I started Friday by waking up after four hours of sleep Thursday night. By the end of Thursday, I was not doing well. Thursday, I was stunned and puzzled, and flabbergasted!
At 4 am on Friday morning, turned on TV to news and it was snowing here. So, I rushed to the door and everything was covered with snow. I yelled for Tommy. He got up to look and went back to sleep.
I can relate one funny instance on Thursday. The doctor who was old, doddered in, giving me a fist bump. He also offered one to Tommy. I said, "This is Tommy." Thirty minutes into the visit, he said to me In a conversational tone, "Are you married or single?" That question always bothers me. I said, "It has been almost 50 years since I divorced, so I don't know what difference it make how I got to be single." We both laughed.
Then, he pointed a finger at both of us and said, "What is your relationship?" Tommy and I said simultaneously, "Friends." He said, "Is it platonic?"
"Sometimes." Tommy said nothing. I could not believe he would even ask the question. It was bizarre!
I related this to pt. She was horrified. She had never heard of a doctor asking anything like that. But, she laughed about my reply-'sometimes'-saying it was a perfect answer.
It is after 5 am. If I can get another 4 hours sleep, I won't sleep all day and won't need a nap.
Another funny. Back in November, I bought a roll of chocolate chip cookies to bake cookies around Thanksgiving maybe. Tommy did not want any, I was coughing and sneezing, so we did nothing. After Christmas, he said to me, "A few days ago, you said you wanted cookies" with a question in his voice. (No, I did not even remember they were in refrigerator!) So, I sliced them all and quartered each dough circle. We made a dozen and put the rest back into the refrigerator. When I went to bed at 7 pm, he got them out to cook. The man could not have done this without my teaching him the intricacies. /sm He is funny sometimes.
So, I had three warm cookies I did not have to supervise.
LOL love the "sometimes" response too! I hope you get better sleep this week!
ReplyDeleteCOL,
DeleteEveryone who has heard that is probably still laughing. Thanks.
Once while my sister and I were getting our Dad settled in a nursing facility after a hospitalization the intake worker asked if Daddy was sexually active. My sister thought they had said socially active. She answered YES and went on to list many of his church friends. I said SISTER, SOCIALLY active. We still get a good laugh over that one.
DeleteI read this to Tommy. We both laughed so hard!
