I have been thinking about this project I have started and why I did that in the midst of everything else that is going on. I think it is a combination of things. First of all, I needed to get away from ever needing to get in the attic and to keep Cowboy out of there.
Second, I needed something to keep me occupied now that I spend most of my time at home.
I also think going through things from one's past provides the opportunity to examine that past and remember some things we tend to forget. I found an old camera that Cowboy used in the 50's and 60's that would have to be called a "spy camera". How cool is that?
In the final analysis it is about occupying my mind and wearing out my body. There is value to me in that.
We had a pretty good day. I did some cleaning this morning and then my band was over this afternoon. Cowboy just sits there and listens and seems to enjoy it. I have been told that music is very good for persons with dementia and it certainly seems to be true.
Tomorrow morning I am leaving at 7AM to go to the base and stand in a ridiculously long line to get new prescriptions filled for the upcomoing year. It is a process that can take hours. Then I will take what time I have left to do some shopping. A friend is coming at 7 to look after Cowboy and fix his breakfast. Then Marsha will take over at 10AM.
