Mr. Sundowners

At the zoo

This is the most recent picture of my Sweetie. I've been searching where the pictures went, when I down load them from my phone. As you can see, I found them. If I didn't, I still have the other pictures. I'm thinking of backing them up on a memory stick, just for safe keeping. I have a friend that damaged his hard drive, and lost all the pictures that were stored on it. Unlike this blog, which is off my machine, all my memories are loaded here. 

Switching from daylight savings to standard time, and for whatever the reason, it is hard on Sweetie. When I went up to get her, she was already up and dressed. Bad for me, because I still need to change her pullups. It was a small battle and of course I won, but it set the tone for the morning. Mr. Sundowners was waking up. 

Even though I started her off with a dose of Hemp Oil, she wasn't responding as usual. 

I found our waffle maker and thought we'd have waffles for breakfast. It was not a good idea. She was into her "I don't know how to do it." mode. I cut up her waffle, and she did eat. They weren't that good, gonna have to thin out the batter next time, but she ate them anyway. 

The strange behavior was after breakfast, we sat and watched our Sunday church show. When it was over, I tried to get Sweetie to come with me to get ready for the day. She didn't want to go with me. Ut-ho, something new is afoot and just where was it leading to I would soon find out . After several attempts, I left her, set the alarm for the front door, and got myself ready for the day. 

She was still on the couch when I got back. I had found some old pictures and had been showing them to her. It was when I sat down to try again, she got up, and Mr. Sundowners was in complete control. She was like a super ball, bouncing all over the place. It was as if she didn't understand anything I said to her, and when I tried to answer her questions, she didn't even think I talked to her. 

I was able to talk her into taking her "balance medicine" and got some Stress Relief lotion on her. It wasn't until we went for a walk that she was able to come back to me. As the Hemp Oil did its magic, Sweetie slowly became herself and I was able to relax some. We spent most of the day out of the house. Went to the mall for a walk around, and a long drive home. 

Again, at evening time, she started up again and went to bed downstairs. I had a meeting on zoom, so it was good she was on the same floor I was, and after the zoom meeting, I retrieved her and took her upstairs. 

All is well, and my Driver knows it. I think He knows that it will take a couple of days for Sweetie to adjust to standard time, and so He is preparing me with extra Grace for the times ahead. He has the day already planned, and knows where the Grace fill ups are. I'm sure I'll need them, as Driver and me head down the Road to Dementia Town, followed by all those cars, all with Their Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
