Saturday mornings . . .

. . . in our house usually go like this:

1. 6am or 6:30am, the kaaClunk of TWR in the bathroom (GpaK is UP for the DAY!) No sleeping in here, folks


2. 6:15 or 6:45, GpaK makes his way downstairs (in his Jammies - because it's SHOWER DAY!)


3. I follow, get the coffee ready, get GpaK's meds out, water, inhaler . . .


4. Check his blood sugar level - this helps decide what's on the menu for breakfast


5. Feed the dogs, take them outside, get GpaK's NEWSPAPER


6. Prepare breakfast


7. Clear dishes (it's now about 7:30)


8. Bill is up . . .


9. 7:45 SHOWER TIME! Woo Hoo! I help GpaK get undressed, get on the scale for his weekly weigh-in (we have a goal to keep it steady in the mid-180s), adjust he shower chair, help him into the shower, shampoo, scrub back, etc etc etc.


10. By 8:15 we're out of the shower, he's shaved and getting dressed


11. Clean up the bathroom and he's good to go. Eeeueeueeu (squeaky clean) He heads back downstairs


12. 8:45, it's time to fill the PILL BOXES! This takes about 20 minutes or so . . . IF you don't accidentally knock a partially filled box onto the floor.


13. Go online to order any necessary refills.


14. Saturday post-GpaK duty begins around 9:30 am.
