, as we plough through it from our friend Ginny's car on our way to Church...after all we are on our way to church...where we joined about sixteen people - then back home in time to have lunch with our sweet little twerp Finley, her mom Brianna, and grandmom Valerie....which is always such a delight especially that little sweetie...who charms us both ...though whenever anything happens to Finley i.e. she falls, or hurts herself ...poor Mac gets so wrought up - trying hard to figure out who or how or why she is crying. Thankfully he didn't dwell on it as he can get so upset trying to see "The Why"which is always hard for him...so after they left....i dutifully tried to explain why we were going to go to the advance poll in our building.
Rather a sad problem as in the past politics the why and how of politicians and the ins and outs of Quebec politics especially , would be Mac explaining everything to me...in any case - we did vote...after we left the polling station he said, 'now why did we do that."...So, again I tried to explain, which was kind of difficult as i had to discuss just who we were electing - names that really didn't ring a bell, except by saying Pauline Marois ..which did..or seemed to....but of course we don't put an X by her name but by the name of the person who represents the party of our choice...NOT PQ...but on and on I droned about WHY...we did vote, who votes etc etc...till I was boring myself...then I realized, I might as well just shut up...in five minutes he'll forget all about it...and of course he did...
This is something I sometimes forget (ha) and that is, just how long he remembers...for example when we went down for our nightly walk around, he said, 'i guess everyone is eating in the dining room' ..."no Mac we were there already for dinner..." it's 8 p.m. everyone is probably in bed or watching t.v., it's dark out there now, see..."oh have we had our dinner'...and so it goes..life is all right now...in this moment...which is at times kind of strange...in a conversation with my friend Kathy...she thinks it's wonderful that i can live in the moment...but actually I don't have a choice..so that's it...so there is no use getting all het up about anything, it's kind of good...on the other hand it does sometimes backfire as I get wrapped up in the moment, and forget to get ready on time for future activities..in fact we were planning (or I was) planning on Mac and I going for dinner in our dining room...which starts at 5:00 p.m. it was already 5:00 when i noticed the time...and so no preparation i.e. explaining to mac time for dinner...as we rushed downstairs...so no wonder he didn't remember - and that's the way life is ...for us anyway.
So if I'm not there for him in the moment...life is completely upside down...and that's what's just happened he is out of bed, wondering what's that clicking and where is janet..well here i am clicking on the computer so must get to bed and stop the clicking. now is the moment to sleep..g'nite.
