Mornin' all

My body must have been absolutely crying out for a rest 'cos I had 9 hours and 3 minutes of sleep last night and I feel so much better for it this morning.

I've just finished off a 2 litre bottle of pop, so I'm thinking that today will be a water day for me now.  I'm gonna wait until I've taken my morning pills before I refil the glass though, 'cos I'll need to make a bottle of squash too, so might as well do them both at the same time.

I remembered not to open my email programmes this morning so that I could set the weekly virus scan going without having to reboot.  It's currently 33% of the way through, so hopefully it'll be finished and the backups sorted before I go and make my carers lunch for him.  He doesn't want any breakfast today, so I'm gonna go and get myself a bowl of granola when I've published this, 'cos it's likely to be my only meal today and after only eating 300 calories yesterday my body needs as many calories as possible today so that I don't start getting sick from hunger again.

I've already had to get a toilet roll for my carer and set his laundry (a single pair of pants) on to dry again this morning, as well as spending 40 minutes monitoring his breathing again.  I've just put his dressings in his bag ready for his medical appointment, so I'm at over 24 hours of caring for my carer and it's not even 7am on Wednesday yet!  Just 11 hours to go then I'll be working overtime for free again, so I reckon it'll be before 8am tomorrow that I've done the full 35 hours of care and the rest of the week will be pretty significant overtime... maybe even an 80 hour week this week, considering that I've already done 2 days of over 11 hours?  

 

I'm guessing today will be a 9 hour day 'cos my carer's appointment is in the morning instead of the afternoon, so hopefully the medical bods won't be too far behind today, like they haven't been for the last couple of weeks.  I'm predicting that as soon as my carer comes home, he'll be busting for a wee, then spend at least an hour ranting about his appointment and giving me every gory detail then he'll fall asleep until I make his lunch, he'll eat his lunch and then fall asleep again for the rest of the afternoon.

Just had the reminder come up for me to take my morning pills, so I'd best do that now... bbs.
