Goosebumps!

What an unbelievable day! I know there will be days yet to come that top today but...............

Because of my clock issue, I arrived a bit after 7AM. Expecting to sneak in and quietly read for a bit, MaryEleanor was staring at me. "Tie your gown", something I have never done as I kinda like it to fall off the shoulder a bit, was her first of many orders. We talked up a storm all morning. ME made me slow down every so often as I was doing a core dump of information. It's been just over three months since we shared such a conversation.

ME picked out another Diane outfit to wear today after I complied with her "show me the neckline and does it button up the front" line of questions. Knowing she had a bit of therapy today and some potential visitors, MaryEleanor let us know she wanted to get into her chair. Caitlin and Dayton arrived with fresh flowers for the week. Don't worry, the "509'ers" flowers are still there! Fingernails were the project and Caitlin and Dayton delivered big time. When asked who did the best job, ME felt each finger and promptly pointed to Dayton! What kinda guy files your nails?

Early afternoon brought way too much estrogen into ME's room for me to handle. ME's quickie therapist for the day showed up, female. ME's Mom, Elaine, Ele and Ann Ledlie all arrived at the same time. I bailed! Caitlin graciously invited me over for a bowl of yummy, homemade chili and cornbread.

I returned when ME was settled in for the evening. We continued our conversation, taking breaks for naps and reading. Knowing that Dayton was going to pay yet another visit, I kissed the love of my life goodbye for a few days, feeling confident she is well cared for and loved by all who enter her room.

Two of her rocks from Yakivegas, Judi and Rhonda, will be with ME tomorrow, way cool!

I asked MaryEleanor tonight if she would like to go out with me.................you have to understand I am constantly courting her! Thirty plus years in the making and I am still nervous!
