Heavy weight boxing match.

She's back. 

I am happy to report that after a short trip to dehydration, Sweetie is back. Spent most of yesterday handing her water in a bottle, a cup, a glass with a straw to her and having her take "big sips" when she drank. I've begun to mix Gatorade with the water so she gets something extra then just water.  

If it isn't dehydration, its her medication, or her CBD, taking her potty, taking car rides, going on walks, even watching TV can become a chore. Then, when I mix in my stuff into the day, the day becomes very busy. Sometimes I'd just love to have 24 hours of solitude. 

Mr. Sundowners came a visited for a short time in the evening. Was able to bid him a farewell with some CBD, and Stress Relief Lotion. I am so happy that I found this combination 1-2 punch. Before I was using it, I'd spend hours with Mr. Sundowners and it was like a heavy weight boxing match. Now, when he shows up it is just a little sparring match. 

Going to try to play golf again this morning, and hopefully things will back to normal. Even when we are on the course, I still cannot relax, knowing that any minute Sweetie will get a visit from Mr. Sundowners. One of the things that I 've noticed is if I'm playing with other golfers, and spend time with them and not pay attention to her, she gets irritated with me, like I'm not paying attention to her and she doesn't like that. Of course she cannot tell me, I'm just a reader of her body language.  

Because of her inability to tell me what is going on with her, her emotions, what her body is doing, I'm a constant reader of her body, face, and reactions, the whole picture and trying to make sense of what she wants. 

I know my Driver doesn't have that problem with me. There are happy mornings, sad mornings and just mornings. It doesn't make a difference what type of morning it is, He is always there, waiting for me to get in, put on my cool sunglasses, buckle up, and "away we go." Off, down the Road to Dementia Town, and if necessary, flip me over, so my Shiny Side is Up. There are days when it isn't very easy to put my Shiny Side Up, I need help. I hope your Shiny Side is Up today. See you on the Road to Dementia Town as we travel together. Take Care, God Bless, and as always, Love YA.
