Saturday night has long been a traditional pizza and movie night. Kind of a "date night" for me and Jim. Ordering out at our favorite local establishment or making our own at home. I got so I would buy a plain cheese pizza and dress it up different every week. We have experimented with Greek pizza, chicken wing pizza, veggie pizza, Philly cheese steak pizza, polish kielbasa pizza, taco pizza - you name it and I will put it on a pizza shell.
Feeling that Jim needs an occasional change with his environment, I want to make the times we spend together a little more special, bringing dinner some nights to change up from the dining room with residents.
I told him Thursday that I was bringing pizza for dinner on Saturday and we would have one of our usual pizza and a movie night. He said "Oooo can I have a beer too?" I told him I would ask. I think he's looking forward to it.
Today I called the nursing home to ask before bringing a beer into Jim. They pretty much said what we don't know wont hurt us.
So I bought some chicken wings and cooked them up with my hot sauce, bought a traditional pizza with sausage and pepperoni and of course some Labatt's Blue. We don't have a VCR in Jim's room but he will watch any movie that is on TV, so Saturday will be a date night for Jim & I. We can munch our pizza, sip our beer and hold hands while watching our movie.
And like any good date, when the movie is over I will give him a kiss goodnight and go home like a good girl!
