Few hours of tranquility.

Sweetie loved rosters. 

Its cold outside. The weather seems to have gone straight from pleasant cool autumn to cold winter. It looks like because of the temperatures being a low as they are, outside activities maybe curtailed. 

It is strange how Sweetie seems to be two different people. In the morning, she is becoming more of a curmudgeon then the sweet woman I know and love. The breakfast routine continues. So, I'm looking for something that she will be willing to eat. For now, I'll just have to muddle through, but her apatite does seem to improve as the day goes on. 

I was able to get her in the shower yesterday. I did the old routine of "I'm going to take a shower, you like to join me?". She was more than willing to get into the shower with me. Another reason I am persistent about the shower is, I can get her naked and on the scale. I track her weight at least once a month and am happy to report, she weights the same 114lbs for the past 3 months. She is skinny, but she still maintains that weight. Maybe I shouldn't be that concern of her eating habits yet. Weight consistency seems to be under control.

It is when she wakes up and is light headed when she sits up, and the length of time for her to get her feet under herself is what is the real problem. She is like an old car that you have to start over and over again before it's motor fires up and stays running. 

Last night was a wonderful time. After dinner, she stepped in and started washing the dishes. Yes, I said washing the dishes. So, I picked up the towel and dried and put away. After that we sat and cuddled on the couch until bed time. It was as if I was being rewarded for taking care of her. An Easter Egg for sure. 

And there He is again, for all the trouble, for all the heartache, He washes it away with a few hours of tranquility. I know my Driver was in total control last night, and with that grin on His face, He knows that I know. I know that there are also more curves ahead, and as long as He is behind the wheel, it is going to be OK. As we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, sitting back in the passenger's seat, with my cool sunglasses on, we are gone, with our Shiny Sides Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
