It is the little things

tboard · June 5

As a caregiver for my DH, who has mixed dementia, I can no longer work full-time, and I haven't been in a restaurant for over a year. I mostly get out of the house when I can bring my husband with which is a challenge and can be exhausting.

Recently, I have been sneaking out of the house early in the morning or late at night and taking Lime scooters out for a joy ride. Yes, it is possible I am a little old for that, but it brings me so much joy I just can't resist. I don't go far and I can see what is going on at home via cameras.

"Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space"

Good for you
