Coming up a week at home and I could not be more exhausted. Daniel is living the life of leisure and I am methodically going through every inch of the house trying to clean and organize. The schedule is a little more than chaotic between medicine dispensing, cooking, laundry, cleaning and the many unforseens. Apparently, Daniel has forgotten how to wipe his own ass. No not really, but just about. Although I have had several offers for help I have had to decline on these. We are still essentially in isolation and will continue this way for the first 100 days. We don’t want to blow it at this point. Daniel is doing exceptionally well but still very new in the game and extremely vulnerable with a weak immune system so we do not want to take any chances. So alas, I continue to do it myself and wear myself down. I know, I know I need to pace myself, but I don’t think anyone is realizing I need to get all this done now because Daniel can’t have any of this in his environment. Out with the old and that is definetly what is happening. I am finally caught up on rewashing everything in the house including every closet, drawer and pantry. Every, drawer and shelf must be sanitized. And that is not done yet. I know it sound like overkill but Daniel is still very much at risk for viral, bacterial and fungal infections at a much higher rate than any of us. It must be done to MY SPECIFICATIONS and yes I know this is probably ridiculous to most but we need to treat our home as if it is a bubble right now. It is our safety zone right now and we ask that everyone respect that a little longer. We hope that as Daniel feels better and his system continues to strengthen that these restrictions will continue to peel off and lighten up slightly. I have been reminded repeatedly this is a marathon not a sprint so I am in it for the long haul.
Let me tell you the one thing that I am so done with, football. My G-d does why doesn’t it stop. Either it is on t.v. or on the computer, or the phone or typically all three at the same time. It is ALWAYS being debated in reality or in fantasy format with someone in the family or friends. I swear you would have thought I would have embraced it by now but NOPE. I admit it. I have not. I have not come around one bit. I have not learned anything about the game or learned to enjoy it at all. I do however love to watch Daniel do his football P[R]EVIEW show twice a week because Daniel is so naturally passionate about it and is so funny and spontaneous in his performance but that is just the mom in me. As far as the football part, nada. At least I know Daniel understands. He has given up on asking me to watch with him and knows that he gets his football time in peace so that I can have more time to clean.
