alright time to get back to normal

i keep forgetting to tell this story.

a few weeks ago, the activities person at the home was leading excercises. she had pulled eileen over so she could participate (which we all know she wouldn't do - it was a nice idea, though). eileen started yelling 'you're nuts!' at her. at first i thought it was just an eileen dementia moment. then i thought, 'ok, if you have dementia and you see people marching in place and reaching their arms up and all that, they probably would look like they're nuts.' so that seemed logical enough given the circumstances. but as she continued to yell that they're all nuts, it dawned on me - she's right! she's having a totally with it moment! they're excercising. why the heck would anyone excercise? they're all nuts!
