Greetings from Diane's Boring Life!

Sorry I haven't been blogging much, but on a good note, there hasn't been that much to blog about. Things are okay!

Dave continues his struggle with this horrible disease. He is aware of the things that are happening to him, and everytime he has an "Alzheimer's moment", he recognizes it and makes some silly comment. I'm glad he keeps his sense of humor. I think sometimes people think we're nuts, but it's how we're surviving. For example, last Monday we were at the grocery store, trying to have a conversation, and Dave replied to a question with something completely off topic and very inappropriate. I asked him if he needed cereal for breakfast, and his response was "why don't we get naked and do it". It took me so by surprised that I starting laughing my ass off, which started him laughing his ass off (although he didn't know why he was laughing his ass off) and some lady started staring at us and Dave says "it's okay, I have Alzheimer's" like some badge of honor. I was laughing so hard I had tears. Later on that night when I was thinking about it, I had tears again, but not from laughing. This behavior is so "un-Dave like" it makes me sad.

No doctors' appointments recently, thank God. We'll probably have a cardiology appointment soon, but nothing scheduled. Since we've decided not have open heart surgery, I think we're both sleeping better. One less thing to worry about, you know?

On to happier thoughts...on October 17th I'm taking the day off (Saturday) and going to the Rose Bowl to tailgate and watch the UCLA - Cal game with my friend Shain. It's going to be so much fun! I wish Dave could go, but he doesn't do well in crowds like that. Still waiting for the Dodgers to clinch their damn division over the Rockies, but why do it now when you have 1 more day to play! Matt and I are totally stoked about the Monday night football game. We can't wait to see our Green Bay Packers kick some Viking ass in Lambeau Field! Woo-hoo!!!! During half time they are inviting fans to bring all their old Brett Favre shit down to the parking lot, and they going to torch it with a big bonfire! Awesome!

The grandkids are all doing okay. Dylan is finally not crying everyday when Heather drops him at Kindergarten. Dom's enjoying High School life at St. Bonnie's, all the rest are okay. Joey's playing football on the Hueneme Rhino's in the Pee Wee Division. I'm missing his first game today :(( Rhi is playing Volleyball in her school league and doing well, and Dom made the Freshman Football team as a starter!

If any of you are the praying type, I have 2 requests. My good friend Nancy has a beautiful grandaughter Krissy, who is in dire need of a heart transplant (her third!!) She has been in ICU for over 7 weeks now. They found her a heart last Tuesday, but upon visual examination, her surgeon decided not to transplant. We were all so disappointed! She desperately needs your prayers. The second request is for my dear, dear friend Jen Canton. She was thrown from her horse and suffered devastating breaks to both of her arms and all of her fingers. Her left elbow was so totally shattered, they may have to amputate because it can't be fixed. Same with the thumb on her right hand. Although she's home now, she is in excruciating pain 24/7. Thank God her daughter Ariel is there for her. If you pray, please remember both of these women in your prayers. Thanks!

Well, I guess that's it for this installment of Diane's boring life! Thanks for reading, post a comment if you want. Continued wishes for love, health and hapiness for all of you! See ya in the blogosphere! Love you all!
