As I posted this morning, we got things going an hour or so early. Now, it's after one in the morning and George's talking about going to bed. Which is closer to when he used to before the stroke. I too am a little tired, and...

Finally. After what feels like a week of waiting, George's feeding syringes finally arrived in the mail. I ordered them at the exact same time as his formula, sponages and other supplies, but of course, they didn't arrive until...

Second of four tube feeds down. Chilly curled up at the foot of the couch. I thought I'd have to relocate him, but it turned out I didn't. He had positioned himself perfectly to where I could reach everything. Now George is...

Not just washed and dried, but folded and put away, too. I got tit done about an hour ago, but got distracted before posting this. Chilly is comfortably sleeping at the foot of the couch, and George went back to bake in the sun....

This morning was a bit of an early one. George and I got up, got dressed and got his peg tube done in about 30 minutes. This is becoming second nature. George woke up about an hour earlier than he had been, and wanted to get out...

George seems to be in a good mood. He let me do his tube a bit earlty today. He also went in to change. I have the dishwasher going. Seems like the day is going better than I had hoped. Chilly doesn't seem to know what to do with...

The sun is out, it's 11:30 in the morning and I've got this timing thing down. George and I both got up a little after 10, am, and his tube was done by 11. He needs his meds, but not for another half hour and I've not only fed...

Since the stroke, George has wanted me to spend time on the porch out front as the sun goes down. When I'd play Pokemon go, I'd sit outside with him for about an hour. I guess he wants to recreate that, even though I'm not leaving...

I am feeling refreshed and like I slept pretty well. I got so much done this morning. We're getting faster with George's tube feed, between gravity and the push-pause method. I had to open a new box of eed this morningm but that's...

Don't get me wrong, I love Chilly bug. He's my best friend. However, he's developed some unuusal habits. I have a bottle of coke beside me and it started to sweat. Chilly was licking the sweat from the bottle. Now he's giving...

Around 8 this morning, our neighbor's tree trimming service went to work cutting down the trees between our house and our neighbor's house. One or two of those trees in question were technocally on her property. We had it out with...

I have been a little off in terms of timing. Well, not that bad. George still got his pills on time which is important. However, he can be a bit of a time clock. An inside joke between us. Around midnight, or a bit before, I gave...

I got my weekly bath and hair wash like I planned. Got George's second tube feed in on time and wound up closing my eyes for a while. The bath and hair wash took a lot more energy this week then I thought so I wound up lying on...

It's that time of week. Nascar race day. I'll get my bath during the race as usual. Nascar race day, the pre-race show starts in about an hour. Once again, George and I got up and got everything done in about an hour. This...

A week or so ago, I ordered George's peg tube supplies. Everything I ordered came, except the syringes. I had gotten as much use out of his existing syringes as I could. But, was forced to order more online from amazon because of...

I am amazed at myself. Distractions aside, George and I got up, got his tube feed and got his peg tube dressing changed, all before 11:30. I even got myself and Chilly fed, too. I just started watching something on youtube, and...

Over the past couple of days, I've noticed George make more of an effort to do more. He tried to pour his own pepsi yesterday, and was successful today. When our neighbor rang our doorbell, I'd asked him to get the door. Even...

Once again i made it with time to spare. And, that included getting distracted, too. Yesterday was one of the best days earning-wise, and I think I'll do wll and not just barely make it this month. To early to tell, but I'm going...

The laundry is done. It just needs to be folded and put away. I made and recieved my grocery order, and got the groceries in the house. When I suggested doing George's tube, he growled at me, but we got it done. Now I can leave...

It's 10 A.M. and George and I have gotten up for the day. George is already enjoying the sun, while I write this post. In fact, I'm posting about the time I'd normally be thinking about gathering tube supplies. Didn't take much...
