Bob the space cadet
Caution:
Do not believe anything Bob says, does or writes. . . .
With the various drugs that Bob is taking for pain and with his new munchie drug he seems to be on a perpetual high. Now I’m not saying this is a bad place to be, I’m just not used to it. I guess this is payback for the last 15 years when Bob has had to be my designated driver when I have over indulged in the grape!
This morning at 4:30 A.M. he got up, got dressed went downstairs, let Max out and set off the security alarm. If you have never been awaken by a horn with a siren going, you haven’t lived. This means the security company has to call and then you have to explain that everything is OK, you are just stupid and you forgot to turn the alarm off and what the secret code is. When I asked Bob why he was up, he said that it was 8:30 and he wasn’t tired anymore. He said this while he laid down on the couch and promptly went to sleep.
He is sleeping a lot (yesterday about 23 hours) and can’t seem to get his days straight. The good news is that when he is awake he eats. His cravings has been Mac and cheese and fruit salad. Very easy to provide. Paul and Annette came by today with lunch and he actually sat at the table and ate with us.
Have a Happy Easter and stay warm. I’m going to let Bob hide his own eggs and then let him hunt them down!! OK, I’m a terrible person!

I have had a surprise in the wee hours to an over zealous securit alarm, with my spouse still next to me, I can relate! Obviously it didnt alarm Max, unless he didnt make it off the deck………….Eight thirty Schmate thirty, who’s counting your retired, Right? Happy Easter as well….

I would hate to think how the rest of us would act taking that medication. We are not on it and Mike and I occasionally set off our alarm but we have no one to answer to (alarm company). Don’t be too hard on him. Have a Happy Easter.

Lets see……maybe Bob is not as loopy on his meds as Sue says! I just called the Valentines to see if I could come over later this afternoon and bring a check for Sue (I owe her some money from an outing last week). Turns out that Sue was at the dentist but Bob chatted with me for awhile. I told him why I wanted to come….he thought that was a good idea since Sue was driving around St. Charles County looking for me and her money. His sense of humor is definitely intact!!!! Plus at no time in our 15 minute conversation did he tell me to just forget paying her back and keep my money. See… I think he has some stuff pretty straight — at least, the money part!!!!
Take care both of you…….and I will bring the check over today!

Sounds like Bob made it through a weekend without a visit to the emergency room. That’s a good sign!
I’ve been telling my boys for years that when I get older and start losing my physical and mental ability, I’m going to smoke dope, eat Doritos and watch Jeopardy! Medical marijuana (SP) is legal here in CA.
