Day 46
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
I’m getting a little better, I think, at “ordinary”
days. The days I see or talk to someone
are better; but the days I don’t are maybe a tiny bit less stressful. I’m having to learn to be by myself, do for
myself, at the same time as having to relearn how to do things I can no longer
see well enough to do the way I used to.
(for example, learning where to touch my finger to the Kindle to start
listening to a book, instead of picking up a book to read). That’s a bad example. There are lots of every day things no one
ever thinks about until it’s a problem.
I love earrings, and have a lot .. but it’s getting extremely hard to
tell them apart, especially the colors.
And try sometime to close your eyes and get toothpaste on a brush!
Anyway, Tuesday was not a bad day. In the morning I got a brief spurt of
ambition and did a little bit of rearranging.
It was beginning to really annoy me that the sewing/computer room was so
cluttered; and I thought there’s no reason I can’t use a corner of the front
room to put stuff until I can go through it or figure out where it needs to
be. It helped a lot just getting a small
pile of extra *stuff* out of here. It’s
frustrating to not be able to move forward with getting things back in place
where I want them; but in part I have to wait until DSS finishes getting things
out, plus DS has to get a chair. And I
will also be calling Habitat again, but I don’t know when’ maybe the last week
in May.
By a little before noon it had gotten hot enough
to slow down. During the afternoon my
SIL called, and we had a long chat. Then
I listened to my book until evening news came on.
One of my favorite shows, NCIS, had a very sad
story line (as well as leaving the story unfinished to wait for next
season!). It caught me really off guard.
Today is eye doctor day. So of course, I had a bad night. I woke around 3:00, and just couldn’t get
back to sleep. My one foot and knee were
achy, and I was restless, couldn’t get comfortable. I got up, made a cup of hot chocolate, and
turned on the TV. I was still awake when
the local news came on at 4:30; but sometime after that I dozed off until about
6:00. Since TGF is coming over when she
takes the kids to school, I went on and got up and showered and dressed. But I’m still really draggy. And, she’s bringing her 17 y/o son with
us. DSS doesn’t want him left at the
house alone (he tends to “plunder”). I’m
not sure about him being here all morning … afraid he’ll eat up my meager
supply of food!! Nothing I can do about
it … when you’re stuck being completely dependent on other people, you are also
stuck with their “rules”.
