Ain't life grand!
thats heartbreaking, i cant possibly imagine what your going through. i take my hat off to you for dealing with it better than i ever could.

With illnesses like Alzheimers and dementia, the best thing you can do is just go along with it honestly, while still trying to point them in the right directon.. and a visit from the family every now and then helps more than people realize I think.
this almost made me cry, that what i worry about as im getting older, as i only have one grandparent now (papa) hes a very healthy, active man in his late 70's, he walks about 10miles a day, and now his dog passed away he walks even more. so i cant say ive ever been in a situation anything like yours, you must have a very strong front to work in a place where stuff so heartbreaking goes on, id come home everyday in tears.


anyways today i have swimming lessons, yay! should be fun, i love my little pre-school class (3-5yr olds) its so fun, its more games than teaching them how to swim . then i have a dear friends 18th party tonight, i have no idea what to expect or who to expect even...

this happened to my grandfather when he had it. It was the worst thing to experience, screaming at his own children. Attacking his grandkids. I was mercifully saved from seeing any of it, just by chance. I got to remember him as I always had, but just to know it happened is heartbreaking on its own.

Yeah school start up puts the brakes on my lifestyle a little too... I start working at my job as a teacher's aide at the local high school, as well as keeping up my minimum hours in the Deli to keep my health insurance... busy times ahead! Gotta enjoy my last final blast of time freedom while I can....

Which made it all the better to enjoy today! Mostly great and relaxing, though a little chilly here in Wisconsin... kinda feels like summer never quite came and is now on the way out.... quite odd...

I guess I could easily hang out online till 4 myself, but the knowledge that my two year old usually comes in and wakes me up at seven usually has me heading to bed...

Just got back from a music festival. The big tickets were Thrice, Protest the Hero, and Classified. Thrice was fucking unreal, and Classified put on a wicked show.

Played some basketball and tennis with a mate, then watched some kung fu movies, went down and had a countery at the local, then just chilled to some tunes.
