A gift of flowers.

Sweetie got a gift of flowers.

My youngest daughter, who lives in California, sent Sweetie a gift of flowers, just because. She was hoping that they would put a smile on her face. Not only a smile, a twinkle in her eyes at the same time. She smiled, smelled them, touch them, and was happy to have them. They now adorn our living room, and there are flowers once again in our lives. Thank you Daughter. 

Kids do the darnest things. Just when you think you have them figured out, they will step out of the mold I've put them in and break it. 

The gift of the flowers is wonderful, and a reminder that all is not lost on Sweetie. She may not remember the flowers from yesterday, because it was yesterday. It is this morning when she gets up, I can present them to her again, and again, with who sent them until they are no more. 

Monday

It started so well. Going in and talking to her, telling her who I am and what the plans for the day are. Getting her up and into the bathroom. She was very cooperative as she got into the shower. It was there she began to become resistful. 

That resistance kept growing, and it didn't matter what I did, she just kept getting upset with me. After breakfast, she would did not allow me to clear her dishes, she was just in a snit. 

After I was able to finial clear away the dishes, I left her at the table. Doing my thing to get myself ready, I would come it and try to talk to her, it just didn't work.

She was mad at me and I don't know why. Then again, emotions, especially anger, doesn't have to have a reason. It could of been we left the birthday party too soon, or she didn't like dinner, or just something she saw on TV that got her going. 

Knowing that she is safe in the house for a few hours, I went ahead and left her at home and headed for the golf course. I was hoping two thing would come about of me leaving her alone.

The first, she would get over her anger about whatever caused it, and second, be happy to see me when I came home. It worked. 

We had a very good afternoon. Gave her an applesauce for lunch, went on our walk about at the mall, then back home where she went back to her safe place and stayed there. 

Being comfortable with where she was, I had an appointment with some weeds growing where no weed should grow. 

Putting a potato on to boil, and two eggs, I set my phone timer and headed out to remove the interlopers in my yard. 

Did you know that one medium size potato will be enough to make potato salad for two people for two meals? I don't usually add two eggs, for one is enough, just thought it might help stretch the dish. With some chopped celery and dill pickle, mayo, just a dash mustard, chopped onions, S&P to taste, and my side dish is in the refrigerator to cool for tonight. 

Have a meeting to go to at 7, so I need to get her up, CBDed, and feed before we go. 

It all went well, dinner was just right. She was hungry, and cleaned her plate in record time, and only left the table once. Giving her time to let the CBD kick in, and doing the dishes, we were set to head out to the meeting. 

All went well, Sweetie help putting books out, and setting the room up for the meeting. Friends came over and greeted her, which always puts a smile on her face. 

After the meeting, home, and to bed. A shot of CBD, stress lotions on her wrist and hands, we were ready for a good night sleep.

As Driver pulled into the parking lot to where we are going to spend the night. We got out, headed to your room, and off to sleep we went. Knowing that Driver is going to watch over us and the car. Knowing that tomorrow we will spend another day back out on the Road to Dementia Town. Where there are sights to be seen, curves and hills to go over and around, as we travel, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
