We hit some loose gravel.

A Happier day.

Don't leave them alone. I've been told that from the beginning. I've been told so many things that over the years I've begun to wonder, under what circumstance? Does mowing the lawn, with Sweetie watching TV, is that the leaving her alone that was meant by that saying? Doing short errands? Is there a time limit? What if they do not want to go with you? 

As the only caregiver for Sweetie, I have to make those decisions. With a better understanding of what is acceptable and what isn't, through time and experience, I have come to this conclusion, it depends. 

There are times when Sweetie gets into a snit, and there isn't anything I can do about it. I know that it is an emotional expression of her being pissed at me for something that she cannot express. Leaving her alone, is one example of what I'm talking about. Even if it is outside for a time and she cannot find me in the house, is when I find myself at the end of her not being happy with me. 

Thursday

All the time I thought she was sleeping, turned out that she was clinging to the edge of the bed. Not knowing what to do, she just stayed there. 

When I came in, she was happy to see me, for I was going to rescue her from her peril. She was ready to get up. So, the day begins. 

The morning went well, but I could tell she wasn't herself, off just a bit, and as the day went on, the more edgy she got. 

After the lawns being mowed, and doing some work on Tweety, replaced hood supports, she even became more restless. Which was going to be the theme of the evening. 

After dinner, my plans were that we would walk to get the corvette, then go to a meeting, and then home. In her mind that wasn't going to happen. She didn't want to go for a walk, which lead to me going to get the corvette without her, which pissed her off even more. 

She paced the house, sat on the other side of the room, wouldn't sit with me. Then back to bed and up again, sit and then sit with me, only to get up and do it all over again. 

It wasn't until I was able to get some Stress Relief lotion on her hands that she was able to relax. I stayed away until it was my bedtime, and she was still tossing and turning, but it seemed like she was heading back to sleep. I know when she doesn't get much sleep, she can be like a bear coming out of hibernation. We'll see what awaits me as the morning and day progress. 

It looked like we hit some loose gravel today. Driver was able to skillfully navigate through the hazard on this, the Road to Dementia Town. We would loose traction, and the small stones sounded worse than they were, as they hit the bottom of the car. He found us a place to spend that night that was safe and comfortable. Soon the sun will be rising, and morning will begin another day, on the road, while we Keep Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
