Very good day.

Talking to Dad. 

Sweetie is mumbling more these days, and it is getting harder and harder to understand her. While in the house, in the car, walking the mall, I know she is asking something, or is telling me something, but I just can't make it out. 

In the pass, there were times of her mumbling that I could make out some of what she was trying to say, now a days, it is impossible for me to do that. 

Over all, yesterday was a banner day. We were able to have a list of good things happen. One was a bowel movement in the morning, and one in the afternoon. Two in one day and that hasn't happened ever. I would of never guessed that I would be praising the fact of a bowel movement. I can remember being at a baseball game, seeing a man with a t-shirt that said, "I pooped today." and thought it was discussing. Now here I am all a twitter about Sweetie having two in one day. 

We were able to have a shower, clean clothes, improvement in her elbow, more movement. Lunch with the grandkids, with mom and dad, a nice time in conversation, with the just the right amount of time stealing attention grabbers from the grandsons. We talk about different things, and now that the election is over, politics don't dominate our conversation. We found many threads of conversation available for us to pull on and see where they lead to.

After lunch, and a drive around town, went looking for the herd of buffalos, they were no where to be seen. Then home. 

I could tell that Sweetie was running out of Hemp Oil, and when I tried to get her to take some, she went full sundowner on me. I was able to get some lotion on her hands, and then she wanted to walk. This time I was prepared for that, and we walked, and walked until either the lotion, or sundowners kicked in or out. 

With her energy levels drained, she wanted to go to bed. While I cooked her something to eat, I let her sleep. When I woke her up, she wouldn't get out of bed. I left her meal on the table incase she would get up and eat. She did come out, but didn't want her dinner so we had dessert. It was cake, and before I put hers on the plate, I put a dropper full of Oil on the place where I was putting her cake. Sneaky, but effective. So, she had cake and cookies for dinner. The way I looked at it, it was better than nothing. 

After dinner, stress lotion on her hands, watched TV, and she relaxed and went off to bed. All in all, a very good day. Full of Easter Eggs. 

Driver has found a nice straight bit of road to travel on. It was nice, just heading down the Road to Dementia Town, listening to the soothing sounds of the tires rolling over the pavement, with the occasional crack adding to the rhythm of the road, as we Keep our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
