Calmness.

Sweetie at the penguin exhibit at the zoo.

Here is something you won't find her doing much these days, wearing her glasses. As she fades to the past, somethings are just not become important to her. I know I've mentioned her not wearing glasses before. One of the funny things is when she sees me wearing my readers, she will sometimes put them on when I take them off. Then the fun begins to try and take them away from her.

 It is so much fun, when she gets it in her head that whatever she is holding, is hers and there is no way in hell she is going to give it up. So, the easiest thing is to let her have it, as long as it isn't dangerous, and wait until she puts the item down. Then go get it. 

We took Tweetie out for a drive. It had snowed the night before and the snow changes the scenery and wanted to enjoy some of it before it melted. Because the Corvette is so low, it makes getting in and out difficult, and with Sweetie's bad arm, even more so. Which means until we get her arm mended, our drives in Tweetie will be few and far in between.

Dinner was a re-play from the night before. She didn't want to eat what I prepared for her, so I made her a sandwich with CBD on it. Helped her as the evening went on. At bed time for her, she wanted me to sleep with her. That was a big change. Afraid of hurting her arm, I laid there until she went to sleep, and went to my bedroom. Is this going to be the new sleep pattern for awhile? Just have to wait and see. 

I'm finding that by putting her Oil on her food, is an easier way to get it in her. I was worried that she wouldn't like the taste of it on her food, and then again, just what does she taste and does she like it? It takes a little while longer to calm her, but it works. What I like about doing it this way, is there isn't those times when she just refuses to take it, and we fight to get it in her. 

I'm finding that in the morning when I have her sitting on the potty, I can undress her easier and get to her arm, apply lotion to it, and re-dress her without much trouble. It seems that mornings are when she is the most compliable. and I need to take advantage of that calmness. 

Calmness, that is what I recover when we are in the car with my Driver. He handles all of my cares, and when I try to take them back, like the true gentleman He is, he lets me. Until I cannot handle them again, and again, He is there ready to take them and put them on the back seat. Oh if I'd just let them stay there, but there are times when I just can't leave well enough alone. As it goes, as we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
