I'm blessed too.

Most of the Clan Macneil

This was taken just over 5 years ago. I have a print of it in my office. There just seems to be an awkwardness with this blended family. Because of internal grudges, we struggle to get us all together at one time. If it wasn't for family, I'd have one less thing to complain about. Then again, we're family. 

We had a busy bowel day, yesterday, and I was wondering what could have caused that. Then again, I had forgotten that we had sweet potato for dinner last night. It seems that squash helps to move things along. If nothing else, Sweetie is cleaned out and that is a good thing. We had a double shower day because of it, and she is good and clean. 

My biggest fears is that she gets an UTI from all the activity she is experiencing. Washing her lower regions can get rather frustrating, as I have to keep reminding her, that it's OK for me to touch her there. Reminding her who I am, and that it is my job as her caregiver to wash her there. 

Like most days, we had a good day. That is from waking to sleeping, there were good times, not so much good times, but there weren't any real bad times. From golf, to the VA for a doctor's visit, walking the mall, to home and dinner and bed. I would rate yesterday as a good day. Sweetie ate well, which is the best thing for us. 

We're going for pizza to take over to the son's house today. It's his birthday soon, so we have a gift coupon from a disk golf shop he recommended. He's off this week, and will be starting his dream job on Monday. He is blessed. 

Driver just showed up and He's telling me that I'm blessed too. When I look at what is going on, I can see those blessings, those Easter Eggs, even in dirty pullups. Who would of thunk that an Easter Egg would be hidden in that? I just have to get me out of the way, and then I can see clearly as we head up the caravan, driving down the Road to Dementia Town. Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv 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...
