Yesterday I took George to eat at a place I used to go all the time, it’s called Karroo, in Ivy Place Mall. We talked a lot about Sharon and David. He was telling me a story about how David made a really big snowman when he came over for a visit. “It was over 6 feet tall!” (He was laughing when he told me this, he gets a kick out of how tall David is). We went there on our way to the podiatrist. Everything went great there, and we made an appointment for August.

Sharon just got into town last night. George was a little tired today. We went to lunch at Chinese Buffet and he really likes that place, he ate everything on his plate. :) I mentioned going to Wasatch Gardens but he said he just wanted to go home. I took him to Sugarhouse Park instead, explaining that he needs to get out of the house. We watched the birds on the pond, it was really windy, even the birds couldn’t fly, they just hovered. We layed under an aspen tree and looked up at the sky and the clouds. He said “it’s nice to close your eyes and just imagine”. It was nice and relaxing. (He was 100 lbs. again today).

Friday June 20, 2008

This has been a weird week. When I came over today, we spent about an hour looking for George’s hearing aid. I gave it to him and went downstairs to ease his mind (He wanted to make sure no one was home) when I came up we searched all over. He went in his room and it was in his underwear! Anyway, we had lunch at home, and then went for a drive. His weight on Wednesday was the same! 100 lbs. At least he’s staying consistent.

Today was really just a blah day. I wasn’t feeling up to par, and I don’t think George was either. We were both just kind of tired and I had a headache. We did manage to go to the store to deposit his rebate check :) and pick up some groceries. He then said that he was out of his ‘drink’ so we went to the liquor store to pick it up. (I gave him a glass of water when we got home, he put some of the whiskey in there, and it was really watered down. He didn’t drink much). Every time we leave the liquor store he says something about the Swedish massage place across the street. Today it was “I wonder if their rough, if it’s a man or woman”.

Sharon and David had some beautiful flowers delivered to George from Cactus and Tropicals yesterday for Fathers Day, they are really pretty and he really likes them! He got paid today, yeah for him! ;) We went to the bank and cashed his check, picked up a couple things at the store then went to lunch at Belgium Waffle. He said that he had never been there; he said he liked it though. We put one of the plants that he bought yesterday outside on the deck. I noticed some baby quails outside and he showed me where they live. His foot is better today. I think I want to take him to Hooters for lunch next week. I’m sure he would love it! ;)
HAPPY FATHERS DAY GEORGE!

Yesterday I weighed George (he was 100 lbs. again), we had a snack and he was telling me about how there were people over on Saturday. He really likes when people come over. We went to lunch, I wanted to take him to the nursery afterwards and on the way he wanted to go to the cemetery. We picked up some flowers at the store and went to the cemetery (he’s so thoughtful) then we went to Cactus and Tropicals and picked up a couple plants for his house. He had a hard time walking today, his foot hurt. His balance was really good today though.

I took advantage of the bad weather today (Friday), (still rainy and overcast, kind of on the cool side). We did Japanese painting today after lunch. George did really well :) He painted a tulip in the wind and showed me how to write Akimoto. I videotaped today. He didn’t eat very well; he said he had a tooth ache. We were going to go to the nursery and pick up some plants and flowers, I didn’t realize how late it was, I think we will do that on Wednesday. (He’s so sweet).

Today (Wednesday) was a cold rainy and cloudy day. George wanted to go to lunch, we visited for a bit and I told him about Sharon’s promotion, he remembered talking to her but didn’t remember the promotion. He looked nice today, before we left we took his weight and he is still the same at 100lbs. He even noticed it was the same. We went to Chinese Gourmet (his choice) and he really loaded the plate! I think it’s the most I’ve seen him eat! When we got home he said he was out of whisky (I noticed he was, but since he hadn’t been drinking all that much, I wanted to see if he would want it). He did. We left again to pick it up. I want to try the Japanese painting with him Friday.
