I had a real problem getting Wayne up for home care this morn – woke him at 10:30am and thought I heard him in the bathroom. He was asleep again. Told him the aide was coming and he had to be up,”Why?” So plaintive.

Seems I should be able to let him sleep – would be the easiest shift any care aide put in – but, I love that they take him for a walk. He never resists them about walking.

Went to HD to check out screen, doors, carpet and vinyl and showers. No prices on anything and couldn’t get help – everyone was busy. “I’m busy, too, you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Off to Safe*ay, grabbed a cart and had forgotten my list at home, could barely believe it.

Over to Taco Ti*e and bought a burrito – best part of my day! Sat in the car, set the timer and read the book I always take along.

Felt guilty as it was really a wasted care day.

Had our new bed delivered yesterday so he was up at 8:15am. It’s pure Heaven to lie on and between Heaven and fatigue, he napped on and off all day.

At bedtime I asked he if he enjoyed the new bed – “New bed?”

Today is my day out – no specific plans except to research for screen doors and new carpet for the lower level. We had excellent product and service from Home Dep*t when they installed new interior doors so I’ll go back. Also, new flooring in all 3 baths – tile? Not sure, think I’ll stick with vinyl – a creature of habit.

I’m asking about a phantom screen for the door to the garage – we get a wonderful breeze and lots of sunshine as it faces west. The other screen doors will be regular – I need a wee lock on it to make me feel more comfortable.

Thank you, Everyone, for your comments last post. Basically, Life is good.
