Sweetie, Tweetie, and Balloon Fiesta.
Feeling low this morning. Don't know why. It was like always, good time, not so much good times, and then... the end of the day is near. That just about tells it all.
Had a person come over to measure for new blinds. The one in the living room, the gearing to change the angle of the blinds went out years ago, and I want to replace it. And there are two windows that need replacements.
I was surprised by the sales lady. She recommended repairing the one, and we ordered the others. That is what we agreed to, and we are going to see it happen. Waiting on a email with the price and then to get things done.
Well, tried to find Sweetie some pants that fit her. She is just hard to size. Found some that had the length, but the waist was too tight, going to return them today.
We're back on CBD, and lotion. They are working well, and that is a blessing. Her arm is also improving. She tried her hardest to use it to eat with, almost got it to her mouth. I think in a day or two, with the lotions and vibrator, she will be back to being right handed again.
Last night, we were eating dinner, and she just got up, went to the back bedroom, and crawled into bed. She has done this before, what makes this different, is that she would come out after 30 or so minutes, sit with me, and then go we'd go to bed. Not this time. I think she is getting herself mentally moved to the back bedroom. It could be the stairs are getting to be too much for her. Just another progression of her dementia. Looks like I'm going to move some of the things we do every morning down to the bathroom, some of her cloths, and the rest. Not sure if I'll join her, she seems to want to sleep by herself more and more.
I remind her every morning, or upon awaking, who I am, and what I do for her. Some mornings there is a light of remembrance in her eyes, and then again, she doesn't know who I am. Those are the most difficult mornings. As the day and the Hemp Oil go, she starts to have some vague idea that she is safe with me. That is the most important concept for me to get her to understand. Then, doing that which I must do, takes on an easier way of getting it done.
Going to try and get her hair shampooed this morning. I know it is bad when her fingernails are dirty from scratching her scalp. I'm even going to try and cut her hair. Doing all that to make care easier for me.
Well, it is time to get into the car with my Driver at the wheel. He knows what must be done and can plan today's ride accordingly. Some mornings it is a struggle to get in, yet, with a big smile, a "Good Morning Champ." He brightens the way. As we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, and as always, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
