Good day all in all.


 Sweetie. 

Good morning all. Yesterday was a mixed bag of goodies. Over all, it was a good day. Because there isn't anything pressing on Sundays, I let Sweetie sleep in. There isn't any real need to get her up earlier then she gets herself up. I never know what she will put on before she comes down. There are times when she come down in her PJs, or most of the time she shows up in her jeans. The first thing we do is take her right back upstairs to the bathroom and change her pullups, and lately, putting us in the shower to wash her, We don't do her hair, just her body, and she seems to like it. 

As of now, I feel lucky that we haven't had any IUDs. I feel like the reason is because of my taking care of her hygiene. In my support groups, I've heard horror stories about their wives and IUDs. May later when I get more nonchalant about her, it might happen. As of now, I know she needs me to take care of her more and more. Even when she doesn't think she needs my help, I know better. 

Last night was one of those weird nights. Around 5 and before dinner, she started walking around the house, looking in each of he rooms and just wandering. I thought it might be a good time to walk around the neighborhood just for a little bit. That didn't do the trick. 

She wanted to go to bed, so, we went through the ritual of getting her ready, putting in her overnight pad, and then to bed, and down she went. 

I finished making dinner for myself, and put some away incase she got up. And she did. I was so glad that I had something for her to eat. She ate it all gone. We finished the evening watching some TV, and then to bed. It was a good day all in all. 

My good days always start with a drive. My Driver is aware of my state of mind, heart and knows my worries. It is best to get started on the right foot. The way for me, is to spend time with my Driver, sometimes just sitting quietly, and taking it all in. There is peace and I get to marinate in it while He is driving down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. How are you doing, is today a marinate day? What ever it is, just remember as you travel down your Road to Dementia Town, that you Keep your Shiny Side Up. Drive safely, take care, and remember I Love Ya, and God Bless.

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...
