March 20, 2014  Happy Occurrences 

1.  Slept so late, woke up at 10:55.  Supposed to pick Bob up at noon for funeral.

2.  Fastest I've moved for a long time, left the house showered and shampoo'd at 11:30, got to Walcott at 12:02.  Whew............. just made it.

3.  Saddest funeral I've ever been to, the people, the music, the preacher.  Sad, sad, sad.  

4.  Thought that eating lunch in a new place would lift our spirits, so I suggested Mickey's Cafe in Bettendorf.  We drove by and no cars, must not be open, Bob said.  So I suggested the Crane and Pelican in LeClare, drive by, no cars in front, must not be open, Bob said.  There were cars in the back at both places, it was 3:30 pm so no cars in front, I'm sure both places were open.  Trying to get him to try something new is futile.  Ended up at Sneeky Pete's.  It was good, but not new.

5.  He gets so upset, yells a lot.  I was trying to give him directions from the gps in my phone and I guess I wasn't talking loud enough, so I spoke up and got accused of yelling at him.  Can't win, not today. Getting worse, but he won't even consider talking to the doctor. 

6.  Alzheimer support group meets at Bickford on Tuesday evening.  I'm going whether or not he goes.  Need to do something to help understand what his dad is feeling and what Bob is feeling about his dad.
