Using the exercise app I walked 1.72 miles today. I didn’t take any photos.
My brother reports my father didn’t eat anything at all today. He’s slipping away I fear.

Night Photo
I took my walk later in the afternoon today. It has been getting dark earlier and earlier everyday of course. My walk ended when it was dark. I decided to sit and rest at the bench and took a picture while sitting.
My father continues his decline. My brother reported that he didn’t eat any food today but did take water and some coffee. He is slowly unaware of what’s going on around him or who people are. He does still have his eyes open and reacts without words. I’m not sure how much longer he has. I have plans to return to Charlottesville on Monday but am wondering if I should go earlier. I’ll think about it.
Using the exercise app I walked 1.84 miles today.
Blue Wave
I stayed up late last night watching the election results. It was slow to happen but there was a blue wave in the House. The dems gained 37 seats in the house. Yay! But in the senate the dems actually lost a few seats. There are some still yet to be determined so the final number may take a few days. The dems also picked up lots of governorships across the country. That’s a good thing too!
Here’s what the leaves look like right outside our kitchen window. I think they are beautiful.
My father is on the decline. He is eating very little but is still drinking water and coffee. He still loves his coffee!
Using the exercise app I walked 2.26 miles outside. It’s getting cool so I’m enjoying getting outside again.
Voting Day
I drove home from Charlottesville today. I got home in time to go with my husband to vote. Of course we voted BLUE. We are really hoping for the blue wave to happen. I would love it if the dems took the house AND the senate but I know that’s a stretch. We went to the water front after voting and had a glass of wine. Then we went out to dinner. The sky was amazing while we were there. I took a ton of pictures of the sky. I have missed getting amazing pictures of the sky since I moved into DC. We don’t have a balcony and it’s difficult to see the sky unless you are outside. Seeing this sky reminded me of the days I would go out on my balcony and see an amazing sunset sky.
Not much of an update about my dad. When I left he was eating a little breakfast but was a little sluggish.
Using the exercise app I walked a 2.10 miles. That was good!
About The Same
My father seems to be about the same as he was yesterday. He’s still eating. He still seems to be aware and mumbling/talking still somewhat. My brother and I moved his bed around in his room so there was more room to get around the bed to help him. One sister and one brother have been here since Friday. I’m going home tomorrow to vote but I’ll be back. They will be keeping us all posted on changes and what’s going on.
I walked a total of 2.80 miles today.
