The Beast.....

Thursdays are the days the Beast gets dressed up twice in one day.  He dresses up in the morning because he goes out to call on people to try to get them to come to his church.  Then, in the evening, he does it all again for his church meeting.  

The problem is that he can't seem to totally dress himself.  He either needs help buttoning the top button on his shirt or the collar buttons if his shirt has them.  He also needs me to tuck in his tie under his collar in the back.  I don't know why he can't manage it unless it's that his condition is deteriorating.  He's had a problem with his fingers since his strokes and I know he has difficulty raising his arms.  I told him he needs to give up the vanity and order (or buy) larger collar sizes but you know how that can go.

Today he tried (again) to make us steaks from the present from my girlfriend.  He did a better job this time but I had to go put salt and pepper on it.  He uses a steak sauce on his but I like mine with just salt and pepper.  He did something weird though to our spinach.  I have no idea where he got the notion but he added vinegar to it and no butter.  Yuk!  It was awful!  When he said he thought it was supposed to get vinegar in it, I told him that was turnip greens.  Men!  At least he can't ruin a nuked potato...LOL!

I talked to Carol briefly yesterday.  The poor baby has problems that have to be awful for someone who spends her days in a wheelchair where sitting hurts like hell!  I know she's 10 years older than I am and a brittle diabetic but I hate the thought that she suffers so much.  She has such a good heart.  She and I share a lot of interests in common, which we discovered as we talked over the past year or more.  She works at her son's flower shop almost daily and that is hard on her most of the time.  So I can't blame her when she isn't feeling well enough to get online to talk with me at night.  All she can think about is getting horizontal for a while and relieve the pressure on her buttocks.

Today was a folding clothes day (yes, he is still enthralled with our washer and dryer) and I finished cutting out coupons for the Beast to use.  Let's see how he does.

Love you all.  Hope you had a good *hump day*.  ***Hugs***
