Yesterday I woke Kate about 11:45. She was sleeping soundly and did not get right up. Our housekeeper was here, and I wanted her to change the sheets in our bedroom. In addition, I had made a 2:00 appointment for Kate to have a massage, so I got her up after twenty minutes or so. I had gotten her clothes out so that she wouldn’t have any trouble finding something to wear. I went to check on her just as she got out of the shower. I showed her the clothes and started to leave. She wanted me to stay. She doesn’t do this a lot, but sometimes she wants me to be around in case she needs help. I know it may not be long until this becomes a new routine.
It was 12:50 before we left for lunch. We went to Panera since it was convenient to our house and the spa where she gets her massages. After her massage, we came back home for about an hour before going to Barnes & Noble. We were there until 5:15 when we went to Bonefish Grill for dinner.
It was an unusual day in that Kate did not ask me to tell her anyone’s name. She was somewhat quieter but seemed to be in good spirits. After dinner, each of our children called which provided a nice boost. Then I got out Kate’s night clothes and put on a DVD of Fiddler on the Roof. She continued to work jigsaw puzzles on her iPad while the movie was playing, but she was listening and enjoying the music. It wasn’t long before she was sleepy. We called it a day.
It is now 9:30. I just looked in on her. She is still sleeping soundly. Since this is a day for the sitter, I would like her to get up before 10:30. That will give her enough time to get ready for the day so that we can have lunch together before the Mary arrives. I will probably wake her if she doesn’t get up on her own. I am hoping she responds more enthusiastically about Mary’s being here than she did on Monday with Anita.
