So, this Morning, I had to take My Husband to Dialysis at Six A.M. as He was not feeling well enough to take Himself, not a Problem, except, there is no Six A.M. on My Internal Clock. I Stumbled out of Bed, with Ten Minutes, to spare, threw on a Pair of Shorts and went to the Closet, for His Portable Oxygen Cart. I reached in, grabbed a Handle and Wheeled it in front of Him and took off to the Bathroom. Halfway, down the Hall, He said, " Hey, Hey " I turned around and looked. I had grabbed the Upright Vacuum Cleaner and put it in front of Him.

I don't think, I'm cut out, for this Caregiver Role. :urcrazy;

I shouldn't laugh - I left the house in fuzzy slippers at the crack of dawn once.  Thankfully, I didn't get off the porch before I noticed!
