Either his or my thermostat is on the fritz – I think his. It’s 29 degrees (88-90). Indoor’s it’s reading 24 – I asked him several times if he’s comfortable,”Yes” – then he gets up and puts a flannel shirt over his t-shirt.

I have a fan running just to circulate air and the A/C set on 24 – he said to leave it, “It’s Ok” but I knew he was cool. It’s going to be a long, long summer in our house:)

Mentioned to Shirl that I was buying a bath bench and she had a “never used” one at her home. I guess Dad had purchased a new bench but never got to use it. So, that saved me $155.00

I set it in the tub in the main bathroom – didn’t mention it. Actually, I love a good soak in the tub but the older we get the safer we should be so I may use it occasionally, also.

We bought a new bathmat yesterday so we’re set. All I need is a willing victim – - -

After talking with Tracey (the RN) today, I have come down with a case of the guilts. Told my sister and brother about her call & they were both excited for me – why am I shrinking and feeling like I am being – what, I don’t know, guilty?

Today, about 6pm, we decided to shop WalMa*t – a 30-45 minute journey. I opened the garage door and he looked over at me and said, “Burn rubber” and smiled. I felt so guilty to be “scheming” to leave him for 4 hr/wk.

How do I tell him?

Well, Friday couldn’t bring better news. Our home care RN just called to see us June 3rd 11am – then she will set up a time for us to have 4 hours per week for me to do my YMCA and lunches,etc.

Oh, happy day!!!

Stressed out, I guess that’s it. I’m clenching, not grinding, at night. Wake up with such a sore mouth and tongue. Off to my precious MD, we decide to try a muscle relaxant. I have upper and lower night night guards, upper and lower soft trays and upper and lower life full of stress:)

Anyway, don’t know what else I can try, I’ll go back and see if he has any other suggestions.

Do you have a suggestion?
