Physical

I think DH had a somewhat rough day.  He was clearly tired, but for some reason he did not sleep all day.  I think he used up his week’s worth of naps too early!  He did not say again that he felt bad, but he was awake all afternoon on Sunday, even had trouble getting settled and to sleep last night.

I think he enjoyed having DSS visit during the afternoon.  Also, he ate fractionally better .. in addition to the pot pie (requested for supper), he ate 2 “clementines” (tiny little sweet oranges). To my surprise, he did ot insist that DSS get him out of bed.  The TV is “fixed” (the remote corrected), so he had his entertainment. 

Once asleep, he slept through the night OK.  In the early morning he woke up a bit restless.  I went in and told him it was too early to be awake (and he grumbled a little that my hearing is “too sensitive”! LOL). 

People:

DSS and TGF with one of the boys came in the early afternoon.  I was afraid it would be too rainy to take the trash, but he (kid) got it.  (I haven’t checked that he emptied the outside can – the boys tend to skip that one if they can get by with it).  DSS stayed here while TGF  and I got med refills and groceries.  She tried to help me with a computer issue, but then they had to rush off .  Another wrinkle has been added to her weekends, which means whatever time I used to get has been compressed into a shorter time. 

Emotions:

I guess I’m supposed to be glad they bother to come by at all any more.  It feels more and more like we’re an inconvenience to have to fit into her much too busy life.   

I didn’t sleep well last night, and it’s very cold again this morning.  It was my own fault .. I hadn’t been in the den much, and completely forgot I had turned the heat off.  So over night a huge amount of COLD air was pouring in the rest of the house from the kitchen and den area.  About the time DH was wakeful, (his room was plenty warm) I figured it out and turned the heat on.  It’s better now, but didn’t get much warmer before I needed to get up.  The supply order comes this afternoon .. gain on a cold and rainy day.  I dread having to have the door open for him to bring boxes in.

It’s late in the morning now.  Mostly all I’m feeling is sleepy.  DH is sleeping, and is aware that he’s got the “sarm spot” in the house .. so I think he’ll be content to stay put awhile more.  I think I need a nap!  Everything is “done” (morning meds, email, critter care) so I should be able to sit and close my eyes awhile with no guilt!
