02-21-25 nearly done
I had a lovely breakfast with cousin Donna at Denny’s this morning. It was nice to catch up. The family on that side is struggling with a member with rapid decline dementia. It is so hard on them especially as this is their first experience. I get it, now imagine that I was 18 when I nursed my step-grandad on their side to his death. He had silicosis and dementia and who knows what else. All I know was I loved him and I lived through that gentle man becoming violent and scary. I still can see him sitting on his bed shredding his long johns with a butcher knife. I can remember him holding my hands above my head and yelling at me that the mine was going to cave in. It is a terrible disease and I am glad I have more memories of wonderful times with him
I finished all but two T4 filings this week and am very grateful. I am tired and sore. I have done well walking but my lower back and knee ache from two months of disuse. I look forward to soaking in CBD baths this weekend and hope to shop for a new recliner.
I came home and ate and did a little Deadpool Diamond Art. Never thought you’d see those words together, did you?!
I am feeling blue….
