It’s so much easier to want to keep up the care after a pleasant day.
Burt awoke early but not hours early. He asked me about a half dozen times when I was leaving.
This question is usually followed by the inevitable when are you coming back.
I heard that too but for today the focus was on my departure.
He was in a pleasant mood and had no catastrophic dreams with which to contend.
I left after several assurances over when I would return.
When I spoke with him, he was dramatic but cheerful over his dire circumstances.
I said I would meet him outside which elicited his gratitude.
We had a moment in which Burt performed his anger over my being late.
He seemed to enjoy his perch in the lobby and the neighbors he saw.
We had some dinner before the PT’s scheduled appearance; I had to recuse myself to get him to focus on the physical therapy.
It went well. My further attention to his eating went smoothly.
He was fast asleep well ahead of my goal for an early bedtime.
Not a particularly stirring or eventful day. Thank goodness!
this is our life
