It is Monday and my day started with Bible Study with Mary. I then made a trip to Cold Spring to pay my car and condo insurance while in Cold Spring I stopped at one of our favorite restaurants for lunch, I don't like to eat out alone but once in a while I do.
My next stop was to see Harlan and when I got there he was looking out of his room with his jacket on and ready to go. We stopped at Sam's and I picked up a few necessities then coffee at McD. Harlan had coffee and a double cheese burger and mine was coffee and apple dippers, Harlan paid he likes to do that, I think he feels useful when he can open his billfold and pay.
Tomorrow is bath day for him and I don't know why but he doesn't like to have a bath, is that the "Little Boy" in him? In fact he called me last night and told me there was going to be a riot on Tuesday and I asked him what he meant and he reminded me that it was bath day and he had to take off all his clothes, my response is you can't take a bath with your clothes on and he just agrees with me and laughs. He also refers to bath day as "Bang Day." Several months ago he refused a bath making it difficult for staff as the only time his clothes are changed is when he has a bath and when I take him to church, his choice is to wear his clothes 24/7 that is everything including shoes and jeans, not good.
Just before I leave we have a little prayer time it seems to have a calming effect on him at least for now. Today was a good day...........Fran
