Happy New Year.

Me and my friend.

 

As this year comes to an end, I wish all of those who follow me and Sweetie, A Happy New Year. For me and Sweetie, we will be making the best out of it as we can. 

I don't have any hopes that 2022 will be better than this year. I can hope and pray that the Covid insanity will wind down to a more understandable way of life. I've come to the conclusion that covid is here to stay, and nothing we can do to stop it. We are going to have to live with it, just like all the other sickness that is in this world. 

Nothing that has been tried to eraticate it has worked. Mask, no mask, vacination, no vacination, social distanacing, no social distancing has stopped Covid and with each new strain becoming less deadly, the fear should be less then at the beginning. 

With Sweetie and me basically social isolating, getting outside as much as we can, and exercising as much as we can, I feel that we are going to make it through the Covid panic without difficulities. We are both physically healthy, and therefore, we will survive Covid.

Oh the pain. It is less then when I went to bed last night. Got up, put heat on it, got the vibrator out and ran it up and down on my knee. Trying to prepare to get Sweetie up and taking care of her. 

Today is our Bible study morning, and I don't want to miss it. So, up she comes, and we start the day. 

One of the new behavior pattern she is starting, it going back to her nest every chance she gets. I have to keep calling her back to the table, and have something to eat when she gets back. 

I've shortened the time inbetween doses and it seems to help. 

In my attempt to get her ready, and she cannot get her new shoes on, so after the meeting we are going shopping to get her a pair that fit. Once out, will stay out as long as possible. 

After the meeting, we head for Walmart. Upon coming to the shoe area, we stop, and I look for easy slip on type shoes. Grab a couple of pairs that look like they will fit the bill, and move on. It will be easier to try them on at home, then there at the store. Then we will return the ones that don't work for her. 

When we get home, she tries to help take in the groceries, and soon heads for her nest while I put away that which we bought. 

Later, when she gets up, we try on each pair, and there is one that is easy, and one that won't work, so we make plans to take them back and at the same time get what we missed the last time. 

As the day went on, my knee was getting better because we did buy a new knee support sleeve. It felt better the moment I put it on. By the end of the day, I could almost walk normally. 

We did make it to the mall for our walk about. It went well, and again, Sweetie was tuckered out by the time we finished. 

Home, dinner, and to our meeting. Meeting done, home again, and she went right to bed. For some reason, I didn't join her, stayed up and watched some TV. 

When I got into bed, she was in the middle of the bed. Made my adjustments, and sleep came quickly. 

Driver kept us going down the Road to Dementia Town. There wasn't much to navigate around, and so, He kept us in the fast lane most of the day. Only slowing down for a stop or two to stretch our legs. Al the while, we were Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. D'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.   Arthur.
