Been Away A While

Sometimes, I get ready to write something and I just go blank. I tend to want to write something profound or something that will mean something to the ones that are faithful and read this blog.

I really don't feel that my days are that interesting. I'm beginning to think that my job had truly become my life....my reason for getting up each day. I know that my husband and I have discussed that we are much closer now that I am not working. It is strange how you just seem to wrap your life around your job.

Now, I do the usual things. I clean, I do laundry, I shop, I go to the grocery. It is just now they are all such an effort. They tire me out. So many choices, so much noise. Today, for example, my husband was getting an injection in his back - which required that he have a driver. Luckily, I am still able to drive. But today, for some reason, I kept getting turned around and the drive was confusing. We have a new GPS that tells me turn by turn which way to go but she ticked me off today and I didn't want to follow her directions. Good thing that Vince was there to gently head me in the right direction.

I went into chat twice today with my friends from DASNI. They help me so much. For those of you who are not familiar with that group - DASNI stands for Dementia Advocacy Support Network International. I chat with people from all over the world that are in the proverbial 'same boat'. Very helpful! And non-threatening.

I will try harder to post more often, but in the meantime - thanks for sticking with me.
