Moon rise.

At the zoo, 05/'21

For me, it is just another day. A day of taking care of Sweetie. She is becoming less active. Is it the affects of the CBD or is she just by the fact Dementia is weighing heavy on her? 

She seems happy to just sit quietly and watch TV, and then she will attempt to tell me something that never seems to make much sense to me. So I watch her face, her expression so I can gage my response to her. Just how much she understands is a mystery to me. 

Friday

We had a stranger then normal beginning to our morning. She was up way early. Not wanting to get her riled up, I turned on her favorite show, and went to finish my meditation and prayer time. 

When I was finished, I went to take care of her. She wasn't in a good mood, so I gave her some Happy Medicine, and got her into some dry clothes. 

It seems that our outing to the zoo ran her batteries down to near zero charge. So it wasn't a big surprise that after breakfast, she went back to bed, and asleep. 

Needing some time to be alone, and knowing that she was safe without me being there, I took off for the course. I had my phone and could monitor her that way. 

It was a bad decision on my part. Had a terrible time on the course, my mind just wasn't on the game. I believe that my Driver was letting me know, I had made the wrong choice. 

Sweetie was fine when I got home, she didn't seem to know that I was gone. I needed to do some grocery shopping, so after lunch, that is where we headed. 

When we go there, and was attempting to put her mask on her, she rebelled. Thought we'd have to go home and do it another day. I was able to talk her into wearing her mask, and out of the car, into the store we went. 

Once out of the car, she clung to me for dear life. If I let her hand go to reach for something, she'd quickly latch onto it when she could. 

I tried something different for dinner. I got our regular size dinner plates. It seem to help, the same amount of food, not close to each other, seemed that there was less. I'm going to run a test, for the next week, use the larger plates, and then switch back to the smaller red plates. 

We watched Joe verse the Volcano last night. My favorite part is when the moon rise comes. Joe has a moment when he is thanking God, of whatever His name is, for his life. I thought about Sweetie and me, floating on a raft of luggage, and it was me watching that moon raise, I could say the same thing about my life. 

I think my Diver understands that moment. Could it be it was meant for me last night? I don't know, He is closed mouth about His influence of the days events. To see this huge moon, and the smallness of man, humbles me. Knowing that I'm with Him, and He is in the driver's seat, as we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our luggage bound together, floating on the sea of life, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
