Wednesday, April 6

Yesterday morning about 4AM I wake up to this rustling sound.  When I am fully awake I realize Cowboy is laying bed holding up the bedside lamp with both hands.  It is lead crystal and rather heavy.  I asked what he was doing and he replied "I have got to get it !".  Didn't know if his plan was to throw the lamp or swing it.  I got out of bed as quickly as I could and went around and took it from him.  He did not resist in any way.  I talked to him a little bit and he became calm and went back to sleep.  It concerned me because he could have hurt himself or me.

Good day yesterday.  We had a leisurely morning and then my band came over in the PM and we played for a while.  Cowboy seems to enjoy it.

This morning about 4:30 I woke up when Cowboy started shouting.  I couldn 't tell what he was saying except when he said "Sheba, get out of the way !".  Sheba is our dog.  Then he went back to sleep.

A friend and I went to check out a state VA home this morning while Marsha watched Cowboy.  It was quite clean and very attractive and it is less money than most nursing facilities so is definitely an option.  There is about a 6 month wait on a list before you can get in.  Will have to first decide if this is the best option and then figure out the timing for getting on the list.

We went to lunch and then ran a couple of errands.  Still had an hour before needed to be home so went to my friends and just hung out and visited.  Marsha reported that Cowboy ate most of his lunch and spent a lot of time sitting on the patio.  Nice day.  Gotta go.  Time to fix dinner.
