Two smiles, one heart.
I liked this picture better than the one from yesterday. It is darker, then again, it is the one with both of us smiling. I think I need to take at least one picture a day of us from now on.
It is the constant tug on my heart that gets tiring. Because of her Happy medicine, and how it can change her personality is that which is the heaviest drag on me.
She will go from telling me to leave her alone, and swatting my hands away, trying to get away, to a loving spouse that wants to hold hands and be close together. Those are the times I'd wish she would stay in. Without the dips and heights, life would be boring.
Saturday
My Nanny Cam app quite again, and spent Saturday morning setting them up again. When I talked to product support, they suggested that I don't use it as much as I was. I had to admit that that could be the answer. I'm like a kid with a new toy, on, off, on, off. Working on a new behavior pattern on its usage.
Sweetie surprised me this morning, she was up, and because I didn't have the cameras working, I almost walked right into her. I was able to get her her meds and down she went.
She just eating much these days. I prepared spam and eggs, toast and jelly, ensure, for her. She ate the toast, drank some of the ensure, and some spam, then off to bed she went. Didn't touch the eggs at all.
Amazon had sent me a second set of cameras thinking the first were defective. Received my return code, and headed to send them back. Went to Kohls to return them, wrong place, code was for UPS. Oops.
So we headed for our UPS store. When we got there, there was a line out the door. Not wanting to wait, we left, to return on Monday after our round of golf.
Got home, and had another chore to get done. Our flag holder was missing a screw, and with the winds we have been having, it is now a good time to resolve that problem.
Back into the car and headed for the hardware store. Sweetie in tow, we found what I was looking for, back home and job completed.
After reading a post about sleeping problems in the Dementia Family Support, and a suggestion of using Stress Relief to help sleep, I thought why not give it a try tonight on Sweetie.
About 15 to 20 minutes before bedtime, I put some on her wrist, and neck. When we went to bed, she cuddled up to me, "I love you" kiss, and to sleep we went. When I got up, she was snoring. Believe me, it was music to my ears.
Well, as we came to our resting place, Driver stopped the car, and opened the doors for us. Tired from the day, He found just the right time and place to stop. To make the best, all I have to do is listen to His soft voice guiding me onward. For He knows I needed a good nights sleep. To wake up refreshed as we again will head down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
