Day 176

Day 176
Sunday, November 17, 2013
While Saturday was a very nice day, Sunday was a bit "odd".    The day started out very early with DH throwing the covers off and trying to get off the bed.  This went on multiple times over about a 3 hour period ... he had his mind set on getting up to find his lost ca keys.  I had to go on and get him up by 10:00 or so for fear he'd manage to actually climb over the rail .. and get hurt in the process!  Once in his recliner, though, he promptly went to sleep.
His sister came over around noon, and brought a lot of food from her cookout  While she was here, TGF and the kids got here.  (DSS was working on his shop while he had some help).  After sister left, I got DH back to bed for a nap.  We left the 15 y/o (he's actually very responsible), took the 2 little ones with us to get shopping done.  That was not much of a "break", as those 2 fought and bickered the whole time.  I had to put up with that when my boys were growing up .. I refuse to put up with it for someone else's kids, even if they are considered "bonus" grandsons.  Anyway, we got the grocery shopping done.  TGF had to be in another town by 5:00 to have her computer checked.  When we got home with groceries, DSS wasn't there yet.  So, we left one of the little ones and took the other with us.  On the way home the car acted up (she says it's been doing that) .. got almost home and it quit running and didn't want to start again.  She was very calm, but I was upset.  Cars not running upset me, especially when I'm *trusting* someone else to take caere of it for me.  She finally called DSS (who was at the house by then), and came and fiddled with something, and it finally started.  He told me he thinks it needs a fuel pump or filter.  (Frustrating how much it costs to keep a car running when I can't even drive!)  When we finally got home .. found that DSS had gotten DH up!  Well, good to know he had that experience by himself!  It was already getting late, so they left (she said they'd get McD on the way home; we had the food sister had brought).   I had to rush to get dialysis set up (and heparin will have to wait until Monday night).  It was later than usual getting him to bedc.  Just before going to bed he ate a barbecue sandwich and a bowl of banana pudding.  He should have slept well .. he mostly did, other than the coughing.  But he woke up way too early, and when I tried to convince him he was NOT in a movie theater, he begged me to take him home.  That really tears at my heart.   He's gone back to sleep finally.  I hope he sleeps late and wakes up "at home"!
