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.
