If you don’t want temptation to follow you, don’t act as if
you’re interested.
Early night had and a good night’s sleep and now to enjoy my
day off and relax. Yesterday was a mixed
day and proof that a bad hour doesn’t make a bad day! After taking an hour to secure Spice Girl
tickets, I came home and walked into a happy mom, then I walked Alfie and came
back and sat down to watch Mamma Mia 2 and she turned, her mood went
stinky. Thankfully my heads in a good
place again and from years of practice, I’ve got the handle on how to deal with
situations like this, she wasn’t interested in the movie, she was sorting her
papers and generally being an arse, but I was patient and persistent and
eventually she came round, in the last 20 minutes of the movie! Then as the credits were going up she said,
have we got that to keep, I liked it, I could watch it again. I said we could watch it again right away if
she wanted and she said yes, so we did, and I did my very best to explain who
the characters were and how it was jumping back and forth over 25 years – not easy
for someone with Alzheimer’s to keep on top of. The rest of the day was pretty good though
thankfully. It’s important to try and
understand what’s going on in the other persons head, that way you have more
patience to get why they’re behaving in a certain way.
6 weeks tomorrow is Christmas Eve, how ridiculously fast has
this year gone, thankfully I have no gifts to buy as I’m doing the Food Bank
instead. I’ll look out for some bits and
bobs for mom, although she isn’t easy to buy for, like me there’s nothing she
really needs or wants.
I never did cook in the end yesterday, but I will today because
the mince is defrosted. I ended up
having crumpets for breakfast at the meeting, corn on the cob with St Agur
cheese on them for dinner and for my tea I had a bag of Cheese and Onion
crisps, meh I enjoyed it all and today will be super delicious too.
I have a morning of crochet planned, I’m trying new square
patterns and using my brain which is good and it keeps me occupied which stops
me overeating so that’s even better.
Actually I’m off because I want to get one done before the
rest of the house wakes up and it’s already half five.
Here’s to a great day xx
