Living with an Early-onset Dementia Diagnosis
I just want to know – who had the bright idea to get our house all fixed up and ready to sell? Who thought it would be such a GREAT idea to do all these home improvement projects? Yes, I know it was me – but I’m also aware that this has to be one of the WORST ideas I’ve ever had. Continue reading “Whose Bright Idea Was This?”
I left the office feeling really good yesterday. The day had been rainy, but the sun was out and it was going to be a good evening. M and my dad were out to dinner. I was going to have some time alone at home to decompress and relax. Continue reading “After the Rain”
I feel like a real detective today – I finally solved a mystery.
I’ve been wondering why M is so attached to his playlist of ‘80s songs and why he sits in his chair, every evening, with his headphones on and listens to music, even though we’re watching something he has expressed an interest in seeing.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Am I the only one old enough to remember that?
The insurance/doctor/employer debacle continues. I spoke to M’s HR representative Friday and she got in touch with someone she normally deals with at the insurance company. That person Continue reading “The Days of Our Lives”
Throughout our entire marriage, M has always been very handy when things needed to be done around the house. Neither one of us knows very much about carpentry, but he could always handle Continue reading “This House was Built of Wood”
I thought I had nothing to write about today. And then I tried to get out the door this morning. Aggravation!
M had his spiral ring binder, which had contained his list of chores for the week, but Continue reading “You Dropped the Bomb on Me”
I know M was only gone a week – and his trip with our younger son across the country took less time than that – but it certainly seemed a LOT longer! Continue reading “Home, At Last”
