Yesterday was my second exhausting day in a row, but I am taking the weekend and probably Monday off. "Off" of course, means catching up on grading papers and housework. Yesterday, after driving two hours to get to Venice, I spent two hours in bank setting up special checking accounts for their Social Security checks to get deposited to meet federal law. Then I found out they had just delivered my uncle into the memory care facility, so I figured I had better give them a half hour to get things settles, so picked up a bunch of ensure for him and other things for my aunt. Anyway, he still looks awful (5'10" and 125 pounds) and is even more incoherent than he was. They had him in a wheel chair and I was told he needs a different kind, so PT is coming Tuesday to determine what he needs. The facility keeps telling me they can take care of him, so I told the head nurse that this was her opportunity to prove it.
I only visited for about an hour, so stopped and did three huge loads of laundry on the way home. Got home at 8 pm, second night in row. Collapsed and grabbed leftover chicken. Even got to bed early.
So this morning, I slept in until 11 am and spent hour-and-half changing bed and sheets and cleaning up and putting away all the junk I have strewn around. Place finally looks back to half-way neat, and just ate breakfast at 1 pm. Got to take out trash, but am going to stay indoors rest of day. Weather is gorgeous, 78 degrees and breezy, but I am too tired to move, but I got a lot done yesterday and this morning. Now to catch up on grading papers from my class.
