Jerry and John just left the house a few minutes ago. Today is the first day I’ve had to myself in my own house in weeks. I’m just all giddy about it! I am officially taking the day off of researching and blogging. (Accept this one.)

Just a quick bit of good news. After getting Jerry dressed this morning, I was feeling a bit tired. ALREADY. (remember, I was writing the previous blog at 3:30am.) Jerry was fairly perky, so I asked, “Jerry, how would you feel if I brought someone in to get you showered and dressed everyday?” I reminded him that his brother, Jimmy, had someone in to get his mother bathed and dressed. Jerry, said, “I guess so.” I tried not to get TOO EXCITED, but calmly asked, “Do you want a girl or a guy? I know, if you it’s a girl, you want it to be a pretty one.” He didn’t get it. Anyway, I asked, “Does it matter to you if it’s a girl or a guy?” He said, “no.”

SO YIPPI! I know he won’t remember the conversation, but I will gently remind him from time to time.

I’m taking this as a YES. YES! YES!
