Sleep, too much or not enough.

The best Sweetie ever. 

Had a semi-good day yesterday. I let Sweetie sleep in, and that in itself may have been the beginning of a bad evening. 

After I got her up, I headed her towards the shower. After the shower, trimmed her nails and cut her hair. I'm getting better at cutting her hair. Before I was afraid of making mistakes and she would look silly. Now, it is just learning how to trim around the ears and back of the neck. I'm still amazed with how curly her hair is. 

Tried having bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. Because she cannot cut the bacon, I tried chopping it up and put it in with the eggs. It worked, but was too much of a hassle for her. We got it done, and that was good. 

Because she basically eats what I put in front of her, I've been thinking of trying other foods. It seems like she doesn't know what it is, and eats because I give it to her. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, snack, are all words that have no connection to what she eats. If I skip a meal, she doesn't notice it. I'm the one that keeps the food schedule and what we eat. 

Our trips to the zoo are getting short. Because they have all the indoor exhibition closed, and most of the walkways closed, we usually spend more time getting to the zoo then being in it. Still, taking food for the ducks and fish does have its good times. There are Canadian Geese that are bold enough to eat out of my hand, which gives Sweetie great delight to watch. She is afraid to try and that is fine. I have gotten her to toss some food into the water, but after two or three times, she is bored and doesn't want to do it anymore. 

When we are home, she seems to want to sleep more and more. There were times yesterday, where she would go back to the back bed room, crawl into bed, and 5-10 minutes later, be back with me in the living room. 

When she did go down for the night, it was early and I was worried she'd get up in the middle of the night. Plus we had a battle royal getting her night pad on. I hate those evenings. I know that if I don't get her pad on, I'm in for a wet bed in the morning. We haven't had one of those since we starting using overnight pads. I just hate the war they create when putting them in. 

Time for me to get refreshed, and I'm ready. Driver is waiting for me and so I'm off. Going to get my cool sunglasses and into the passenger's seat we go. Down the Road to Dementia Town, singing hymns and praise songs, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Hope you can carry a tune as you drive down your Road to Dementia Town, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Love Ya, and God Bless.
