The sun will come up.

Sweetie and her love for flowers.

What can you say about each day when they seem to be rolling into blur? For me it seems to be the same thing, wake up between 2:30-3:30 in the morning, shuffle downstairs to turn on the coffee pot then into my office, my man cave, which is also my sanctuary where I find peace of mind, time with my Higher Power, and here with you on my blog. No matter what it, there are two ends to this life, one was the beginning, and the other is the end. How long it is to the end, is not for me to know. What is for me to know is that the sun will come up this morning, and as the day goes on, it will head westward and down to evening, then to night, where I will then sleep to wake and do it all over again. 

My life, as it is, is centered on the care and maintenance of Sweetie. Each day is filled with questions that I have to answer. For now, they seem easy enough. What to have her wear, how to get her to brush her teeth, brush her hair, check her pullups, make sure the bed is dry, what to eat?

Last night for dinner, I did something new, well it is new for us. We had the old stable dinner, pork, mixed veggies, and mash potatoes. What was different this time was I mixed the meat and veggies into the mashed potatoes. I think because it was, or looked like it was one dish, not 3 different food groups, that she just went after it and it soon was gone. Before I get all excited, I'll try it again in a day or so to see if I get the same consumption.

Because we are part of the city Senior Living department, which helps with daycare, I get a call about every 6 months, and because of that, they ask about Sweetie's health. Part of that is her weight. As of now, she has maintained the same weight for the year, and that goes for me too. I'm happy for both of us. Must be doing something right. 

Part of doing what is right is the part of getting up, and out to the car where me and my Driver will spend time together. Me and my cool sunglasses, and Him with all the Knowledge and confidence of know it all, as He drives us down the Road to Dementia Town. He knows when to take a break, when to push through and how to navigate those hairpin turns safely. So, I'm out of here, in the car, as my Driver, as He puts it in gear, driving down the road, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. May you have that kind of day, where it is easy for you to Keep Your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, God Bless.
