Today I spent the day thinking about Dementia and Senior Citizens. Yesterday, I was watching a movie about an older couple. Hafta laugh, I asked Grandson's mom how was it working with older folks. She was telling me about their traits and starts as young as 40. WOW.. I thought about Hospice employees.. I asked her if she ever thought about this, she just smiled. I said "..or is it just a paycheck?" Am I rude for asking? She never says anything. No, I was taking advantage of her having no opinion. I just want to know what her thinking cap is like.. more than likely, like mine when I was her age. So, to break the ice.. I really broke the ice..
I told her about a new friend I made a few days ago. I met her in town actually, we were looking at Art work. She started talking to me about the subject, and we got to talking. She told me she was the former Director of the Indian Center, and worked in Law Enforcement for so many years, and now she is taking charge of Neighborhood watch in her community. I told her, I don't do a damn thing but being a brat. She laughed.. so the afternoon went with all other kinds of conversation. Really, I was kinda get sick of her.. first of all, I was a bit intimated by her professionalism appearance and her verbal skills. I am just a regular Jane Doe. Well, so it went to other things and I told her my purpose for being in town, and she had what I was looking for. So, I went to her house to check out the merchandise.. and yea.. she was fully stock of her hobby.. she was "The Hobby Store".. she was fully stocked!! My eyes flew open.. I was like WOW! She really knew her hobby. She went about talking about spiritualism in our Nativeness, and other stuff.. I was getting bored again.. I played with her dogs.. German Shepards.. while she talked.. I told her I had to leave, and will be back on certain day to pay off the balance.
The day came, we (Hubby and I) went in her home and she had a friend there... He was collecting guns and knives. I was like.. cool.. We're talking OLD guns from way back 30's and 40's.. and still operatable.. I held one.. and pretend I was shooting.. it was awesum!! Then out of the blue.. She swore.. I looked at her and she just rambled on.. I had to laugh inside.. didn't expect that out of her.. So, I told Grandson's mom what she said... She just laughed and shook her head... I know she thought about it a few times... cuz she would just laugh and shake her head.. and I burst out laughing... SO, yah.. the ice broke.
I just sit here and think of things that will eventually come my way.
Soon, we will be moving.. I will have to find new things for Rey, have to start all over with a lot of things.. but that's just a routine for now. There are more important things to think about for the long run... whatever comes my way...
I just find this whole crusade to life a bit weird.. and we start all over again..
