A welcome change

Today was spent rather quietly. Gilly received a couple of guests, but refused a couple of other offers. His vision bothers him terribly, and this seems to affect his desire to socialize.

Hunger was about the same as yesterday; he had 3 relatively solid meals with some supplements. He took a short walk this morning and went on a boat ride with Tamara and Max in the afternoon. He was very tired, and slept for a few hours before dinner.

I have passed some of my ‘hovering’ onto Tamara, and it makes for a nice break. I have her check on her dad's status periodically, and she's elected to invite him to eat. This allows me to move out of ‘mother’ mode and back into plain ordinary ‘wife’ mode for a time, and I find the change refreshing. Gilly responds positively, and I sincerely hope Tamara doesn’t mind acting as stand-in for a while. I trust she understands and is pleased to help in any way she can.
