How much longer is this self quarantine going to go on…

Monday was a pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the hungry boys and got me partially dressed and up in my chair to write my exercise cycle, I'm starting to get a pressure sore because I think I did too much too fast, I'm starting back at five minutes with my legs and five minutes with my arms and see if I can move up slowly without causing any pressure sores. Adela and Adriana came by to do some more work on decorating the fence area, they are doing a great job. I sat outside and had breakfast and put the muse meditation helper on for a while, it was a beautiful day but the sun kept coming in and out. The Woofpack came by to get the boys, they just can't get out of here fast enough. Karen put me back to bed and I had all day to relax, watch TV, listen to music, watch videos, organize more pictures and work on my webpage. Rosa came in and fed the hungry crew and then fed me, cleaned up, washed the dog beds, and vacuum before she left. I watch some more TV, wrote in my blog, wrote in my food diary, logged in my five minutes on my exercise chart, and organize some more pictures. I can't believe I'm doing all this and not going crazy, I'm so used to getting up in my chair and cruising around all day it's taken me a while to learn how to relax but I'm doing it and now I like it. I know a lot of people are going stir crazy but I kind of like having time home alone by myself.









 Tuesday was a pretty good day. Cindy came in and fed the hungry crew and we got a urine sample before I got up and got dressed, I have to go to the lab today and they're going to take blood and I'm pretty sure they're going to ask for urine. We headed over to the hospital and it wasn't too bad, around every corner you have to answer some questions… Do you have a fever? Do you have a cough or runny nose? Have you been around anybody who had the covert virus? Do they put hand sanitizer on your hands and then take your temperature. The weight wasn't very long at all and we got out of there pretty quick, the only issue was the Phlebotomist hood took my blood asked somebody for assistance because she had to use two syringes, I had to fill up 12 vials. While she was grabbing the first while she grabbed a little bit too hard and pulled it out of my hand and blood went shooting all over the place, even with the mask on I could tell the phlebotomist was a little angry. It went by fast and ended up they did need urine so I was glad we brought that Russia would have had to come back. We came back home just in time to meet Ronald, he came by to make sure my mattress was put on right and to fix a loose rail and my scale, he's from Hill ROM. He said everything looked good except he needed to order a cable that was cut and said he hoped to be back in a couple of weeks. I rested for a while and worked with Dude on some commands while Cindy went shopping for me at the grocery store. She came back and put everything away and then went home for the day. I watched TV for a while until I got a text from Rosa saying that she wasn't feeling good so she was going to send Adriana to put me to bed, she put me to bed and made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some fruit, vacuumed, washed a load of clothes and then left. I was actually really tired and fell right to sleep and I didn't wake up until the next morning at 4 PM, I never sleep like that and it sure felt great.

Wednesday was another pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the boys and then got me up in my chair to write the exercise cycle, I back down to only five minutes because I'm getting a red spot on my bottom. I sent outside in the sun and had breakfast and coffee, the sun peeked out a couple times but it was mostly cold. Bailey's grooming service came by, I haven't seen them for a while, to give the boys a bath. we did some personal care and I got to take a nice long hot bath, I really love my bathroom… It's starting to look like a relaxing, meditating spa room. Karen put me back to bed just as Joy came by to take Dude for a cruise around Santa Cruz. Rosa came in and she still had a headache but it's because she doesn't drink any water, she rarely takes time to eat and she works really fast. I gave her some D mannose, I found a really good one that is fast-acting. She got me something to eat and buzzed around for a little bit of cleaning, sterilizing, and putting stuff away. After she left I watch teen mom and organized a bunch more pictures before I fell asleep. I'm going to turn everything off and hope that it makes me go to sleep.





Thursday was a pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the hungry boys and got me dressed and up in my chair. Robby and I cruised down to Westside Animal Hospital and picked up his meds and then we cruised around Depot Park a couple of times and then came home, Robby was so excited to be out and about and I have to admit so was I. Dude and I took off for a cruise around Depot Park a couple of times, he was also excited to get out and about. We cruised back home and I watched TV for a while until Rosa came in, she fed the boys and then put me to bed. She buzzed around for a while and cleaned and vacuumed and washed some of my laundry before she left. I organized some more by pictures, watch TV and listen to music before I made myself shut everything off and meditate for a while.

Friday was a pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the hungry boys and they got me halfway dressed and up in my chair to write the exercise cycle, I back down to only five minutes because I'm getting a pressure sore from the back of my backrest… I need to get a higher Roho seat cushion. I a breakfast outside, the sun felt so great, and then we did some personal care and a nice long hot bath. I went back to bed and it was so nice, I was so calm and relaxed. Joy came in to take Dude for a cruise, she's a dog trainer and she is so impressed with him and I agree… He's so smart and caring. Adriana came in and fed the hungry crew and then fed me, she did some laundry and folded it, Washed my face and brush my and then went home for the evening. I spent the rest of the night watching TiVo, listening to music, and editing more pictures… Will I ever be done editing pictures?






Saturday was a really good day. Cindy came in and fed the hungry crew and then fed me and got me dressed in up in my chair. Adriana came in and we went through some stuff in the garage, some stuff to get rid of and some stuff to take to storage. Omar came in and he and Adriana took some stuff to the storage while Cindy and I went shopping to get some Dragon fruit and to Staff of Life grocery store to get some stuff for a barbecue tomorrow, Omar is going to come by and barbecue some skirt steak, baked potatoes, and Mexican corn. We also went by the buttery bakery and got some pastries for the morning, some bread for dinner, and dessert. We came back and Adriana put me to bed and got me and the boys something to eat. The rest of the evening I watched TV and wrote in my blog, edited pictures, and listen to music.

Sunday was a really good day. Cindy came in and fed the hungry crew and then fed me and got me dressed up in my chair. I took Robby for a cruise over to and around the ballpark a couple of times, he wanted to just eat grass but there were a lot of Fox tales and I didn't want him to choke so I tried to discourage it. We cruised back and Omar was here and he had the potatoes on the grill, he marinated some skirt steak and we were going to have Mexican corn and we also got a fruit tart and a Lemon Tart at The Buttery. I decided that since I took Robby for a cruise I might as well take Dude also, he is the one that needs to expend some energy the most. We took off through the lagoon and we got about halfway and it started pouring rain, I was trying to encourage them to go a little faster but by the time I got home I was just soaked. Adriana took me in the bathroom and blow-dried my pants and my shirt a little bit but it actually wasn't too bad because although it was raining the humidity was high. We visited for a while and Adriana and Nico play table tennis… I was the referee. We ate dinner and it was awesome! I didn't realize that Omer was such a great cook, he also made guacamole. My mom came down, we got her some cheese hot dogs, Adriana brought Josh and Nico and then later on Cindy went to go pick up Rosa from work and they came by and we had a really nice visit. We need to do this more often. Cindy came back with Rosa and Karen came over to get a plate for her and her husband to go. These people are so much fun, we just laughed a lot. Karen came back at 4 PM and we came inside to do some personal care so we don't have to do it tomorrow morning and everybody else pitched in and cleaned up everything… Such a great group I have I am so fortunate. After we did the personal care I watch TV for a while, wrote in my blog, played some games I listen to music until I fell asleep.

Getting use to this self quarantined stuff…

Monday was a long day. Karen came in and fed the hungry crew and then got me partially dressed and up in my chair so I could ride the exercise cycle and then go outside and have breakfast on the patio, it's such a beautiful day and this looks like it's going to be really warm.  the Woofpack came to get the boys for their Monday puppy play date, I'm so happy they get to go out and play and get a little exercise. While Karen is getting me some breakfast I tried out my muse meditation headband, it's supposed to read your brain waves or something like that to help teach you how to meditate… When your mind goes off track the sound of the river gets louder and when you're concentrating you can hear the little birds. It really does work, it's teaching me how to meditate and not to let my mind wander. A couple of years ago I met a lady from Los Gatos named Carolina, she came over once or twice and she came to the music in the Park when we were celebrating my birthday and she gave it to me. I charged it and tried it a couple of times but now that I'm using it at least once a day I really appreciate it. After breakfast, I came back inside and Karen put me back to bed and then up into the commode chair for some personal care and then a nice long hot bath. I can't remember how long it has been since I got a massage but I am so ready for one, I've been trying to do things around here so my neck and shoulders don't get tensed up but there's nothing like a nice long massage. After Karen put me back to bed and I worked on organizing my pictures some more, I'm having problems getting in to edit my new webpage so I'm hoping to get all of the pictures organized before the website comes back up… I think it will be a lot easier to move along on my website my pictures are organized. Rosa came in and fed the boys and then fed me and I was back to watching TV and organizing pictures again, it seems like the more pictures I organize more pictures I find. Rosa went home and I think I eventually dozed off for a while.






Tuesday was a pretty good day. Cindy came in and fed the hungry boys and then fed me, got me dressed and up in my chair. We decided what we needed today was a nice long drive down Highway one along the ocean, it's such a beautiful drive. We drove to Pescadero to get some soup from Duart's Tavern to get some green chili and asparagus soup and then right across the street is a little country store that has fresh artichoke bread with artichokes baked in the size of your fist. I looked up both places to make sure they were open but when we got there it looked like the whole town of Pescadero closes on Tuesday, I guess we will come back on Saturday because now I have to have some of that bread. On the way back we stopped by pigeon point lighthouse and of course, it was closed off to, there's a pie ranch on our way back so we stopped there for a while to let the boys get out and stretch their legs and we found out that was close also. It looks like they have a bunch of really cool stuff in there, pies, jams, local honey… We're definitely going back on Saturday! We came back and it was really hot here, out on Highway one it wasn't as hot and there was fog. I leaned back and rested for a bit until Rosa came in. She fed the boys and then put me to bed and fed me, I was back into organizing and editing photos while she buzzed around and cleaned and wiped everything down. I listen to some music, organized more pictures until I eventually fell asleep.

Wednesday was another pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the boys and then got me up in my chair to write my exercise cycle and have breakfast outside, I could really get used to this! This self-quarantine has really done some good for me, I have learned to stop and relax and enjoy my time outside more. I used to feel like if I was up in my chair I should be cruising around outside instead of just staying here, kicking back, and enjoying my yard and my boys. I tried the muse meditation headband again, I'm able to do it a lot longer and keep my mind under control a lot better. We came back inside I did some personal care and a nice long hot bath before she put me back to bed. Such a great feeling to be clean and comfy in bed. Joy came by to take Dude out to stretch his legs for a bit. Rosa came in and fed the fur guys and then fed me, we opened up some Amazon boxes, and then she was off somewhere in the kitchen… It looks like I'm not going to get my teeth brushed tonight, I gotta remember to start doing that right after I eat or else I don't know when I'm going to see Rosa again. I watch TV and organized more pictures, it seems like that's all I do anymore and I can't make myself stop. I decided to turn everything off after my mom came down the last time to take out the dogs and the next thing I knew it was morning, I'm going to have to start doing that more often.







Thursday was another nice long day. Karen came in and fed the boys and then fed me and got a dress and up in my chair. We set up the agility course and I practice some commands with Dude but by 1 PM it was too hot to be outside anymore so I just came in and watched some TV. My friend Trish texted me a picture of the stairs she's been working on, she broke up a bunch of tiles and made this gorgeous pattern… She said she had just finished the last one. Rosa came in and fed the boys, put me to bed, and then fed me. My butt was a little red so I might have to hold off on the exercise cycle for a couple of days. I just got my new mattress so it has to be the exercise cycle, I really hope it's not because it feels so great to get on an exercise. After Rosa left I watched some TiVo, I'm just not interested in TV that much anymore… Actually, it's probably this obsession with my pictures. I decided to give the pictures a break for a little while and work on my blog, maybe even get a little sleep.


 Friday was a pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the hungry crew and then got me partially dressed and up in my chair. I rode the exercise cycle, I had to go back down to five minutes twice because it looks like I'm starting to get a pressure sore...my butt is really red and inflamed Rosa told me last night. It was looking better this morning. I had breakfast outside on the porch, it felt so good to be up and out in the sunshine… It's supposed to get up to 75° today so I'm glad I'm out right now. After breakfast, Karen put me back to bed and my butt was bright red again, I really hope it's not the exercise cycle because I really don't want to slow down or quit exercising right now. It looks like I will be exercising as much as I would like to but it depends on what my butt looks like on Monday. We did some personal care and then I got to take a nice long hot bath before going back to bed, My hair is getting so long and always in my face so Karen tried writing it… I hope this works better than just leaving it down. Robby likes to go out on the porch during the day, we built a little gate at the bottom of the ramp so he can't go out into the driveway because then the delivery people won't deliver to the back porch if there's a dog. He also likes to go out there to get away from Penny because she always wants to, with him and he just doesn't want to. Joy came by to take Dude for a cruise, he's getting a little chunky. After Karen left I organized some more of my pictures and watched Judge Judy and the People's Court with Judge Milion, Judge Judy is really mean and I guess that's why she's really popular… Judge Milion is mean when she needs to be but also funny and I just love her bailiff. I'm getting a lot of pictures organized but it just seems like there's no end and I can't believe how many doubles, triples, quadruples of pictures I have… After I organize them I'm going to go back and try to find a way to get rid of the doubles. I'm starting to keep a food diary, an exercise cycle diary, and take my blood pressure every day… Thank goodness Alexa reminds me of all this or else I would forget. Adriana came in to feed the crew and then fed me, she straightened up and wiped things down, wiped everything down and fold some clothes and put them away before she left. Last night I shut everything down at 10 PM and I actually got some sleep, I'm going to try it again tonight… People have been telling me to do that for years but I just can't get my mind to shut down but now that I've started meditating every day with the muse I'm able to control my mind a lot better and it feels great. I watch some more TV and then shut everything down and fell asleep.









 Saturday was a pretty good day. Cindy came in and fed the hungry boys and then fed me and got me dressed in up in my chair. The Woofpack came to get the boys, and they were ready for some fun in the sun. Omar came in and got a list of stuff to do so he took off for the hardware store, she was going to crawl under the house and take a look at my tub because it's leaking and there was a couple of other things for him to hang on the fence and to build. Cindy and I took off for target to get some Mother's Day decorations, gift bags, and a card. There was a line down the street but I guess it always looks like a long line when people are standing 6 feet away from each other, we got him pretty fast got what we needed, and got out of there. We were going to stop by and get some donuts for the next morning but it was already too late in the afternoon and the donuts were all gone. I've been craving French fries so we went by McDonald's and I got 1/4 pounder and an order of French fries. We bought some food home for Omar and Adriana, Cindy had to leave to go get her mom and she was going to grab something over in Scotts Valley. Adriana was helping Omar fix the tub and they finished up right after we got home, we ate dinner and then Omar went home and Adriana put me to bed and then cleaned up and went home. My mom sent me some pictures of Robby and Penny, Penny wants so bad to cuddle with Robby and every time Robby notices her right next to him he gets up and moves away… When he falls asleep she tries to sneak and get next to him but as soon as he wakes up he bolts on there.  She gets so frustrated and then just starts howling, it's so sad. I spent the rest of the evening working on my homepage and listening to music. At 10 o'clock I shut everything off and made myself go to sleep.





 Sunday was another pretty good day. Mother's Day! Cindy came in and she brought some donuts, I was so excited! I've been really good about sticking to what I'm supposed to be eating even though I have been craving everything bad. I'm trying to get a lot of exercise and eat well so that when this self-quarantine is over it won't be an adjustment to get back out and start cruising all over Santa Cruz again. but I figure it's Mother's Day, This is going to be my one bad cheat weekend. Cindy fed the boys and then decorated by room for Mother's Day, she is so creative! We figured out how to put a bunch of my photos on the TV and it was pretty cool. Yesterday I ordered some Mexican food from a downtown restaurant and a quart of watermelon margaritas to be picked up. She went to go pick it up and we had a nice little lunch, just as we finished eating lunch my brother Stanley called and it sounds like they also had a really great day. My nephews David and Melissa were there and Stanley took a picture of them and their two for babies relaxing in the hammock.  I was having a really hard time keeping my eyes open, I had 1/2 a glass of the Margarita and I was definitely feeling it… It was really strong. Cindy cleaned up and went home to spend Mother's Day with her family. Karen came in and fed the boys and then we did some personal care and a nice long relaxing bath.  When I got back in bed I looked and I had gotten a text from my friend Trish, she finished the last step going up to her house and she sent me a picture. Karen cleaned up and went home and I looked outside at the driveway through my camera and the lighthouse/plant shelf that Omar had put together yesterday was gone, it talked about mounting it to the fence and maybe he should have done it right then and there but who would've known that somebody would come in my yard and take it? I'm not surprised but I'm really bummed. I worked on my homepage a little bit more and watched I'd kill for you on ID TV until I fell asleep.

Still in self quarantine but learning to be okay with it, the weather is beautiful and that helps…

Monday was a really bad day and a really good day. today is my mom's 81st birthday! We planned a little driveway birthday party for her. Karen came in and fed the boys and then she got me dressed to ride the exercise cycle but I kept getting really bad chills and a headache, she looked it up on the Internet and said it sounded like high blood pressure and she took my blood pressure and it was 225/ 175 so of course I immediately started panicking… I do not want to go to urgent care or the hospital. It said online what you need to do is exercise so I almost got up and got on the exercise cycle but I had a really strong feeling it was because I needed some personal care, it's been since Friday and eight that stuff I shouldn't have been. She took it again and it was closer to normal and then I started getting chills and a headache again and she took it and it was really high again so we decided to just try some personal care and thank goodness that was it, it was a really long and hard session and I got to take two baths and a shower but we finally finished by 3:30 PM… Karen comes in at 6 AM. We were both exhausted and I really wanted to stay in bed but Karen talked me into getting up, she said I would feel better getting outside in the sunshine and laughing with family and friends so I reluctantly did and I was SO glad I did. I went outside and the decorations looked amazing, Adriana and Cindy did a great job! Rosa was in the kitchen making chicken enchiladas and rice, it smelled amazing! I hung outside for a while and was just amazed how beautiful it looked and I was so glad I got up. Adela and her sister made some spinach and cheese Papooses and they were so delicious! The enchiladas were cheese and chicken, everything was just incredible and everyone had a good time laughing and joking. Adriana and Cindy had suggested that I get a hold of my family and have them do a group to zoom call but I forgot until the last minute and my brother Stanley texted me and said Robert was trying to set one up so we set it up and it was really cool. I wish we could've included my brother David and his family but there just wasn't time. It was really fun to talk with them and share everything that was going on. I think my mom really loved it! We invited my uncle, my aunt, Fred and JoAnn but they decided it's probably not a good idea… They have really been taking the stay-at-home advice to heart and understandably so. After we ate we had the tart and a chocolate cake we got from the Buttery, it was a really great day. I could meet very much because my stomach was still upset and I mostly tilted back in my chair, every time I sat up I got a little dizzy. Cindy brought over the boys, Joshua and Nico… They are so sweet and funny!  Cindy and Adriana cleaned everything up and put everything away while Rosa put me back to bed. Well visited for a couple of minutes but everyone was exhausted and they went home. I was exhausted and fell asleep right away and I didn't even wake up until 4:00 AM. Happy Birthday, mom!!





















Tuesday was an okay day. Cindy came in and fed the hungry crew and then fed me, I thought about it for a long time but I just decided to stay in bed, plus I was just exhausted from yesterday. We straightened up my room a little bit and did a couple of other uncluttering areas, I can't believe I'm almost done with my room.  I have a bunch of masks so I thought we might as well try to use some, we tried that under my one, the one for your lips and there was one for my face. I pretty much just watch TV all day and edited/organized my photos, it seems like a never-ending job but I guess but I haven't used my Google Glass or might go Pro camera since about March so that you give me a little bit of time to catch up. Rosa came in and fed the boys and then fed me, I couldn't keep my eyes open so she left right after she fed me. Of course, after she left I woke right up and started watching my TiVoed collection of Dr. Phil. I listen to music for a while editing more pictures, absent played some games.








Wednesday was another long uncomfortable day. Karen came in and fed the hungry harry bunch and then started to me up in my chair so I can ride my exercise cycle and have breakfast outside, I really love doing this and my mood is much better. She put me back to bad and then into the commode chair to do some personal care, I've been trying to drink a lot of water and take less medication so it can go faster and smoothly but so far that hasn't happened. It's like my body is detoxing from something because it's just not getting easier and it should be. I took a nice long hot bath and she put me back to bed but it started again, sometimes I think the warm water makes everything softer and then we have to start all over again.  while I was taking a bath Karen's husband texted her and said some guy was cruising up and down the street on his skateboard and then he was stealing mail out of the mailboxes. She showed me the picture and I said "I know that guy, his name is Mark Beckner and he used to live in the apartments behind me and I see him cruising all around Santa Cruz. After I got back to bed I texted Trish and she said she was at school and I should call the police, all the checks are coming out now and I'm sure he was looking for that. I called the number and talk to a police officer and she said somebody will get back to me, a little while later another police officer called me and told me that she was very familiar with Mark Beckner.  I sent her the picture, he had some mail underneath his arm and he was opening up a letter. I also texted my aunt but they were over the hill and couldn't do anything until they got back. I think it was just about 3 PM when she gave me another bath and put me back to bed. Rosa came in I fed the boys and then fed me, sanitize everything and vacuumed, and then went home. My body was just exhausted but I couldn't go to sleep so I watched TV, played some games on the computer, listen to music and edited some more of my pictures. I pretty much gave up on my webpage right now because I think I need to get my photos in some kind of order before I finish my webpage… I think it will go a lot smoother. I tried using my CPAP machine, it's been a while and I know I should be using it.









Thursday was a pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the pups and then fed me, got me dressed and up in my chair. She set up the agility course in the driveway for the boys and we just hung out until it got too hot. We came back inside, except Robby wanted to hang out in the driveway. I watched TV for a while until Rosa came in, she fed the hungry fur babies and then put me to bed and fed me. She washed down my commode chair in the tub with soap and hot water, everything is sure getting a lot cleaner around here and I love it. For some reason, I just couldn't keep my eyes open and I fell asleep before she left, I woke up a couple hours later and realized that I had missed a text from Trish… We were going to watch a show from the DNA comedy lab, I bought the tickets a couple of nights ago and were going to watch it online. I did feel really good taking a little nap so for the rest of the evening I just watched TV and organized some more of my photos, I think I have over 12,000 photos and there in three or four different places so sometimes I get really confused because I'm so dyslexic and then I have to give up for a while or I'll get really frustrated.












Friday was a pretty good day. Karen came in and fed the boys and then got me up in my chair to ride the exercise cycle, have breakfast outside before we started the rest of the day a couple of years ago a friend that I met from Los Gatos gave me one of those muse machines… They look a little bit like headphones, it's supposed to help you meditate and it seems to work really well. I started wearing it after I eat breakfast, it's really nice to have it on and just stay quiet while the sun is shining on my body. We did some personal care but didn't get much so I took a nice long hot bath and went back to bed.  Joy came in and took Dude for a little cruise and let him put his toes in the sand, This is the last day that they're going to let people on the beach for a while. Everybody keeps coming over the hill and nobody is keeping their distance from each other or wearing masks or gloves, I don't know what is wrong with everybody but they all act like they're above the law and are not going to get sick. Adriana came in and ran some errands for my mom and me. She fed the boys and then fed me and I just watch TV and worked on organizing my photos for the rest of the evening.









Saturday was another relaxing day in bed. Cindy came in and fed the boys and then fed me, it looks really cold outside so I decided to stay in bed and work on my photos some more.  The Woofpack came to get the boys for their puppy play date. I was going to get up because my new mattress is going to be delivered today but I changed my mind. Omar came in and he and Cindy set it up in my bedroom to make sure everything was working and all of the parts were there, we decided to just put me in my chair long enough for them to put the mattress on my bed so I can try it out tonight. It was a lot taller than my other mattress, I don't know if it's because my other one was so old but this is going to take some getting used to. Adriana came in and she and Omar cleaned up and rearranged some stuff in the garage. Adriana fed the boys when they got back and got me something to eat before she went home for the day. The rest of the evening I just listen to music and organize some more of my photos. I eventually fell asleep but then I woke up to get a drink of water and I didn't help my hydration hose on me so I texted my mom to see if she was still awake, by this time I had a headache and an anxiety attack, she came down and got me a couple of PMs and handed me back my water. It took me a while but I eventually fell back to sleep but only got to sleep for a couple of hours until Cindy came in.

Sunday was another long boring day. Cindy came in and fed the boys and then fed me, I found some Keto low-carb pancake mix so she made me pancakes, bacon, and fruit for breakfast. She cleaned up a little bit, disinfecting everything and vacuuming the floor, and then she filled up the dog's food and went home for the day. I texted Karen to see if she wanted to come in tonight to do the personal-care and the bath so it will take all day tomorrow, she said she's not doing anything so she might as well come in. That way I can get up tomorrow and hang out in the yard with the boys. I told Adriana she didn't need to come in and I listen to music and tried organizing my pictures for most of the day until I got frustrated and my mind wasn't thinking anymore. Karen came in and fed the boys and then fed me. We do some personal care and a nice long hot bath, to put me back to bed and I fell asleep almost immediately.
