...is soon over and November is ready to take over. During the last weeks I have been busy with my studies and I have thought a little about blogging but then the thing called laziness have hit me, badly. And if I would have posted something it would have not been any happy posts.
Lately I have felt a little tensed and when I try to relax I can feel the difference. My shoulders crawl up to the ears, I feel my neck is stiff and my tongue does its best to press out the teeth. And my jaw is really tensed. I do not know why this is like this. Am I tensed about something, nervous, tired...
Earlier I heard the birds fly south. It is that time of year now. We have had some cold days with about -8 degrees outside the living room window. And the broadcast has promised some snow tomorrow. Winter is on the way.
I talk to my father almost every day. The phone calls are the same every time. He tells me what has been up with mother at the home for the people with dementia. Every day is the same and in the beginning he visited her for 2 hours and now he can sit there for 5-6-7 hours. I do not say that it is wrong to visit her, but not for so long. If they did something together, went out or so it would be different. He do not even want to visit us if something would happen. We have been there several times and I just hope that he could live a little. He has grown so old in a short time. I try to understand. And when I want to tell what has happened here and what his grandchildren are doing, I can feel that he really does not want to listen. I do not know what to do...
It is silent here. The family is sleeping and so should I. So have a blessed new week, a happy Halloween and take care.
Hugs, Niina

Hi Niina! It's been such a long time! I have been going over old webpages and saw your page is still up. That made me so excited. I am working on bringing back my family pages as well.
Sorry to read about your Mom's dementia. My husband's mother has the beginning stages of some sort of dementia but she doesn't want to admit it. She's become very forgetful. I hope you have a blessed week and so very nice to see you online still!
Hello Kim! Long time! Glad that you found me! I have not had so much time over for the homepage and pixels as I wished for. The page is still up and I hope that some day I can start to pixel again. Meanwhile the blog is up and I try to post as often as I can. Studies take a lot of time. But in a year I hope that I am done with the hard stuff!
My mom has had her dementia since 2007 and she began to be forgetful in 2002. 2 weeks of tests, doctors, nurses and hospitals gave the result. I think it is harder on us relatives and loved ones. We see things differently and mom does not understand why she is at a home, because she thinks that she can do things by herself. I hope that your husband's mother is doing well. It is not fun to see the ones you love start to get "older", with all what that means. Best thing is to take one day at a time.
Take care and have a lovely new week! Blessings!
