There are days when I have to remember who she was. |
Our Governor has deemed that only groups of 5 may gather, and because of this, she has now completely closed our recreation. Sweetie and me were able to get in our last round of golf till the Corona Virus threat is done.
I was really worried about our last outing on the course. Things were going well for awhile. Then she started acting like her sundowners was acting up. Was it too long on the course, and of course, I didn't have any Hemp Oil with me, so we struggled to finish.
When we got into the car, I was able to give her another dose of "Happy Medicine" and she was able to calm down again. Her sundowners are like the waves that come onto the beach.
As an old surfer, I was able to sit on my board and watch the for waves. I learned to see where they were, how big they were going to be, and if I was in the right position to catch it and get a good ride. It is the same with Sweetie. I can usually catch her sundowner wave approaching and get her her CBD and stop the crash before it happens. Then there are times when the wave has already built enough energy, that now matter what I do, it is going to be a tsunami. Oh how she suffers through those crashes. My heart just breaks as I hold her, or just talk to her, reassuring her everything will be OK. Then, there is a lifting, small at first, then it grows until she is back again.
We're going to try some more yard work today, and I have some other projects to try. My fear is, that right in the middle of whatever we are doing, she is going to take off, and I have to drop everything and chase after her. There are days when I would wish she wasn't as mobile as she is. Then on the other hand, walking with her, hand in hand is one of the greatest joy the we have left.
Speaking of joy, my Joy Master is here and is ready to go. He has some new sights for me to see. Something about a relaxing drive today. I sure could use one of those after yesterday. He's got the door open and is ready to go. So, down the Road to Dementia Town we go. Me and my Driver, tunes on the radio, cool sunglasses on, and as always, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Remember, there will always be Easter Eggs out there, if you look for them, as you too, drive yourself, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. See you tomorrow, Love Ya, God Bless.
