Day 189

Day 189
Sunday, December 1, 2013
Physical:
DH had a fairly good day.  He slept late so wasn't miserably tired by bedtime.  He did wait until after he was in bed, and I was just before turning the light out .. when he announced he had to go to the bathroom.  Annoying, but nothing I could do but get him back up.  And wait. (for nothing).
He requested that I get him a Coke because he had a "bad taste" in his mouth.  But when he got the Colke, he didn't really like it.  I wish I had thought to get him something like a ginger ale.
He ate "light", but did snack a bit.  He was not particularly hungry
People:
DSS and TGF came as usual on Sunday, but the day was very haphazard.
Emotions:
I have come to realize that Sunday's are actually highly stressful.  They didn't start out that way.  I guess it's because of the failing vision .. there are more and more things I need help with.  And there's just little to no help to be had.  
They didn't get here until just after 3:00 (because DSS had insisted they had to rake leaves before coming over here).  And of course, as usual, the boys were starving.  So TGF and I got out what left overs there were and the boys "grazed".  (I had made DH a sandwich earlier).  TGF and I went to the pharmacy, Wal-Mart, and grocery store (last stop only because I'm a snob and insist on FL brand bottled water! LOL!).  I actually didn't have a huge grocery list this week, but had to get enough for a week and a half this time.    Bh the time we got home it was dark, of course.  We got the groceries put up; and then she helped me go through about 3 weeks worth of mail.(Good thing I didn't just throw everything away .. there was an Ebates check!).  
We had to get the boys to put the trash in the truck, hurry them up through showers, etc.  
Once they headed home, I still had to get the silly cat to come in; and it was past the time I usually get dialysis set up.  I did finally get DH settled .. and the kitchen was a mess. :(  I still had to get what food was left put away, and try to get dishes soaking.
Monday mornings are depressing only because I wake up and see how much disaray I have to straighten out.
And there are Still so many things undone.  I've never before not had Christmas decorations up by December .. and right now I don't even know if I'll have any.  I still have to get fall put away.  And I don't have room to put trees like I've done in the past few years.  Right now I don't even have room for my one "big" tree.  I was told that next Saturday they'll get an a/c and an aquarium out of the house .. but I've been hearing that, and it still hasn't happened.  And that puts me another whole week into December.  If I'm going to decorate, I like to have things out long enough to enjoy (last year TGF decorated on Christmas Eve, and finished on Christmas morning .. to me, why bother?)  I know at this oint I'm sort of babbling.  I'm not curl-up-in-my-chair-and-cry depressed.  I'm more just that I have no enthusiasm, no motivation, none of the Christmas spirit I used to have.
