I made a whole pot of coffee, not just a pod. Bob is enjoying it as well. I bet he goes for a nap soon, though.
Again today it is supposed to rain. We shall see. It is pretty nice outside right now.
It is the last day of the month, and I do not have any real news.That is also okay.
I am trying to think about a good home style lunch. We shall see. I also may go out on some errands if he naps. Or maybe not.
Personally I am trying to get on my exercise bike more often as it helps me not have leg pain when I sleep. I need to use it every day.
I cannot take care of Bob if I do not take care of me.
I will be here off and on today.

I already made chicken salad for our lunch this afternoon. It's in the fridge now cooling down.
It's cloudy here but we aren't supposed to get any rain today. Our temp outside is 62F right now. The high is supposed to reach 64F. We shall see.
I need more exercise than I'm getting but I'd like to go walking but don't want to wait until late at night to go out.

Unless there are really good street lights walking at night is a no go for me. In this town you would break your neck. No sidewalks, rough streets, etc.

@GardenGerty Same here... But that's when Pretty goes out walking.

I hope to get into a better routine. Besides exercise I need to do things that relax my mind like coloring or reading.

@GardenGerty Those are great activities to relax and such. Hopefully you're able to get these into your routine.

Sometimes I have to look for the good, but it is there.

The last day or two we have had small rain showers that are chilly. I hope Saturday is a nice day here.

No, you can't take care of Bob if you don't take care of yourself. My biggest problem in the caregiver thing is getting enough sleep. I have been trying very hard to improve that problem and am doing better. It's hard to function on little or no sleep!
An at-home day here as well and I am so happy about that. Cloudy, rainy and cool. Enjoy your coffee and your at-home day, Heather!

Are you up a lot with worry, or pain? Does your son need a lot of help at night?

Heather, he has decent days and bad ones. Sometimes he sleeps a normal amount, the trouble is it's not always at night when he sleeps. He does try to sleep at night. When his pain gets too much that is not always possible...if he wakes and starts wandering around half asleep, I worry as he has fallen before. I have learned to adapt if at all possible. If he falls asleep or takes a nap, sometimes I do, too. It beats not having any sleep, and I feel better.

I hope the humidity is not too insufferable. I think every day we get is a good day.

He would likely be in a nursing home, at least for a while. My daughter has said she and her husband would take care of him if need be.

@GardenGerty It's good you have back-up. Knowing that would mean just a little bit less stress on you.

Yes, you definitely need to take care of yourself and Bob. I hope you two have a good day.
