0518 and I'm up and wide-awake. Can't sleep because hubby keeps jerking in his sleep. I'm supposed to get up an hour from now, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to stay awake and drive home ok. I think I will. I'll have my coffee and be fine.

I worry because I've not been getting up this early in a long time. I've obviously been enjoying my summer break too, which, in all honesty will never really end, as long as we can manage to stay afloat monetarily, that is.

Now I'm just waiting on the medical interview portion for my father, which is scheduled for 0800 on the 13th of July. We had the financial interview a couple of weeks ago and it went well. Harry is financially qualified for me to be his caregiver. I pray he will be medically too, at least part-time.

I am the logical person to be his caregiver, because I'm his only child. And, it will cost the state a lot less to pay me than to have him in some assisted living facility or in a nursing home - God forbid, he doesn't need to be in either one of those places! I can take care of him just fine. He's not that bad off and God willing, won't be for a long time to come, either.

So, here I sit, blogging...It's supposed to be 111 today. Sweltering, but rain is in the forecast. I just looked at what the temperature is outside right now at 0525 - 92 degrees already! Sheesh! I suppose I could conceivably go back to bed and try to go back to sleep, but nah, I think I'll go lie down on the couch. At least there I know I won't be jerked awake!
