Another Long Day

Was gone almost all day. Many things to get taken care of. Got all of it done. My patience was tried but that is life it seems. Called my sweet uncle this morning on my way out. He was eating breakfast. A good sign. He had stopped eating. I asked how he was. He said any time I have a mouthful of eggs, I am good. That made my day and brought a smile. On the way back home a few raindrops hit the windshield. Yes! Of course the sun was shining when I got home. But I could see where we got a little rain, not enough but a small shower. Lots of indoor stuff and laundry to get caught tup on tomorrow. Have a good evening everyone. Enjoy the new fall shows finally.

@CarolDM I know how that works. My mother had Alzheimer's and my dad had dementia. I know you're glad of the good days.

He is not better. He is still dying with dementia at 90 y/o but he ate for the first time in a few days yesterday. Thank you.

You are really nice to call your uncle, it is a good sign he was eating breakfast. I worked a little too much in the garden, I need to rest today, bad back ache.
