TIME OUT

I GUESS THE LATEST FINDING ON MY PART, IS THE LACK OF REASONING POWER ON MIKE'S PART.  THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS WHERE I CAN SEE THAT HE IS JUST NOT ABLE TO GRASP WHAT IS GOING ON OR BEING SAID. EXAMPLE: WHILE SHOPPING AT PUBLIX, I ASKED MIKE WHAT TIME IT WAS, AS WE HAD TO BE BACK HOME FOR MY SISTER'S VISIT.  HE FIRST SAID 2:45PM, WHICH I KNEW COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE CORRECT AS WE LEFT THE HOUSE AT 1:15PM AND HAD JUST GOTTEN TO PUBLIX. HE LOOKED AT HIS WATCH FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE 10 MINUTES (TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CORRECT TIME WAS) THEN, (UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE TIME HIMSELF), HE PROCEEDS TO TAKE OFF HIS WATCH AND HAND IT OVER TO ME. ANOTHER EXAMPLE: THE GARAGE DOOR.. I WATCHED HIM TRY AND CLOSE IT FOR THE LONGEST TIME, AND IT WOULD KEEP GOING BACK UP. I TRIED TO TELL HIM THAT AFTER YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. SADLY, HE JUST DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING, SO I HAD TO PHYSICALLY SHOW HIM WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO.  LAST EXAMPLE:  I SUFFER FROM NIGHT TIME LEG CRAMPS (SOMETIMES QUITE SEVERE), AND THAT WAS THE CASE NIGHT BEFORE LAST. I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN I WAS CRYING AND PANTING-I COULDN'T MOVE, SO I ASKED MIKE TO PLEASE BRING ME MY PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE ON MY NIGHT STAND SO I COULD TAKE ONE.  HE BRINGS ME TWO PACKAGES OF GUM, AND ASKS "IS EITHER OF THESE IT"??  ANY OTHER TIME, I WOULD HAVE SEEN THE HUMOR IN THAT-STILL, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE HIS EFFORT TO HELP ME. WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE A RAINY DAY HERE, SO I THINK I CAN SMELL A BACKGAMMON MARATHON COMING ON!!! ENJOY YOUR DAY-JUST ME
