Holiday plans

Tomorrow it will be four weeks since I took May to live in the residential living alternative for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other types of memory impairments. It will also be Thanksgiving Day. I am going to pick her up at the residential living alternative and take her to a movie. It can't be a noisy film, or a violent one, or a chaotic one, or a jarringly visual one, or one in which there's a terminal illness. Ice cream at the snack bar would be a good thing. A friendly ticket-taker with no exaggerated mannerisms. A row of seats all to ourselves. A restroom with only one way in and out. The less said about the holiday, the better. Thankful is not where she's at right now.
