Happy Birthday to you Jazzy. I know its hard when there isn't anyone who really cares. I know Ron would wish me a Happy Birthday if I told him but 20 minutes later he had forgotten. So treat yourself to something indulgent!
It wasn't such a bad birthday. I have my condo up for sale so I spent much of the morning getting it ready. I picked up hubby and he took me out for lunch. I ordered our lunches and drinks. He was very good. When the waitress brought the bill he asked me if he could have the credit card so he could pay. I gave it to him but he had no idea how to work the " d**n machine" so I walked him through it. He had asked me to order a clock about two months ago and I was really pleased that he remembered it but I found out that he put a memo on his computer to remind him today. Sneaky guy! He was telling me about a resident that screams and yells all the time unless her son is there but when she sees my guy she lights up and smiles. Her room us beside the meeting room where they gather about twelve residents for drinks and fun. Hubby asked if he could turn her chair so she could join in and they were hesitant but said ok. Well this lady had a great time. No yelling but laughed and tried to sing with them. He was so happy for her. He can be so testy and mean at times and so loving with the ones like her. I just don't understand this disease. His memory is getting shorter and he is sometimes having trouble making sentences. He sleeps quite a bit now and tires fast.
I'm moving to a senior mobile home park closer to Hubby. It has snow and grass removal at a minimum cost and a clubhouse with lots of activities and there are a number of couples with one of them with dementia. They are very friendly and everyone waves or comes over to talk and I can take my Yorkies. Everyone seems to have a a pooch. I lived in mobile homes for years on military bases so no concerns. Price is right as well.
Price is right is always good. I too have lived in double wide manufactured. I wish I could afford a single wide but can't unless I sell the MH for enough to buy one.
