It is all set up to close on the new house on the 21st.  As far as I know everything is done.

I went to see Cowboy yesterday.  There are still a number of residents that are ill but the memory unit is about past it so we were able to have lunch and visit.  He had a touch of the bug but was not really sick just some stomach upset.  That is a relief.  I explained to him about moving again and he just looks at me.  Not sure is registering. I told him I was packing and he asked me "what are you packing?"  I explained again and he asks me again "what are you packing?"

I also told him I was going on a trip to Costa Rica.  He just said "OK".  It is interesting how much his not caring about anything affects you.  I noticed it first when one of the grandsons said "he just doesn't seem to care about me !".   That was some time ago but it is more and more true.   I try to explain it is the disease but it seems hard for them to accept.

I have quit packing for the moment.  Must concentrate on getting ready for my trip.  A different kind of packing.  I have not thought much about what I am going to take but I think I have bought everything I need.  Sun screen - check, insect repellent - check, bathing suit - check, shorts - whoops, better try them on.  Anyway I will get that done today and then will leave really early in the AM.

I am not sure if I will have a chance to post while I am away.  I understand there is internet access at the hotels but don't know the cost, etc.  Will return on the 20th, but have to leave early on the 21st to go to Dallas to close the house and start there.

I am off to get the car filled up and washed and then have to pick up a prescription, then home to get things ready to go.
