Smiling thru my Tears

 Rob has been playing his guitar today, really loud and strong - usually he plays so quietly.

Then he asked if I remembered this chord, and I am not good at that at all. 

So, he started to sing... and it was "Keeper of the Stars". 

The very first song we danced to on the night we met.

Immediately my eyes teared up, and I tried so hard to smile and put on a happy face for him.

Tip #4: Keep a “To Go” kit ready and easy to grab

Tip #4: Keep a “To Go” kit ready and easy to grab Your To Go kit should include two main groups of things. Photo courtesy of Pexels. One group will include paperwork, such as: Advance health-care directives such as a Living Will and copies of the medical order forms Common medical orders forms such as the DNR (Do-Not-Resuscitate) and POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment) A medication list A copy of your medical power of attorney form It’s never a bad idea to have a copy of their ID card and insurance card as well The other main group of things to put inside of your To Go bag are items that will make the ER visit less boring for you and for your person — things that might make you both more comfortable. For you, items like a phone charger, book, snacks and water — maybe a small travel blanket or neck pillow. Also pack a pen or pencil and pad of paper to take notes and document important things. For your person, take something that makes them comfortable or reminds t...

a not-so-fun experience...

We went grocery shopping yesterday, and first we went to Shoppers Drug Mart to buy pop on sale. We picked up a few more items on sale. We had brought in a cloth shopping bag, so he put our purchases in there. Then we went to the Superstore for the rest of our groceries, and he carried in the plastic bins we use when grocery shopping, and put them into the shopping cart. When I went to put something into the bin while we shopped, I realized he had moved some of the Shopper's purchases (bacon, hotdogs, eggs) into the bins, and brought them in with us! No idea why?? So I am feeling a bit panicky, thinking how will I get them out of the store without having to pay for them again!? I tried to explain the problem to him, so he grabs them and starts heading for the door, saying he will take them back to the car. No! You can't just walk out with them! Visions of him being arrested for shoplifting! So he gives them back to me and takes off to look for the receipt in the car. Back...

A good day

  We got our MRI appt for my LO! This Wednesday evening, so that was quick! We needed that done so he could see the Cognitive Neurologist, who is only in the memory clinic office one week a month. So, if we missed this one in September , we would have to wait another month. We had a good day yesterday, I printed out the paperwork for Advanced Directives, and we went thru that, and it brought up MAiD, and he decided that was something he wanted if it was available in the future. Then he decided to start clearing out the garage. It is a work in progress, but in the past, it's been hard because he wouldn't let go of anything, and I felt overwhelmed every time I went in there by all the stuff. But now he doesn't remember that some of it belongs to him, he was sure it was all my son's - so it was a lot easier to get rid of stuff. Some is going to the dump, and some we are putting up on a local free site.
