Sweet things in life.

Just 4 years ago.

Instead of thinking about yesterday, and we'll get to yesterday, I thinking about tomorrow. All the stuff that I have to get done, the packing, the planning, the gassing of the car, what snakes to take, and to make sure I have CBD and Stress Relief lotion at hand. Over the years, we've made so many of these trips that it should be automatic. Throw a change of underwear, razor, toothbrush, and off. This time will be taking extra stuff to keep both me and Sweetie on the move. 

With all the road trips that we take on almost a daily bases, I'm fairly sure that Sweetie will be able to handle the time in the car. She likes the moving scenery, and from New Mexico to California, the scenery is always changing. 

I think I must be oozing something about the trip and Sweetie is picking up on it, or she is just moving into a new stage of her Dementia. She hasn't been hard to handle, just different. Lately she has been defiant when it comes to me checking her pullups, giving her her CBD and she is forgetting on how to take her meds and vitamins. She has problems with sandwich cookies, not sure if eating them whole or halves. We'll sit on the couch and I'll get the cookie jar, hand her one, and she not sure, but once she gets going, it is fun to watch her eat them. Cholate is the same thing, one bite at a time. 

It is the sweet things in life that my Driver is trying to get me to see, the Easter Eggs in everyday living. He shows me the good stuff, and how it balances all the other stuff that is going on with Sweetie. Its our daily drives down to Dementia Town. There are times when we are going through areas that look burned and wasted areas, but they too will come back to life the next time through. That is what I'm learning, that yesterday isn't a permanent, it was yesterday. Today is a new day, full wonderful things, Easter Eggs, it is my job to find them. So, sharpen my eyes to see what is coming up, sit back and relax as Driver takes the wheel. We're off for another adventure as we navigate down the Road to Dementia Town. Me and Driver, making a joyous noise, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. That's right, you can join us, as we travel together to Dementia Town. Just remember you too have to Keep your Shiny Side up. TTFN, Love Ya and God Bless.
