Caregiving

The Laundromat still doesn't have power and my clothes didn't get washed yet. I leave in 24 hours. I don't want to be packing tomorrow morning. I'm very frustrated and kinda panicking.

I don't have anything thawed out for dinner. I'm gonna ask my caregiver if we can get pizza for dinner tonight. I made a tuna sandwich for lunch. I want a stress free night. I don't want to fuck around the kitchen. I think she'll say yes.

My darling flutter is on her way to con now. I'm so excited to see her!

She's on her way home now. She asked me if dinner was possible. I really don't like eating after 8pm but I should eat some protein. So I put the salmon in the oven. She'll be home at 10. It's 954 now. Dinner will be ready a few minutes after she gets home. I should probably make broccoli but I just don't wanna. Salmon is enough. #Caregiving Picture of my meds and diabetes supplies box that is on my bed.

I need my meds. Usually I ask my caregiver for them. She's not home and I can't get ahold of her. I have over 150 bottles of pills in a few boxes but none of it makes sense. I thought my pain meds were in a bag but I can't find it. So ok, Norco isn't happening. But I need my 15 mg olanzapine and I have no idea where it is. I know I could tear apart the boxes looking for it but that would piss her off. And she won't be home until tomorrow morning. I tried calling her but it went straight to voicemail. Her phone probably died. She's been having trouble with her phone for years. She has a newer phone she can switch to but she keeps saying it's not a priority. And for all the hours she's been working, she's not billing her clients. She's a few years behind. I dunno. I just want my meds.

Now I remember why I stopped taking linzess.

Anywho. I'm sending out my laundry today. I'll finish packing tomorrow night. I gotta figure out what clothes I need. The laundry will be brought back tomorrow morning. And my caregiver needs to pack my meds. But she won't be home until tomorrow morning. I was gonna make salmon for dinner tonight. That's 2 nights in a row that I couldn't make dinner. I guess I can make the salmon and just eat the whole thing. She wouldn't care.

And the kitchen is a wreck. We ran out of paper plates a few days ago and all of the regular plates are dirty. Dishes are her chore. I can't handle how bad it is right now. I need her to wake up. I was gonna make GF blueberry pancake bars. But there are no clean casserole dishes. I'm close to having a panic attack. My head hurts.

I had just enough shredded cheese for one bowl of scrambled eggs. I made it with ranch dressing. It's delicious! I haven't gotten sick in about 13 hours give or take. I'm having my caregiver make my coffee cuz my hips hurt. It always makes me happy when she makes me coffee.

... for I have woken up again.

My caregiver got home and tried to help me figure out what to eat but all of her suggestions were really high in sugar. I settled on some whole grain fig bars. I'm gonna try to make some scrambled eggs for lunch today. Good source of protein. I haven't made coffee yet. Dinner tonight will be awesome. I'm actually very excited to make something different.
