Back to What Passes as Normal

After Margaret's bad start on Friday morning, in the afternoon she was back to her normal placid self and the rest of the day passed peacefully.

Saturday was also very quiet. Margaret was still good natured and easy to manage. I wonder if Friday's bad start was due to her having a brief moment or two of reality and rebelling against her normal confused self. Looking after Margaret is normally like looking after a toddler where a firm loving attitude works very well. On Friday she was like a rebellious teenager and I have plenty of experience with that. I heard a great quote on the radio yesterday:

“God gave us marriage so that we would have someone we know to fight with!”

I don't even get the fights these days and our conversations are all very unusual. Yesterday after one rambling utterance from Margaret I told her that I didn't understand what she was trying to say. To my amazement she replied, “No I have noticed that you don't understand much these days!”

Today Sunday has started very quietly and I intend to rest up and read.
