You can never have enough...

I have to raise my hand and say I haven't been nice to two roosters in the past.

Im afraid I dont take things kindly when I have the claws of two feet flying directly at my shins. One got the tomahawk and they other a very quick ending with a sheep crook. And neither got eaten , which these days would be shocking. But then there were kids around, they had to be stopped.

Went to get Bobbie and she was having a lay down on her bed. So she got changed and I made her wrap up warm. I showed her where I lived, where she used to live and took her shopping. She has no memory of the new supermarket, yet it is where she would have shopped. Took her into the Smellies isle as I call it and made sure she had a nice cleanser, day and night cream, toothpaste, deodorant and shampoo. Then I took her through the self service, which she thought was clever lol. Spent $38 but more importantly saved her just over $20. The Scottish and Dutch is in me too lol.

On my way to her, the Boss at where MrP is rang. He has been told off, and is on a short leash, including being told if his behavior doesn't improve he will be kicked out or they will get the police. By the time I was done with Bobbie and the girls I had calmed down. I knew reading him the riot act wouldn't help things.

So I went in and sat on his bed, he snapped what? I said That.! Told him off.. Told him to draw a line under it and forget it. But I also told him he had to apologise to the Boss.. And I told him if he wants to come home to see Madam then he will have to get off his butt and start walking again. He said I need help. I said well ask for it.. So I asked for the manager to come in which she did. He apologized,, Which is a First. I have never in nearly 35 years see him apologise to Anyone.

And he stopped.. and I said AND? and he said he needs help, he wants to walk.. but he knows he needs help to do it..

I have Never seen him apologise or ask for help.. Ever..!!! So now the ball is in his court. He knows its up to him.

I dont feel as smug as I thought I would. Im proud of myself for keeping calm and not blowing my stack at him. I didn't cry.. even when he said he knows he is wrapped in his mothers and my love when he has his green blanket around him, cos her money paid for it and I did the work.. I was close but didn't.

So its been a rather odd day, odd in a good way. And probably one I will always remember. lol
