Didn't get to bed last night until after midnight...last time I looked at the clock it was 1:31 am...a little after 2 am Paul came into the bedroom waking us to let us know that Marlee had an accident downstairs (on our NEW rug)...well, Charlie got up and cleaned it...I was up...after taking a short nap.....then at 5 am - Marlee got us up again...Charlie was/is the one to take her out as she has a tendency to roam and not come back for a while...again...not actually getting out of bed - but I was awake. 6:30 am...once more...so...waking up several times during the night was not a very enjoyable or relaxing sleep plus I thought I'd have to run to the bathroom.
When I did get up this morning I was a bit tired and my stomach bothered me...thinking this is the way I will feel for the next six months? ugh! I helped my Mom with her shower - after taking care of myself and I still didn't feel too good. Thank God I have her...if I didn't I think I would have just laid in bed. I had eaten my regular breakfast (3 minute egg, toast, and a grapefruit)....lunch time I ate a banana and some Ritz crackers with Jelly...my stomach still didn't feel right. Later on, about 3 pm I began to feel like myself. Still tired...but thinking it was from not sleeping. I had done laundry...lots of laundry. Charlie was cleaning the rugs - due to the 'mess' from Marlee and he even washed the kitchen floor! What a guy! I felt guilty so I even washed the dogs blankets (from the couch in the great room)...Charlie gave Marlee a soapless shampoo...boy did she ever need it!
I ate my dinner, prepared by Charlie - chicken with side of rice a roni and I'm feeling fine. Hopefully my bout of diarrhea is done and hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight without any interruptions....
