Diary – Minor Changes

Day 50 of Lockdown

With hubby laughing at what comes out of my mouth now.

We sometimes just look at each other in a amazement and laugh after I have said something that is absolute rubbish.

  1. It might just sound gobbledygook
  2. It might be the totally wrong word
  3. My mouth will open but nothing comes out because my brain can’t find the words
  • This doesn’t happen all the time, but at least we can laugh with each other when it does.
  • I thought I would also mention that I can no longer work out what is a joke… I can imagine some will think I am being possibly ignorant by not reacting as you think I should…or how a person should react when it’s only a joke. This is so hard to describe

    I suppose what I am trying to say is I think everything that is said to me is reality.

    So if you said jokingly…wow that dress is awful …I would think you meant it…so I wouldn’t find it funny. I would think you where being deadly serious.

    I take everything anyone says as the truth I suppose, which can cause a little upset if I’m not understanding.

    Anyway today I’m out for an early walk in the park before my zoom meetings.

    The Herons are all fighting for the best nesting spot, it was amazing to watch them flying in and out of the tree…such a big bird trying to navigate through the branches

    I have had major problems with my camera today as my head was not remembering how to do things, which caused me to get a little flustered.

    Most of my photos where annoyingly out of focus or just couldn’t zoom in to get a clear photo…so I got really annoyed with myself earlier.

    I spend sometime in the garden in the beautiful sunshine before hubby comes home from work. I’m just generally pottering about, the moon was out too in the clear blue sky.

    So as soon as hubby is home I hand him my camera. He spots the problem straight away, I had inadvertently moved a button…something so simple but yet so confusing for my head to remember / work out.

    All sorted now 😊

    Moon out early on this beautiful sunny afternoon

    The camera problems kept on coming as now my photos are not uploading onto my iPad…what have I done now 🙈

    All sorted…

    Now me and camera are all good again.

    I thought a walk after tea to catch the sunset…but No sunset as clouds have appeared.

    Turnstones by the sea edge

    Definitely not my day today

    Tomorrow will be better!

    1. Enjoyed your blog, even though you were having a tough day. Your blogs mean so much because you are living with dementia and articulate your experiences so well. Elaine
