Sweetie's birthday buddy.

Birthday cake.

I'm so glad that someone came up with the idea of having candles in the shape of numbers. I remember those days when there would be so many candles on a cake, that it was almost impossible to blow them all out. For the youngsters that turns into the game, for Sweetie, she doesn't know what to do and it is OK, sad, but OK. 

Yesterday was my "freedom" day. My lady came over to relieve me of my duty. Headed for the one place where I can forget about the pressures of life for a couple of hours. 

While I was on the course, son texted me. They were having a birthday party for the youngest. He is Sweetie's birthday buddy, they share the same day. I felt terrible. With all my attention on Sweetie, I had forgotten his. I told my son that I didn't have anything for him, and he understood, and expressed that back to me. Our present would be our presence. Love is the best gift of all. 

When I got home, Lady said that she had a wonderful day and that she felt it isn't her shoulder that is giving Sweetie trouble, but her elbow. She noticed that her forearm is swollen and it is when she moves it at the elbow, the pain, grimacing begins. So, we are moving the medication rub from the shoulder to the elbow, and see if that helps. I just might do both areas for awhile, won't hurt. 

As of things to do today, I'm going to measure Sweetie's bed and order new sheets for it. I found that on Amazon, I can order sheets, fitted and top, separates. Less expensive, and don't get the extra stuff that comes with a grouping. Won't have to rush the laundry this way. 

Time to get going, Driver is here and the dawn is coming. Another day, riding in the passenger's seat, watching the scenery go by, as we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
