Mon 28 Oct

Woke up this morning with a slight headache. While I was exercising, I felt less than 100% and I knew I didn't have a lot on my schedule at work today, so I decided to take a rest day to feel more healthy. I went back to bed after exercise until about 8:15 and am enjoying a leisurely breakfast. I plan to read, maybe watch a video, just generally relax. May do some additional exercise at some point if I'm feeling too slothful. Went to see Grandma yesterday and she was really not very much with it like her usual self. She had a hard time answering questions, either not remembering some things or getting distracted in the middle of her sentences. Knowing she has the vascular dementia diagnosis is helpful to me in understanding those days and truly valuing the days like last Sunday when she is more like her old self. Read in bed most of the morning after a dip in the hot tub. I suspect this rest will be very good for me. Still resting after lunch, reading and napping. Still have a bit of a headache, though.
