This is a funny anecdote: When my Alzheimer's-ridden mom wanted to tell someone that she had pounded the pavement, looking for a job (accounting) in NY after college, but what she said was, Ï walked the streets of NY, if you know what I mean," I laughed, in spite of the stress of caregiving. Whenever she would say or do something funny, I jotted it down. It was therapeutic. These anecdotes (mostly funny) became a book: "My Mother Has Alzheimer's and My Dog Has Tapeworms: A Caregiver's Tale." Writing and then laughing (not at my mom, but at the disease), became my lifeline.

I LOVE these joke tidbits!!

Not a joke so much, but one day I showed up to mom’s MC with a ukele, plastic leis to hand out, and wearing a GIANT orange muumuu, and announced, “ We’re going to Hawaii today!” Confession: this was probably more for my sake than hers, but later I realized that mom and some residents actually thought they had gone to Hawaii. I felt like a wizard.

Also forgot a change of clothes ( I live 1 hr away ) and had to run errands, went to post office and grocery store in said orange muumuu. No one batted an eye so I wonder what my natural vibe is hahaha

Still bringing the Ukelele to MC because it is a magical instrument.

It takes 43 muscles to frown
and 72 to say, “F*** off!”

Totally worth the extra effort.
