Good Morning:
Thank you for the sunshine NatR, we had a bit of it here in B.C. where I live and of course we had the odd bit of rain, but it wouldn;t be the Wet Coast without it. My husband is from Ontario and I am origianlly from Saskatchewan. Therefore, we settled in B.C. as when he left Ontario, Windsor, he choose B.C. for his home.
Had an uneventful day yesterday, caregiver is wonderful. Her husband passed and she is so understanding and caring. The 4 hours out is good for the soul. Dr. has me going for blood tests so will do so this morning. Woke up at 5:00 a.m. wondering if I had fasted the required 10 hours, yes, I did, once again the doubts but I am not as anxious as I have been. I wonder if it is acceptance that I can only do so much.
I started to take care of myself, when John had his hair cut the other day, I asked the hairdresser if she could do mine. Yes, and I sure feel better. It is hard to get out for a haircut on the 4 hour respite as I have many other items on the agenda. She did a great job and with naturally curly hair what can go wrong, other than cutting it too short and it gets real curly. Feel much better having that done. Seems a lot of these things get put on the back burner now that caring for husband has been the number one item.
I find I wander around the house, actually condo, looking for things to do and then not doing them. It is like I have to push to do them, I get the floor vacuumed, but I find I am not doing the extras like making sure the laundry is put away neatly, I am just shoving them in their place, then a few days later I am shocked at the condition then straighten them out. It is not that important, so one day at a time and who really sees it when the doors are closed.
Looking forward to Saturday, the family is coming over to help us celebrate our 58th, I did make the angel cake, wedding cake for us for dinner last night. Put the cake top on, bride and groom , husband had a good laugh and enjoyed his cake. Had to give the neighbor half of it as it is too much for us. Family working so they didn;t have time to come yesterday that is why Saturday is the big day.
Looks like I have written a book again, since I found you I have been able to put things down on paper that I keep inside so if I digress and go all over the place forgive me but I feel comfortable just chatting with you all as you are like friends I have known for a long time.
It is 6:30 now so off I go, get things ready for the day and read a bit before I get husband settled in and head off for an hour. Take care and thanks again.
