Jacob Jacob Jacob
Jacobs behavior has been a little strange. Weds he went to an event at the library on native Americans with a friend. Thurs he went to a dance with the group. Friday he claims he didn't go to work, he watched a movie, he called after he had his blood drawn, which he HATES, and he called again around 930. The calls were freaking me out, like there was something odd going on. Saturday we picked him up, took him with us to visit a friend, had a nice steak dinner, picked up another friend, went to target, all the while offering to go to a bonfire and then spend the night with us. He repeatedly refused. When we got back to the home, he immediately reported that he had missed dinner, and wanted to know if they had saved his. Upon learning they had not, incredulous, he asked for a snack. He ate a ton of food for dinner, and had a snack that he got at target... Piggy Boy!!! He called later on to see if I would bring him his leftover steak. I inquired whether he was allowed to have leftovers or food brought from home, and he insisted it was ok. Today, I went to visit and take him a few things to personalize his room, he was sound asleep. I was told he had been asleep for about 1.5 hours, and he continued to sleep through my rummagings for another half hour. Upon awakening, he said hi, and immediately left the room. I dragged him back and had him give me input on where he wanted his stuff hung (stuff that he had repeatedly asked for in the previous week) and I had to keep going to get him to hang out with me. Soon, it was time for dinner, and he ditched me completely. I told him I was just going to leave, and I told the house staff I'd probably be back. But I'm debating NOT going back. I have no idea what to make of all of this. I have no idea whether to take any of it as good, or bad. I have no realm of comprehension why he acts like he doesn't want anything to do with us, and doesn't hang out when people are, or at least I am, there. I know he is very routine oriented, and that's probably all this is, in which case I need to learn to not take things personally. Argh!
