Rob has left the building

He is angry with me. I am sick today, slept till noon after being awake all night, and feeling wretched.

But he needed to go shopping, so I took him.

He wanted to go to the Canadian Tire store for new wipers for my truck, as well as groceries.
  
So I pulled into Canadian Tire first, and he asked why. I said, "I thought you wanted to go here first?" OK whatever, he doesn't care, he says.

But I walk in, and the store is packed with Christmas shoppers and the checkout lines are crazy!

I feel like I am going to pass out, so I head for the exit, I can't deal with this!

He says we don't have to go thru those lines, so I turn back, willing to try his way.

But now he is furious and goes storming out! Ok, on to the grocery store.

So, he is grumping all through the grocery store, keeping out of my line of vision, so I have to keep turning and look for him.

It wore me out even more, and it was a relief to get out of the store.

But as soon as we got home, he walked out, saying he was going out for a while. I didn't bother to try to stop him this time, l can barely stand.

So far, he has walked to McDonald's, and has been there for 40 minutes - according to the Life360 app.

I wish I was allowed time to be sick.

FOLLOW-UP: So, he ended up coming back home after about an hour. I was on the couch trying to watch TV since he came home, but he barely said a word to me. So still mad at me.

I keep falling asleep, so I didn't make any dinner. I told my son to make himself hotdogs for his dinner
My husband ate some pretzels and said he was going to bed at 9pm.

He usually stays up till midnight.

I've decided to let him stay mad if that's what he wants. I usually try to jolly him out of it, even apologize when it's not my fault - but I am feeling too sick to care.


THE NEXT DAY: After going to bed 3 hours early last night, he is just getting up now - almost 15 hours later. I felt terrible that I didn't even what to go check on him.

Tip #4: Keep a “To Go” kit ready and easy to grab

Tip #4: Keep a “To Go” kit ready and easy to grab Your To Go kit should include two main groups of things. Photo courtesy of Pexels. One group will include paperwork, such as: Advance health-care directives such as a Living Will and copies of the medical order forms Common medical orders forms such as the DNR (Do-Not-Resuscitate) and POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment) A medication list A copy of your medical power of attorney form It’s never a bad idea to have a copy of their ID card and insurance card as well The other main group of things to put inside of your To Go bag are items that will make the ER visit less boring for you and for your person — things that might make you both more comfortable. For you, items like a phone charger, book, snacks and water — maybe a small travel blanket or neck pillow. Also pack a pen or pencil and pad of paper to take notes and document important things. For your person, take something that makes them comfortable or reminds t...

a not-so-fun experience...

We went grocery shopping yesterday, and first we went to Shoppers Drug Mart to buy pop on sale. We picked up a few more items on sale. We had brought in a cloth shopping bag, so he put our purchases in there. Then we went to the Superstore for the rest of our groceries, and he carried in the plastic bins we use when grocery shopping, and put them into the shopping cart. When I went to put something into the bin while we shopped, I realized he had moved some of the Shopper's purchases (bacon, hotdogs, eggs) into the bins, and brought them in with us! No idea why?? So I am feeling a bit panicky, thinking how will I get them out of the store without having to pay for them again!? I tried to explain the problem to him, so he grabs them and starts heading for the door, saying he will take them back to the car. No! You can't just walk out with them! Visions of him being arrested for shoplifting! So he gives them back to me and takes off to look for the receipt in the car. Back...

A good day

  We got our MRI appt for my LO! This Wednesday evening, so that was quick! We needed that done so he could see the Cognitive Neurologist, who is only in the memory clinic office one week a month. So, if we missed this one in September , we would have to wait another month. We had a good day yesterday, I printed out the paperwork for Advanced Directives, and we went thru that, and it brought up MAiD, and he decided that was something he wanted if it was available in the future. Then he decided to start clearing out the garage. It is a work in progress, but in the past, it's been hard because he wouldn't let go of anything, and I felt overwhelmed every time I went in there by all the stuff. But now he doesn't remember that some of it belongs to him, he was sure it was all my son's - so it was a lot easier to get rid of stuff. Some is going to the dump, and some we are putting up on a local free site.
