Good start, bad finish sums up today. We had a few odd jobs to do today. I had some paperwork to do, and kp had to plan our nightly menus and shopping list (for tomorrow).

So, we had a nice breakfast together, and went for a snooze because we had been up for a couple of hours during the night. Like we need an excuse !

After breakfast, kp started to get very quiet and didn’t want to do her menus/shopping list. In her words, she was feeling very flat.

She just sat very quietly and watched tv and then went back to bed, where she is now. Fingers crossed, she wakes up feeling a bit more “with it”.

Uneventful day.

Just a little example of kp’s mental problem that has just arisen.

After her snooze, she got up and decided to do the menus/shopping list for the week.

She wrote up Monday’s menu (Roast Chicken) in the living room and went into the kitchen to check the supplies we have in to do Roast Chicken. She came back in to the living room to write up the shopping list and then did tuesday’s menu and went back in to the kitchen to check supplies and then returned.

I suggested doing the whole week’s menu and then doing ONE trip to the kitchen …

kp:- “My mind doesn’t work like that anymore. Let me do it my way.”

Anyway 5 trips later, we have menu and recipes done
