Day 240

Day 240

Sunday, January 19 2014

Physical:

This was a remarkably quiet day for DH.  He stayed in bed until close to 1:00.  He would wake a bit, say he was warm and comfy, and go back to sleep.   Once he did get up, he stayed awake most of the rest of the day, with only a few short naps (less than half an hour each).  He ate 3 tacos for supper .. a bit unusual for him.  And, he slept all night again!

People:

It was the usual Sunday “crowd”: DSS, TGF, and the boys.  TGF and I did our usual weekly errands, and picked up (the above mentioned) tacos for supper.  I know, not terrible “nutricious”; but we just wanted something different!

Emotions:

I’m awake way too early .. but that’s partly because I fell asleep too early.  Apparently I’m only “allowed” a certain amount of sleep .. it seems to average around 5 to 6 hours.  I got that much, though not completely consecutively.  Maybe tonight will be better, since I’m not likely to sneak in a nap today.

The volunteer is coming this afternoon; I don’t know what we’ll do yet.  I’m leaning towards decorating the tree that stays up all year (blue ornaments for winter – hopefully before winter is over!)

I’m still waiting to see if all the pieces will fall together for  … something. 

I’m doing sort of better at staying ositive; but I’m so tired by evening that it gets harder then.  I seem to reach a point in the late afternoon that I just crash.  But, I’ve had fewer recent spells of crying jags.  Dare I hope that the drops for my eyes are working and that’s part of it?  I think also, having fewer issues dangling helps (mail is currently under control, and starting next month a new – system in place to pay rent).    Also, I talked to the pharmacist yesterday, and it’s OK for TGF to pick up refills for me … which could make Sunday afternoons easier too.  (she can go by on her way home from school, and they know she has my permission to pick up any Rxs and put it on our express pay.  I know the pharmacist will call me if there’s any problem!).  So, a lot of things coming together gives me less to worry about.  The physical stress is not going to go away, so that’s just a matter of keep on doing what there’s no alternative for doing.

ore pieces fall into place.

I really don’t know if I’m feeling less depressed, or just tired to the point of numb! LOL!
