Another day another reminder...

Today started out like most Mondays...
Got up, got dressed, sat at my computer trying to plan my week using airset and the 5 portals we primarily use to manage our contracts.
check emails and see what i need to do to finish last week and get this week started..
This used to take about 20 minutes.
It now takes a few hours...
At 10:30 I was supposed to call Gm financial and make arrangements to get caught up on my wife's car payments.
The events of the last few months have resulted in my forgetting to get some bills paid correctly and we had agreed that I would call them today...
I got busy on the phone and also noticed I was behind getting a few contracts finished and almost left too late to make lunch with my wife.
After lunch I got busy doing other work and personal items before i could get to work on Wednesday..
t 5pm i was to be at the Alzheimer's local building for a meeting to get my wife and i signed up for early stage group. I was only 9 minutes late, which these days is good. I used to be 15 minutes early to everything, I am happy to be only 10 minutes late now..
I have alarms that go off all day on my phone and text messages to remind me of everything repeatedly so it is a help..
As i shut off my engine my phone rang...
It was my lovely wife. Amazingly calm considering, she informed me I was going to have to go get her as her car was gone.
They had come and taken it, the repo man we assume..
I was distraught.
This woman is the greatest  person to ever come into my life and my illness and I managed to get her car repossessed..
I apologies the best i could and heed her way trying not to cry while driving..
I got on the phone and looked up the number again for the gmac financial help line.
I eventually got through and explained the situation....
Mu name was not on the list as Karen and i have only been married since November and we have not had an opportunity to fax or emailed forms to them to correct her name and add me.
Eventually I made it to Karen and he gave  me the info i needed to get eh man to add me....
Now we have to find a way to get the car back...
I feel so bad , so so bad,,,
I can't believe I could have let this happen to my wonderful wife.
She is my world...
I pray she forgives me and that nothing is missing from her car and we can get it back soon..
This illness is not an excuse for everything, however it is definitely the cause of great dis concern.
Going from a photographic memory and person that does everything early, on time , organised beyond normal and always had an answer for everything to this muddled mess I am becoming is not explainable or expressible by any of the millions of words i used to remember...
I pray God give my family and Friends the strength to endure whatever I have in store for them in the future
I love you all. Please forgive me, I'm doing the best I can
I heard from my cousin that our friend is giving her father UN-purified coconut oil?
Has anyone else hear of this?
I will look for some tomorrow..

I am burned out tired spent
more tomorrow
God bless you all..
nite

  1. I'm sure your lovely wife will forgive you. This is a hard road, for both of you, but you will not help yourself if you allow it to stress you out too much. Count your blessings, they are many.
