Another successful day! Dinner was ready and waiting when Bob walked in the door, as was his whiskey and Coke (another one of his favorite drinks). I also managed to be waiting at the door with a smile. I was so proud of myself for working out the timing tonight. The soft, soothing voice I chose to use when I greet him apparently creeps him out, so I’m going to have to find another voice that’s not so creepy. Live and learn!
Tonight I made stir fry over rice pasta. It was fairly tasty. Bob totally cheated and got up to serve himself another helping. I had to jump up from my chair and shoo him back to the table. Tonight’s conversation was easier – I allowed him to do all the talking and I just responded in a way I felt appropriate. This “Stepford” thing seems to get easier every day.
It seems we take two steps forward and one step back, though, because as I write this, Bob is downstairs vacuuming! I love when he vacuums for me (which he never used to do without being asked), but I feel torn because I know that it’s supposed to be my job now.
Well, that’s all I’ve got today. Stay tuned for tomorrow!
Good night everyone.
