Ravished by Mr. Sundowners

My Sweetie

Do you know the feeling of knowing that the decision you made was the right one? How it can lift the weight off your shoulders? That is what I feel like this morning. 

Having made plans for a caretaker to come in and be with Sweetie on Friday, seems so freeing. And now that I've made that decision, I'm thinking of doing it every two weeks. At least until daycare opens up again. (which I don't think is going to happen anytime soon.) It gives me an opportunity to have some "Me" time. 

During the interview, we talked about giving medicine, and what they are trained to do, and what they don't do. I told them about CBD and the Stress Relief lotion, on how it works in concert to relieve sundowners symptoms. They were impressed and said that they never heard of this before. Who knows, may have opened up another pathway of comfort to someone that is being ravished by Mr. Sundowners. 

Yesterday was adding another pearl on the mundane neckless. No real ups or downs. We even played some extra holes on the golf course. which was nice for a change. If this new caregiver works out, I just might be able to play a complete 18 holes for a change. 

Well I've got my plans for the day, and the first and foremost plan is to spend time with my Driver. He is the one that puts my plans into prospective. He knows what is down the road, so He can equip me to make the best choices. And as if on que, here He is. The car is shinned up and off we go. Got those cool sunglasses on, and safely buckled in, with a roar of the engine, off we go. Motoring down the Road to Dementia Town with our Shiny Side Up. Hope you have your seat belt on as you go, remember, it is the Shiny Side that needs to be Up on your Road to Dementia Town. Drive safely. Take care, Love Ya, and God Bless.

I am now going through the sundowners with my mama could you tell me what you use to help.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
