3:30Am and up and ready to go....
William is up and says that he feels like he would like to throw up. I decide that it will be best to sit up rather than lie down. So I assist him to the recliner. He feels much better. I get him him into Netflix. He was watching FDR last night and wanted to continue with Truman. I convinced him continue in the morning. I had no idea that we would want to watch it at 3:30AM. Who knows....??? He is really into history programs. He had me watching Dolly Madison last night.
He is watching Netflix via the wii. So he is getting to learn about that. The wii has a great picture. It actually works better for me than having the computer connected to the TV. William is able to choose and pick what he wants to watch by himself.
William loves to watch movies that are real. Like real history and nature and science. This is good. I am one of those that will veg out in front of nonsense. This is so much better for William's cognitive growth.
It is supposed to rain today. So , I will probably have william do some wii stuff at home. I am really enjoying the wii.
My new job is different. So far I am enjoying it. We have been getting out of training early every day. WE are expected to do alot of reading on our own at home. Since I have been getting home early. I have been taking William to the pool. This is good. He doesn't want to go...but he does go with me.
William is really enjoying his new caretaker. She is younger and is able to take him to the YMCA and enjoys helping him at the yoga and pilates classes. She also knows how to use the wii and direct tv. So when he has trouble she is able to fix it. This is so nice. Younger people really are into all of the new stuff. She has an Ipad. I will try to learn about that from her.
I had put in an application for a Cavlier King Charles Spaniel. But, they are not taking apps for the one that is in Austin. I will continue to look and wait for that particular dog. I have read that it will be a excellent companion dog. That is what I want for William.
I do enjoy getting out of the house and leaving for work. It is good for my emotional health. The other classmates are a joy to get to know. William enjoys the time with his new caregiver and she is bringing him out to meet other people. I do believe that this is the best thing for both of us. We both need a break from each other. My appetite is coming back and my anxiety is almost gone.
My new caregiver, went and renewed the handicapped placards for me. She took william with her and they had a great day out. William even took her to lunch. That is amazing. He usually only wants to go out and eat with me.
Change is what life is all about. William is adapting well and so am I.
Christmas is almost upon us. I have not done much about that. The commercial part of Christmas is not my cup of tea. I do love the Christmas carols and the Christmas services.
I realize that all of us have to adapt to change. It is really hard to accept. The emotional component really plays with our physical body. The saying mind over matter is true.
I need to try to do some of my reading. I am trying read up on medicare part D. I am supposed to become an expert on medicare part D. Let's see how this goes. Reading government papers on medicare part D is not alot of fun. But, here goes.
