I dont believe it!!

Even worse this morning, carer came at 7.10am. I would have slept for another hour. DB did manage to get washed and dressed, but is now lying back with a dizzy!! I am going to have to ring and ask them to come later. I know they have other patients but it really was too early.

Yesterday was a cooler day, in fact we both had to put jumpers on. This morning the sun is shining again and it's quite warm.

I need to go and get dressed, still in my night attire. Did sleep better, but could have done with the extra hour or so.

Need to do a freezer dive for tonight's supper, not sure what we actually have. The kitchen freezer needs a clear out and clean.

And again

 3 days in a row, carer came to get him up, no way, he could not even lift his head. Finally made it out of bed after 10am. I had to send the carer off. If this continues, I am seriously thinking of stopping them, they are coming too early in the morning, it was 7.30am this morning.

Weather is changing the temperature is down and there are grey skies, would not be surprised to see rain later today.

When DB finally made it out of bed, I helped him wash, he more or less dressed himself.

Cooked the prok yesterday, we will have it with rice. Finished the jelly, so DB will have to have ice cream if he wants a dessert.

Two days in a row

DB was in bed until after lunch yesterday and this morning he is asleep in his chair in the sitting room, for some reason his dizzies have ramped up, which is annoying.

Its another sunny day, yesterday was a record for 1st May, but the forecast is for change back to more normal temperatures next week.

I did a bit more clearing out yesterday, I am finding it difficult to get going in a morning.

Surgeon rining me this morning re my left leg. suspect I will be discharged, not willing to have surgery just now.

Supper will be fish and chips, DD2 will bring them after work.

Phew

its very warm, yesterday was a scorcher, although we were cool enough in the sitting room, the sun moves round during the morning. I shut the blinds and curtains in the bedroom and brought the fan back in, although we did not need it.

I have no idea whats going on with my sleep according to my watch I slept for 3 hours last night. I think its mis functioning........I was awake in the night, but had been to sleep before then. Think its going to end up in the bucket.

DB's carer was early this morning, so he had to get up in a hurry which has pushed him into a dizzy......so he is back in bed for now.

I have a grocery delivery coming this morning, they have changed the small pack of tea bags to a large one...trying to keep the oderer down, so they will be going back.

I am going to try and set myself a goal for each day, this morning I need to photograph the two electric radiators and put them on Gumtree....... if they do not sell, one of the charity shops will take them. They are new and both thermostatically controlled. Have only been used a couple of times.

I think supper will be cottage pie, oranges in jelly for dessery, have some cream to finish up.

Better night

very thankful,, after a week of bad nights I managed almost 8 hours last night. Woke up this morning feeling quite a bit better,

Put DB in the car and went down to the Post Office to draw some cash to pay the cleaner and gardener next month, so solvent for a short while.

Another very warm day, I have windows open all over the house, not sure how long it will last.

Nothing much to report, still struggling to decide where to move our savings to......... might end up putting it in the same scheme updated for the next 12 months. I do not want to tie it up so I have no access to it if I need it in the future.

Gammon and salad for supper tonight, have done mandarin oranges in jelly for a dessert.

Freedom

Last evening the lady called in from the adult care. I have been signed off, no more carers for me, just for DB. I am mostly doing everything I used to inspite of the pain from the arthritis in my knees, just take longer to do it!! I am so pleased that we had a cleaner and a gardener already working.........I am trying to do one job a day, i.e. laundry, and hanging it out. Its a very warm day but there is a breeze, so the washing will dry. Yhats my job for today.

Trevor did his usual great job in the garden, it looks really good just now, a lot of pots are starting to show growth. He did not do the grass yesterday, its been so dry its not grown yet.

Supper tonight sweet and sour chicken and rice.........

Despite taking the pills I only had 5 hours sleep, I am not sure my inspire is working properly. DB said I was asleep before 10.30 last night........I was awake briefly but not for 3 hours.

Oh dear

another bad night, thats a week of not sleeping. I am going to try taking my last dose of medication before I go to bed........not taking any more during the day, I can manage, but with DB's condition I need sleep.

Went and collected Trevor this morning, I have also potted up the hydrangea plants, they are in the tomato house until they start growing, hopefully it will protect them from frost. The clematis on the arch has 4 flowers out on it, with plenty more to come.I bought it reduced late last year, the flowers are huge.

Mince for supper tonight, with mash and veg, there is also enough to put a shepherds pie, minus the potato topping in the fridge, will use it up later in the week.

No sewing done, no more clearing our either......need to get my mindset sorted. DD2 is coming this afternoon, might get her to help me.
