Until her anger subsided.

 

Sleeping more these days.

 

My biggest worry, is that she sleeps too much during the day and will turn the night into her up time and that wouldn't be good for either of us. 

 

There are nights when I'm not tired enough to want to go to bed, at the time she seems ready for bed. It us usually around 8 in the evening. If it wasn't for my body clock getting me up between 3 & 4 in the morning, I'd love to stay up later. Maybe that will be down the road, at some point, then again, if I get to that point, will I want to stay up that late? 

 

I have busy mornings. With my daily reading and writing, It is usually around 5 or 6 when I get my morning meditation and writing done. It seems that I have about a two hour morning. When I'm done with that, then there is a zoom meeting, which takes me to after 7am. 

 

I'll get Sweetie up usually around 8:30 or so, to get her day started, then either golf, or some outing. It is like work, yet it isn't. It is a routine that is most important. Each day is the same, and at the same time, I don't know what Sweetie is going to be like, so each day has its own surprises waiting for us. 

 

Tuesday

 

I've used up all my phone data, and have to now go to the bedroom to see what she is doing. I see that she is awake, and so it is morning med time. Sweetie seems to take it eagerly, smiling, and I tell her my story, again, and leave the room. 

 

Upon returning, I try to give her a second dose, and she isn't as willing as before. Leaving and returning later, I find her fast asleep. She must of not had a good night last night, so I leave her. 

 

It is around 11 before I can get her up, and cleaned up, heading for the table, to get some food into her. After she eats, she heads back to bed again. Where she sleeps another two hours. This isn't looking good for tonight. 

 

While she is up, she doesn't want to move from her chair. No matter what I do, she just wants to be left alone. 

 

I do get her up late in the afternoon, and get her to sit next to me on the couch. It is time for our game show watching, and I know she enjoys them. She smiles and chuckles at the humor, so we sit and watch. 

 

I make dinner, and while I'm cooking, she gets up and heads for her nest. That is OK, cause I'll just get her when dinner is ready. But before I can go and get her, she comes back. We sit and she eats, gets up and wanders, then returns to the table. 

 

She heads to the front door, unlocks the dead bolt, and tries to open the door. So grateful to have childproof the doors, so she cannot get out, and because I'm not stopping her, she just turns and comes back to the table. I know that if I had come between her and the door, she would have gotten angry at me for stopping her, and we'd be up until her anger subsided. 

 

After dinner, calm returns, and we spend the rest of the evening, holding hands on the couch, loving each other, which at that point, makes the day worthwhile. This is the best it is going to get, and that my friends, is the best part of the day. It took some time to get there, but the travel was worth it. 

 

It seemed that Driver must of hit every red light today. For it was a herky-jerky type of day. We were able to work through the traffic, and get some smooth road time. This is where we could finally Keep Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
