Quite easy.

The old guy.

 

Post Santa beard. Took this picture to send to my daughter in California. When I told her about my precancer treatment on my face, she sent me this the same day. The wide brim hat. I was going to buy one for myself, it was nice to have someone get it for me.

This morning is quite different from any other morning in the past years. Why you ask? Well, because I slept in. Since my retirement, I've retired my alarm clock. I haven't used it in since then. 

For years, I've been living on 4-6 hours of sleep. So, getting up at 3 or 4 in the morning is quite natural for me. this morning, I woke up at 5, which turned my whole morning routine on its head. 

Spend the early times reading my morning meditation material, do my prayer time, and write my blog. Those are the things I do first, and it usually takes me about 2 hours. With waking up when I did, I didn't have time to do the first part, before the second part of my moring begins. 

For the first time since I started this blog, I'm doing it with the sun up and it feels strange. And if this feels strange, I wonder how the rest of the day will go. 

Sunday

Sunday, just another day for us. Well, not really. For we have 6 Saturdays, and one Sunday. Knowing that Sweetie had a rough night, I'm letting her sleep, and it looks like she is needing it. 

Got her up, and headed for the bathroom. Yesterday, I feed her a lot of oatmeal for breakfast, and now I'm hoping for the results and I didn't have to wait any longer. Lets just say, I'm glad that today is also shower day. 

Into the Shower we went. Got her cleaned, dried, and dressed. 

Out for breakfast we go. Decided to have scrambled eggs and spam. Gave her some applesauce to start with. Then the toast and CBD for the end of the meal. 

Looks like I have to do some laundry today. 

With my chorses done. We settle in for some TV. Afterwords, a walk about. Got one and half laps in. I was the one that can't go the distance, again. Soon we are home. 

As soon as we walk in, she heads for her nest, and a nap. That leaves me to myself, and my viewing. 

Soon, she comes in, and I'm up giving her more CBD. It seems that from 3 to about 6, she is in a sundowner zone. Not full on sundowners, just that she isn't "right". Made the decision to put her on once and hour dose that this time. Somewhere after 6 she comes out of her sundowner cocoon, and starts loving one me. 

I had made up my mind that if she was as restless as the night before, I wouldn't hesatate and move upstairs for the night. Actually, I was hoping for just that. 

When I got into bed, held her hands, said our prayers, gave her a kiss, said "I love you" and I was gone. Sleep ran me down like a free safety on a football field. I was gone. 

It didn't seem like a long time, on the Road to Dementia Town. It didn't seem like we travel every far, and on top of that, Keeping our Shiny Side Up was quite easy. So until next time, C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless
