Oh!this is not the way I want to start off the New Year.
Well,not all that bad,but something is missing and got to find it.
Had my game of tennis and it was fun as always.
Then we took Mike mom out to lunch and a short ride.
She is not living in living assistance house.
Not sure how many of you ever visit these places.
It is not like a nursing home but upscale sort to speak.
These are people that have a few bucks to be able to afford this.
But something is missing here.
After we had a wonderful lunch and a short ride to the ocean which is near by and back to the home.
Got her settled in her room,in the meantime I sort of walked around and trying to socialized with the people there.Wrong!!!!!!!!
Some of them were watching TV.Just slouching and tongue hanging out.
So,I walked it and saying on!whats on the TV.?
Your not watching or looking at it.Maybe need to change the channel.
though today is a bad day for TV as all you see if Football,etc.
Do you realized how hard to try making people laugh,or just get into a conversation or sort.I do not care what they talk about,but move and get off the couch and do something.
No,these people can get up and walked around very nicely.
I told mike could not tolerate this.
Or could not handle these people for not making an effort to do something.
Not sure who the blame and could not care less.
Oh!I have to back track.While going to lunch as we pulled in the parking lot and the handicap zone to let Mikes mother out.
There was another man there trying very hard to get out and get his walker.
He moves very slowly and was a little nervous for him as I reached out to helped him as he thanks me.
So I got him inside.
How in the hell does this man drive?scary for me thats for sure.
On the way out we both left the same time as I helped him back to his car.
Said to the person if you do not want me to help and understand that you liked it to do on your own.
No,I really appreciated this and he thanked me.

I noticed that he had a few dents and scraped on his car.
Whew!this is scary for me .
Back to the home.
I have been there a few times and try,believe me try to get a smile or a laughter.Maybe they think that I am a jerk or a joke who knows.
Mike said stop trying so hard with these people.
Okay,hey they are younger than I and just want to put some life into them.
Just wanted to talk and get them away from the TV and do something instructional.
Mike says,the next time that we go.Do not say anything and see whats happening from that moment on.
But the day ended up nicely as Mike and I alone driving home on this wonderful sunny day.
Keep moving and do not sit around.Move if you can read if you can and socialize if you can.Move,move,move.Sorry,I do not mean to upset anyone.
This is me.Who knows maybe my day will come.In the meantime will fight it.
