    Should be a relatively normal day at work, and later today the kids and I all have the dentist, which should suck up most of the late afternoon/early evening.  Hope they don't have too much homework  :D

    DH and I were DRAGGING last night.  We could only get 30 minutes into the 2nd to last episode of Severance and had to bail.

    I was so nice and sleepy last night.  Went to bed and just wide awake until...at least midnight.  I got up feeling rested though, so I'm just not sure what's going on.  It's annoying though.  I'd really like to start getting up earlier than 8 (I realize the immense privilege in that statement) because I enjoyed quiet slow early mornings and it just sets me up nicely for the day.

    I started watching Kevin Can Go F*** Himself last night.  I HATE it and it's really good.  All I could think of was, ma'am....run, Run, RUN and then do the same into therapy.  The acting is great and the set design/cinematography is incredible, the writing is ridiculously good and on point, but it's a hard show to watch.

    Otherwise, SSDD.  I have an eye appointment tomorrow.  The dilation the last few times has not been an issue, so I'm hoping tomorrow I can drive myself with no problems.  If it is, I'll just get an Uber home and get my car later.

    This is another long week already!
    Snow White was cute. Definitely had better live actions done, but it wasn’t horrible.
    I keep forgetting to do this, but anyone who online shops and has Capital One (I have venture), check out the shopping offers at the end of the app’s page. I got 30x miles for my last few purchases which helped significantly. Although it’s weird because I have two capital one cards linked to my app, and I’ll spend on one (used a lot), but my reward points goes to the other (not used as much). Not that annoying, I can just use the lesser used card once and awhile to cover those reward points/dollars, or even pull them to paypal I think.
    I love a good bargain!

    It's been a week already.  DH was dismissed from the hospital on Monday morning and transported to rehab.  We got him admitted and settled.  He was texting and complaining about the call light wait times in the evening.  I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I didn't visit. I chatted quite a bit with him.  By last night, he was done, and I needed to pick him up after work today.  I disagreed with that, but I encouraged him to stay and get stronger so he could get home.  I was hoping his attitude would change overnight.  Nope, the first text was about whether he should eat supper at rehab or if he would get something to eat on the way home tonight.  I texted the social worker who went and spoke to him.  He was not staying.  She sent in the provider (NP) who was able to convince him to stay until a care conference was scheduled (Friday morning).  So for now he's staying.  

    Of course, I want him home too.  BUT he has to be strong enough to get around or he'll fall and be back in the hospital.  Sigh

    While dealing with that, the cleaning person texted and needed to reschedule.  First world problem.

    Otherwise, I'm working onsite tomorrow and then have a dermatology appointment in the late afternoon for a skin check and to examine a few weird things going on.

    *hugs* @MNNEBride. It’s so hard being the logical caregiver. My dad is the same way. He is definitely cognitively (much less physically) not the same person he was pre-stroke. He fights my mom for everything, even things in his best interest. He would be the same way. I’m guessing you’ve done this, but have you talked to the social worker about how you don’t have the resources at home for a safe discharge? Maybe that will help keep him there or spur some orders for home health support? I’m so sorry. Healthcare is a mess. I hope dermatology goes well and everything is benign! 

    I’m in a funk. I need more friends but making friends as an adult when you don’t even have time for yourself is hard and also sucks. Anyways, SSDD. I’m pretty tired because the neighbor’s dog is left outside all night next to our window and won’t shut up. It’s so annoying. We finally made a report to animal control after trying to contact them and their landlord directly.

    Dragging here too. I ended up working pretty late last night, and then had to get the car and get groceries and blah blah blah, didn't make it to bed until late. I'm still annoyed that my MIL is here; I'm just not in a headspace to be entertaining right now. 

    Nothing much else. Just watching the collapse of democracy as per usual.

    Caregiving can be so incredibly draining @MNNEBride, you never stop.  All of the vibes your way and I hope that your H does not return home until it's safe
