Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Dealing with Early Dementia

 



Today someone in the house wasn’t happy how her Christmas tree was decorated next I know there was no more decorations it was placed in a plastic bag.

What happens when the person who had decorated the Christmas tree doesn’t remember she was the one who did it the second time around?

We have a family member who is under going through early dementia no matter if you tell her she was the one who decorated the Christmas tree she will not remember.


The family member wanted it to have fewer decorations on her Christmas tree and didn't like what color ornaments was on her tree.

The Christmas tree that Gina had decorated beforehand felt there we're too many things going on with the tree with big ribbons. The family member thought it was too busy and distracting the way she had looked at the tree.



From the moment on a person begin to age every year the memory gets worse and once the person stress themselves from their environment for a person who has been a perfectionist has always been a difficult time dealing with them.

Even when she wasn’t going through early dementia what happens when the environment she is not in she feels she wants to find a flaw in what anyone does around them.

All I can say it takes patience to be around those kind of people who knows one day we will reach that point in our life as we get old like them.

People with early dementia doesn’t mean to cruel to you or try to give people a hard time they are also reaching a peak moment of adjusting themselves to the life that is encountering to some people it takes a lot of admitting they are like this with personality changing.

No matter what let them win and guide them during the process of early dementia.

I had volunteered my two hours to decorate the Christmas tree as much as possible I tried to balance it out on whatever decorations we had. I had used my Christmas decorations that I brought along with me from California and combine the other ones that was available to contrast the color combination.


My snow man top tree is missing cannot be found went ahead and ordered one online with a skirt to be placed on the bottom of the Christmas tree finally it can be complete with Christmas gifts underneath.

Hopefully we can stop decorating our Christmas tree before it reach Christmas Day until now enjoy our tree how it is right now in our home.
