Quickly to the refrigerator.

Yesterday was weird. Sweetie slept in, and that was OK, it was only after breakfast that's when things got off track. 

We were going to do our normal morning routine, when she chocked on her morning pills, and spit water all over the place. Which upset her, and her default is to go to bed. That was OK, and she slept for a couple of hours. 

When she woke up, she was still cranky and out of sorts. It seemed like no matter what I did, she just wouldn't relax. 

As a last resort, we went for a drive, I created a new way to go and watch the scenery go by. Brought water to drink to keep her hydrated, and things were getting back to normal, she even pointed out some clouds and yammered on about them. 

When we arrived back home, is was like Mr. Sundowners was waiting for us. Up and down, back and forth she went, just as restless as before our drive. It was as if the drive had never happened. 

Then I remembered she had slept through our lunch time, and I was beginning to prepare dinner. Quickly to the refrigerator, pulled out a container of applesauce, and gave it to her. Down it went, and a second one, the same. Soon, a calm came over her, she was hungry. How I wish for the days of "You know, I'm hungry, do we have anything to munch on?" It would make life so much easier. 

We went to a meeting, and then back home and to bed. Sweetie had said good bye to Mr. Sundowners and was ready and willing to go to bed. We had a small struggle getting her overnight pad on, but nothing compared to the earlier part of the day. Snuggled, kissed, and good night. 

Tell you what, if I hadn't spent the morning with my Driver, the day could have been an explosion of emotions. Trusting on His wisdom and guidance in tough situation is becoming mandatory. Even when I want to through up my hands in frustration, He's there to guide me through the situations. Like now, He's here waiting for us to finish, and off we go. Out the door, into the shiny car, buckled in and gone. Down the Road to Dementia Town. With all the twist and turns awaiting us. I have no fear, for I know Driver will navigate us through, and as always, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Are you facing those mystifying times when hands are up in frustrations? Just keep both hands on the wheel, and easy does it, as you too, travel the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping Your Shiny Side Up. TTFN, (Ta Ta For Now) Love Ya and God Bless.
