Troubles are enough for today.

This is the closest she ever got to Chip and Dales.

Well, today is the day we are going over to the oldest daughter's for a visit. We haven't been there since Christmas. I'm a little apprehensive about going there. We have never been close over the years her mom and I have been married. I'm not the greatest at mending relationships, and that is part of the problem. Great at building walls, not taking them down. 

I had a friend that would turn to me for advice about his wife. They had a contentious marriage and after listening to his complaining about their relationship, I told him that they needed to stop building walls between them. And start taking them down. That is the hardest thing to do. Taking down walls must be done one brick at a time. If you bulldoze it down, the other person will build it back up just as fast as you tear it down. This will be the first brick. 

It was really windy yesterday, so instead of playing golf, we took along drive. They work, but not as good as walking. Walking is the whole package for Sweetie. She is out, we are together, and she gets to burn off energy that sundowners won't be able to use. 

In the afternoon, the wind died down, so we took a walk. She wasn't happy about the wind, but I encouraged her until we got one in. She started to slow down and that was a sign she was almost to end of her energies. This is where water becomes a battle. I can tell she is de-hydrated and needs water, but she is repelled by it. We were able to finish our walk, and she went right to bed as soon as we got home. 

Here is where she gets confused. She is tired, hungry and thirsty, and I have to put all the pieces together. Had dinner and then up to bed. After I got her in bed, she kept wanting me to leave. Time for Hemp Oil. This is now my go to when she is tired and confused. Soon, she was asleep, and I could relax and sleep myself. 

It's morning and I'm here, with my Driver, talking about the day ahead. He brought a bag with a label that says "Trouble, enough for today." He says put all my troubles in it, and throw it into the trunk. It will be there anytime I want to pull it out and go through them. Other wise, lets get going. Here's my cool sunglasses, and He says I'll need them because the of the brightness of the day. Into the car, sliding in on the passengers side, and off we go. Down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. If you throw your troubles in the trunk, you to can take them out, if you think you need to, as you travel the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. Well, that's all for now. See Ya Later, Love Ya, and God Bless.
