Life as we knew it.

Grandma and granddaughter 2015.

My daughters and family came to visit and see the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta that year. It was a  good time for all. Sweetie's Dementia wasn't in full swing yet, so we had some great times. There was a time when I was asked by my oldest if she didn't want them there. We hadn't had Sweetie tested yet, so I told her it was her, not them. How right I was without knowing it. 

Now, I'm not sure just how long anyone can come over and visit. Sweetie is clinging to me, not so much physically, more emotionally. Her mental state is dependent on me and how we are. She is like a lost puppy. 

Yesterday morning, she just wanted to stay in bed, not sleep, just lay there. I had to get her up, because if I didn't she would be cranky all day long. 

I got her up around 11, had cereal, and sat down to watch TV. That is where we spent the day. I was going to try and take her to the mall, but because it was Saturday, and the mall would be filled, I changed my mind. I'm finding that a busy mall isn't the best for her, just too many people. We may try today, before it gets too busy, just to get out. March weather isn't good right now for walking outside. 

Daylight savings time has officerly started, what behaviors will begin a new? Only my Driver knows for sure. The days will grow longer, and we will do whatever is needed to make it through these longer times of sunlight. As we pull the visors down, driving into the sun, on the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
