Weight 118, calories 1206. I am exhausted. Another rough day and evening with DH leading to cancelling the evening out with friends and causing insomnia. He seems to be more focused when angry which bugs me even more. I guess it is adrenaline.

I'm not sure what to do at this point, but I may just disappear to the beach for the day again (3rd day in a row). DH still functions okay alone during the day.

Have a supportive Saturday.

Good morning

oh Liz, this a very difficult journey. (((((( hugs ))))))

a sort of quiet day and today may be a " quiet " one as well.

Have a good Sat everyone.

Liz, one of the nursing areas of care is caregiver stress. The main thought is you can not take care of DH if you are too stressed yourself. Leads to you both needing care. I don t have answers either. Change in medication if current dosing is not effective. Maybe a nighttime caregiver. I don t even know how he would respond at this stage. Eating went off the rails late in the day. Some junk food found the way home to our house and I ate cookies and chips. Organizing in the shop most of the day. Made another tool box to be able to put my drill and impact driver in. They are used the most and I do not like to just let them roll around loose. DD#1 and Adalyn are coming home today! That last treatment for ear infection caused an allergic reaction. Rash from head to toe. If the Benadryl does not keep it from getting worse they were headed to the ER. I don't think I have ever been around an infant that has stayed sick this much. More later, David

Good morning,

Liz, yes! Self care today! Well wishes to Adalyn.

I am on the ferry on route to the Olympic Peninsula.

Pic of my day's food below. I might or might not eat it all. I almost never drink the protein drink.....for emergency only. The kind bar doesn't usually look good when hot and sweaty. I don't like spending money at restaurants nor the average food they serve nor the time they take. I usually eat more when I get home.

Have a great day, Shel

Off on a train jaunt down the coast today. My friend wanted to do it. I think we'll go down to Oceanside then back up to stop in San Clemente for lunch or coffee then back home.

I must go jump in the shower so I have time to walk Fergie before leafing him alone for the day. I feel so guilty leaving him!

Have a good one all...

I am the goat paparazzi.

Nice goat shots, Shel!

I have so many! Look at him rubbing his head in the one above!

When you've got an itch, ya gotta scratch it!

Greetings Goat Herders

Forgot to weigh today. Off to the dog behavior seminar. All about learning how to destress your dog by playing with it. All kinds of rules on what and what not to do. Not sure if I am buying all of it but its interesting. An engaging speaker.

Liz, sorry DH is getting more agitated. Going somewhere else to retreat is a good idea as long as its safe. But I guess you have to plan for when its not.

Goats goats goats Shel, I assume its not all the same one. They were stalking YOU because of all that food you had. Looks like a great array of healthy stuff. Persian cukes, my favorite.

Well Tesla took reserve at the shows today which is first runner up. Better than getting dumped.

Dave I so wish Adalyn would get well. And I wish I could transfuse you to my DH so he would organize the garage.

Cecily glad you are getting out.

Not much else. Steak tonight. Diane S
