Did not want to get up this morning. If I hadn't needed to go so badly, I might have just drifted back to sleep. Now I'm grudgingly upright and wishing I could go back for an hour. Ah well, maybe a nap at lunch. Probably not, but I can dream.
Not surprising that I'm tired. I didn't sleep great-had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Add into that that I'm physically and emotionally stressed, and you get a tired kitty.
Dad is doing fine, but caretaking a senior who can't get out of bed is exhausting. Jess does most of it, but since I don't have to sit at the desk 100% of the time, I do take breaks to come help with diapering, repositioning etc. And when I get off work, I try to take over a bit to give them a break. So, this means heavy lifting about 3-4x per day as well as the bending and tugging that diapering involves, about 5x per day. It's just a lot. Last night we changed his sheets (an undertaking since he was currently on them, and that was a LOT of pulling, tugging, shoving sheets under him as he was on his side. My back is in a constant state of cranky these days.
I'm getting a little annoyed with my sister. I'm aware that she works outside of the house, and that she has a long commute. I'm even aware that by the end of the day, she's tired, as I am when I work as well. But I need her to do more than just help at bedtime. She's not spending any time with him at all. Even on the weekends, she doesn't go in and sit with him. Usually, bedtime is the only time of the day she sees him, and that's for a focused goal. After work, I at least try to sit in there for at least half an hour or so, or to eat dinner with him. Yes, normally. he ignores me while he watches TV or plays on his tablet, but still.
Aside from that, not much going on. Did the inbox yesterday. That was thrilling as usual. By the end of my shift, it was completely clear, so no one will have a reason to bitch today. Today I will have my markets and not a whole lot beyond, so I'll probably end up working the pending queue, whoohoo.
Friday, my sister has a graduation for the son of a friend of the family, so no game. This is sad. I want to play! Instead, I will wait til Saturday, when the lovely![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster is running a game. Next weekend, we will make a big splash back into DMing, with a four game weekend, three of which I'm DMing.
Okay, time for me to consider clothing and maybe waking up to do some work. Everyone have a terrific Tuesday!
