Jimi took off today for Sarasota; well, I was going to drive and take her, though she can still drive; because, this is a long distance trip...and well, now, it'll be an adventure. Jimi is great physically and mentally, she has trouble with words, pictures, and ideas connecting up with speech. I don't like the word dimentia so I don't use it. I dont' exist in denial, I just don't chose to use that word here. And I have these cold sores and I'm tired. That's why I'm home and she's on the road alone...kaivalya.

She left about a half hour ago, by herself...with directions, with the name of the store she's headed to and snacks consisting of mini chocolates from Halloween and a bottle of bottled H20. She couldn't find her cell phone to take along.

"Can I take Isabella with?" Jimi asked and chuckled. "Mom," said Olga, that's me. " I know, I know she can't help me", answered Jimi.

"What about Darshan?" Jimi pondered. "Well," said Olga, that's me, "Sure, he'd love to take a car ride south to Sarasota, he loves riding in cars...or getting in them, not sure he actually likes to drive in them."

Jimi left without any fur.

So, it's quiet and the time of life that's most quiet is when Darshan is asleep, and Isabella, also, is knocked out...to love animals so deeply and to love them most when they're asleep says something, but what? I need more time alone? Oh, yes, that's true. There's a sanskrit word, kaivalya..it means 'alone with God'. That's what I always need and have, right now, while Jimi's on the road to ...275 south.
