"V for Vexations

Here I am, writing in the morning again. But, as the title of this entry indicates, yesterday was a
day filled with vexations. I guess we might blame it all on the weather. It was very warm, very humid, and threatening storms all day. I think that kind of weather works on our bodies as well as our minds, and makes us all irritable.

Mother had a hard day, and hence so did we. She was extremely mixed up, and very disoriented. We couldn't get her settled to anything. She changed clothes dozens of times, and thought all day that someone was going to come and take her for an outing. Even after we took her for an outing, she came home and resumed her unsettled ways.

We are realizing more and more, that our care is going to have to be stepped up to the next level.
She has always been able to take care of her own bathing and dressing, and her own grooming needs. But that too is going by the wayside. And she is not understanding why we need to help her with these tasks. What do we do? Well, we are planning some adjustments, and we shall see.

Each day brings new challenges. Anyway, today is breezy, cool, and low humidity. Ahhh, what a welcome relief. We have opened all the windows. Perhaps a new breeze is blowing into our lives.
