I was supposed to go to book club yesterday morning but with the kitchen still in pieces and the cleaning people coming (they changed the time on me at the last minute from 1PM to 10AM) I was scurrying around trying to get things in the cabinets before they arrived. I made it and all is done and clean and I am feeling good. I enjoy book club and missed going.
A couple of friends came by for a few minutes to admire my kitchen's new look in the afternoon.
We had been thinking about doing some things in the house when we learned that Cowboy was ill and was going to continue to go down. A while back I just decided to go for it and I am glad I did. It has been good for me and despite my concerns about change and Cowboy has done OK with it.
I was laying in bed last night and thinking about reading the paper yesterday and starting to comment to Cowboy about an article. I have always done that and it would start a conversation and we would discuss current events, politics, etc. Sometime we would agree and sometimes we would have "lively discussions" about a topic. I realized yesterday that even if I said something he would not know what I was talking about nor would he care. I really miss that. He had a lot of intellect and would often express an opinion that made me really think. Loved it. Miss it.
He is continuing to wear his new shoes without complaint. I think his feet feel better and it is easier to walk in them than his boots. He just kind of shuffles along now.
We had eggs and toast and grits this morning. He ate well. Sometimes he doesn't eat (again). The caregiver said on Wednesday he only ate a few potatoes and would not eat his sandwich.
Our little band is playing a gig this morning at a adult day care. I am taking Cowboy with me. I took him last time we went there and he sat quietly and listened to the music. He even carried my violin in and then out after. His idea.
