Dementia: ‘2 day’s Monday’

I think the time has arrived to have a fairly fixed weekly routine.  Carers are now needed on most days to help me to keep Maureen stimulated and safe.  I also need to build in regular activities that I go to when carers are here.  In addition Maureen and I need to have a couple of fixed feasts in the week.  I am hoping that regular routines will be of mutual benefit.  Which day of the week it is won’t matter it will all come down to whether it is: ‘Wash Day Monday’ or ‘Fish and Chips Friday’.

I’m hoping it won’t take long to have a name for each day.  Then I can put up all sorts of clues to remind Maureen which day it is.  We want to avoid haddock in the washing machine on Monday’s at all costs.  As the song says:  ‘2 day’s Monday’ and the first lot of the day is about to spin.

Decadence seems to have set in on these cool Autumn mornings as we have taken to listening to YouTube in Bed.  I don’t know what Oliver Sacks would have said about that!
