Yesterday I got up at 7AM and started getting some things together. I packed his walker, a quilt and pillows, a picture and plaque, a hammer, some hangers and put them in the car.
I returned the bracket to mount the TV (they won't allow it right now"), got a haircut, mailed some paperwork to the insurance company and headed over to see Cowboy.
When I arrived he was in his room watching TV, was dressed, had had breakfast and was in a good mood. I worked on putting everything up and away and then we watched TV. The kids came and we had a little Christmas exchange. He asked us all to leave at 8PM. Said he was tired.
The traffic was terrible both going and coming home. Arrived home tired and a bit stressed. By the time I got relaxed and got the dog relaxed it was 11. Our pup is really wondering what is going on and spent some of day today pouting and staying under the bed. I took her for a walk and I think that helped. She and Cowboy are such a pair. I think she is really feeling sad and confused.
I slept in this morning. It was great. Spent the day cancelling his prescriptions, doing laundry, reorganizing the pantry and pulling some things out that I won't use plus reading the Sunday paper.
Have a donation for the local food pantry and a clothing donation as well. I feel a need to get things a bit organized but also a need to just decompress. Hopefully can do both.
I really wished I could have called Cowboy today. I may consider putting a telephone in his room.
