I am so out of routine

Got Bob up and we went to an appointment. . . that he did not have. It must be tomorrow. It was at an office that rotates in three different doctors, so the person at the desk had no way of knowing if tomorrow was the day or not. We had things to do in Newton anyway. We have things to do in Newton tomorrow as well. I have not been sleeping very well and that is likely why I am getting confused and tired.

It's hard to get a good nights rest when you're a caretaker, I pray you'll get some really good rest soon.

If we were to ever get into a healthy rhythm this could be fun for us, but his health keeps bottoming out.

Like I said, we had errands to do and it is getting to the point that we need more than one day to get it all done. We went to the library and a specialty store.

Sleep deprivation can really confuse us. I hope you'll be able to have a good night sleep.

I think it is especiallly hard for carers because they can't take time for themselves, can't afford to not be totally with it, can't afford to have an off day or get sick. I do hope tomorrow is the correct day for the appointment.

The next day was correct. I was able to run errands in town on both days.

I found the paper where I had the date written. Otherwise, I would have called.

That’s understandable when you have so much in your mind.

Could I hand some of it to you? Never mind, you have your own burdens. Did your friend get moved?

@GardenGerty sadly, no. The house in Guthrie fell through and now she has nowhere to go.

I am so sorry and I know how you feel. My husband is not very well and he wakes me up a few times during the night. I am exhausted.
