Hard to get going today

I have been missing in action today, on myLot. First of all, I stayed up too late last night, and kind of got a chill. Then I had a bed time snack. It was a prepackaged item and it had way too many carbohydrates for anything. It was a Clif bar. A diabetic should not load up on carbs at bed time. For me, at least, it is a sure guarantee of lots of waking up to use the bathroom. Like maybe five times. Hubby turned the light on at 5 a.m. He was having a medical malfunction that resulted in needing to clean the bed.(leaking catheter) I let him go sleep in one of the guest beds. He helped me strip our bed and we started laundry. I was UP. I went to another guest room and there was a huge wet spot on the bed. A spill?, A roof leak? A cat who was angry and peed on it? Someone laid a wet rag on it? WHO KNOWS. So I stripped that bed. This is two queen size beds, with comforters and blankets, etc. I also washed towels today, since I did not on Friday. Five loads of wash for me today. Also, my lead teacher is redoing our schedules to attempt to help with someone who has discipline problems. We are communicating by e mail and I am printing copies of changes. I tried to take a little nap. Hubby came in and started doing stuff in the bedroom, like putting his clean socks away. So I got up. I looked up a medication he is on and I hope he talks to our primary care physician tomorrow to see if he thinks it may be causing the bleeding (going on six months), and if there is another medicine hubby should take. Heading to the shower now and hoping to get a lot of sleep tonight.

@DianneN is right, carbs are never good before going to sleep. Weird that you found a big spot on the bed of the guest room. Have you an idea who done it?

I suspect Princess. If she smelled the cats that belong to my guest, who had left, she might have done it. Probably did.Upset to smell other cats in her house.

@GardenGerty If another cat was there, I suspect that she did.

@GardenGerty I agree with @LadyDuck. Cats will do that. Those little stinkers!

Any carbs are no good for anyone if they eat them and sit or sleep. Sorry about your laundry. I do hope your husband speaks about his medication tomorrow. That is a long time to bleed. Have a great week at school, and I hope the new schedules help with that student's discipline problem.

So tonight I ate a cheese stick. The doctor says he has a UTI probably. Hmmmph. Next week we see the urologist. When he gets tested for a UTI he never shows an infection. I still think it is the meds.

@DianneN It has not been good for him. Right now he is on NO heart meds, just a baby aspirin, and the antibiotic. There was an issue with the refill of the last one, AND as I read it, it also can have the same side effects. The doctor was okay with him discontinuing the Coreg.

@GardenGerty I hope the doctors can figure out what exactly is causing the bleeding. That can’t be too good.

That is sure a lot of laundry. You certainly deserve a good night's sleep. Hope you have a restful night.

Queen sized blankets and comforters take up a lot of space.

He is off that medicine. The one other med the heart doctor prescribed cannot be refilled without the doctor prescribing it. It also has some of the same side effects. I told him it is good he can just be off of all of it.

A couple of months ago our primary care discontinued the warfarin (blood thinner) and digoxin (heart med) to help with the bleeding and the stomach pain and the lack of appetite and the lethargy. Hubby was anemic at that time. Less bleeding now, but still should not be any. He is really good to keep hydrated. I do not have to nag him or anything.

Nope, we do not take Columbus Day off. Next Monday is supposed to be off, but our class is going to have training. I will go in the morning to the training, then the afternoon to the urologist with hubby.

Last night was good, and I slept okay. Work is work. Massive schedule changes are hard to deal with but there is a situation that had to be taken care of.

The cliff bars are hit and miss for me. Some of them are really horrible.

Oh this one was yummy, and it was a coupon deal on a loyalty card. I should have had one fourth of it carb wise.
