Rough Road Ahead.

As I begin this days adventure on the Road to Dementia Town, I have to stop and wonder about what this day will bring. Yesterday was a real mix bag of emotional upheavals and times that just didn't make sense. 

I've mentioned that Sweetie has been getting up earlier which has made me adjust my day to something new. Yesterday morning, she didn't get up early, so I woke her up. All seemed well. We had our breakfast, and headed towards the golf course. Her memory has gone to the point that she no longer remembers the word "golf" and is asking what it is. She comes along because I'm taking her. 

We teamed up with a couple and the lady was just beginning to learn how to play. It was slow, as a matter of fact, it was too slow. Sweetie became irritated, and we went on without them. The damage had already been done, sundowner was with us. She wanted to walk over to other groups of golfers and of course I wouldn't let her and we cut our game short. 

After that, and getting her some CBD, we headed for the mall, they were suppose to open. The stores at the wall with opening to the outside of the mall were open. There wasn't anyway to get in and walk inside the mall. Another disappointment. 

We went home, had lunch, took our walk, and then we went off for a 2 hour drive. Things seem to be leveling off until evening. Sundowners fired up again. Found out, rain doesn't stop sundowners. Where as in her calm state, she avoids water, in sundowners, it doesn't stop her at all. The difference is amazing, once sundowners has stoked the fires of getting out and needing to talk to someone besides me, it doesn't stop at anything. 

I got her back into the house, and she headed for the back bedroom with her Dumbo animal. I stayed up and guarded the front door, knowing she would de-pressurize and come looking for me. It didn't take long, before she was with me, upstairs, undressed, clean pullups, and into bed. It was to say the least, a long day. 

It will be OK, Diver tells me. He knows the construction sites on the road we are traveling and He knows the detours that we will have to make as we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. You too, watch out for those construction sites as you drive Keeping Your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, God Bless.
