( raw notes )

A difficult day. The high point, definitely, was Colleen taking a shower, standing up, getting in and out of the tub all by herself. (It's a walk-in tub, but it still means negotiating two steps and some difficult and potentially slippery footing.)

The low point was realizing just how much the combination of caregiving and what appears to be an increased need for sleep will take out of my day. I've been in denial over this for months, I think. But if I intend to keep my full-time job, continue taking care of Colleen, and get 7-8 hours' sleep, and have some time for myself for things like walking, music, and writing, something's going to have to give. Suggestions welcome, especially if they don't involve spending money that I don't have.
