MIXED UP DAY-HALF GOOD-HALF NOT SO GOOD

MIKE STARTED THE DAY OFF YESTERDAY VERY MUCH LIKE THE DAY BEFORE.  HE WAS UP BY 8AM, AND SEEMED IN GOOD SPIRITS.  HE ATE HIS BREAKFAST ALL GONE, AND THEN HE SAT OUT ON THE BACK PORCH FOR A BIT.  WHEN HE CAME IN, HE LOOKED TIRED, AND WANTED TO SIT IN HIS RECLINER.  I TRIED TO GIVE HIM SOME LUNCH FIRST, BUT HE DECLINED.  HE THEN FELL ASLEEP AROUND 11AM, AND STAYED ASLEEP (DESPITE NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS, T.V. BEING ON, AND THE DOGS BARKING) UNTIL ALMOST 7PM.  I BROUGHT HIM SOME DINNER TO HIS RECLINER, AND HE STAYED THERE TILL AROUND 9PM WATCHING THE MAGIC UNTIL HE CAME BACK TO BED.  IT IS EARLY (6AM), BUT HE IS SLEEPING NICELY, AND I COULDN'T STAY IN BED ANY LONGER.  BELIEVE ME, I DO TRY, BUT IT JUST ISN'T EASY FOR ME RIGHT NOW.  I USE TO BE SUCH A GOOD SLEEPER TOO-HOW THINGS CHANGE (WHETHER WE WANT THEM TO OR NOT).  TODAY MIKE'S HOSPICE NURSE PEGGY WILL BE HERE, AND I WILL SEE WHAT SHE MAKES OF THE WHOLE SITUATION.  SHE HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL-NOW I FEEL IT WAS A GOOD CALL TO BRING HOSPICE ON BOARD-EVEN THOUGH I WAS AGAINST IT AT FIRST.  OH, HERE IS A LITTLE UPDATE ABOUT THE CHIHUAHUA I GOT FOR MY NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES ALONE AND REALLY NEEDED A PET.  SHE HAS TAKEN TO BUDDY (DOGS NAME), AND EVEN THOUGH HE IS STILL AFRAID OF HIS OWN SHADOW, HE NOW IS STARTING TO TRUST HER, AND SHE TOLD ME THAT HE NOW FOLLOWS HER ALL AROUND THE HOUSE, AND IS EATING REALLY GOOD FOR HER.  I WAS SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY FOR THEM BOTH.  I WAS HOPING THINGS WOULD WORK OUT THIS WAY, AS THEY BOTH NEED A LOT OF LOVE.  WELL, THAT IS IT FOR ME THIS AM, EVEN MY YUMMY CAFE' CON LECHE' HAS NOT PERKED ME UP THIS AM.  SO TILL TOMORROW MY DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS-LOVE, LAUGH, AND ENJOY THIS DAY.  JUST ME
