Grin and bear it.

In her Hawaii shirt.

Yesterday was a mixed day of blessings and not so much blessings. Not sure why it was that way, but then again, can anyone know why we have such good days and not so good days. 

Yesterday was a "Bee in the Bonnet" for Sweetie. I was at a loss to understand her. We had a good morning, sorta. 

I'm having a problem motivating myself to get things done around the house. I think it is because I worry about Sweetie and her emotional upheavals. If she can't find me, she gets mad at me for not being where she thinks I should be. 

I know I should just get the work done, and deal with the fallout when it happens. It is never at the same time when she gets upset, it is always later in the day. I'm thankful that sleep seems to be her reset button. 

Sunday 

Life goes now, and always to a different beat. Like a parade, being at different spots, you either hear the bands, or just the drums setting the beat to the march. 

We had our normal early awaking, and that new routine. What does seem to help, is when she gets up early, she gets an early dose of Happy Medicine. It seems to help her wake up happy after she gets up the second time. 

By mid morning, she had hit her stride for the day. I was waiting for my man to come and give us an estimate on the new garage door, we watched TV. 

It wasn't until I text him, that I found out he wasn't coming. Not good for a man that said he would. Being that it is Sunday, I thought OK. Not happy waiting for him to show. 

With that taken care of, we did our mall crawl, and I had to get a new battery for the Corvette key bob. Mission accomplished, headed for home. That is when it got difficult. 

It was when we had to do a bathroom check, that she was dirty, and I thought it would be better to put her in the shower. She didn't think so, and the battle of wills began. Here is the place where CBD doesn't help. 

Afterwards, she went back to bed, and napped. I watched TV. She did come out a couple of times, walked around, and went back to bed. It is at this point that I know she just doesn't know how to express herself, and it doesn't matter what I try to do, she will not co-operate with me. For both of us, it is best just to let her alone, making sure she is safe and secure and let the phase work itself out. 

At the end of the evening, I knew she wouldn't be happy with me crawling in bed with her, and I was right. So, I just got in, told her that this is where I sleep, said good night, rolled over and went to sleep. 

Doing what is right is sometimes the hardest things to do. Driver knows that and He is there to help. To see what is going bye, and knowing that the Road to Dementia Town will have those sections that get rough. Knowing that nothing goes smoothly all the time, just have to grin and bear it. Keeping in mind that we are traveling down the road, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
