The beginning of the end...

No snow, just clouds.

The weather report was for about an inch of snow in town, in the morning. Well, this is what we ended up with. Clouds, some snow on the Sandie's, which is what me and those of us who live here, thought we'd get. 

The weather patterns are changing. We'd use to get two or three snow storms by this time in years past. Not so much anymore. It appears that we are in for another dry winter. 

Wednesday

Have a video call with her doctor this morning. After talking with a person about hospice care. I was informed of needing a doctor's order to allow them to give Sweetie her CBD. 

The wonders of modern day technology allows us to have that conversation. It was good to see each other. We have been doctor/patient for over 25 years. Can't say that about a lot of relationships and still have them be happy ones. Doctor wasn't sure on what or how to write the order, and where to send it. I suggested that she sends it to me, because I'm not sure on where Sweetie will be in when I'm on the road. Will keep you posted as this moves along.  

Our morning started out pleasantly enough. She was awake and seemed to be pleased to see me. As I talked to her, and gave her her wake up dose, she seemed to be in a good mood. Left the room to allow the meds to clear her head. 

When I returned, I remembered that she would need a shower this morning. So, out of bed, and into the shower. 

I've been thinking of leaving her on the potty in the morning. For it seems like, when I wipe her, she has started a movement, and I interrupt her. So, I will test my idea tomorrow. 

Any way, cleaned, dressed and out for breakfast. 

Because of the weather report from yesterday, I didn't make any plans to play golf today, and after leaving her home by herself, and the emotional turmoil that came about, I thought a day home with just her and me was called for. 

Had some laundry to do and this was a good time to do it. Besides, there were two fitted sheets in this load, and I am learning on how to fold them. Did you know that on YouTube you can find videos on just about anything, including "How to fold a fitted sheet." You know, it was something that filled my time with something to do. 

I was needing to make a run to the grocery store, and was hoping to get Sweetie to come with me. Nope, not a good idea. She wasn't going to leave the house. So, put on a movie that would cover my time gone, and off I went. 

Got home, she was in her nest, and I had groceries to put away. Done with my part, now to get her out of bed and on to the couch. 

That done, and the beginning of the end of the day was upon us. Had a very pleasant evening, and soon we were in bed, with sleep lapping at my heels. 

All in all, it was a pleasant day, this day on the Road to Dementia Town. My Driver didn't seem to be alarmed about the events on the day, and why should He be? Were we not able to Keep Our Shiny Side Up? Yes we were. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
