My caregiver's rant for the day: I have had a bronchitis cough since the middle of November, and I can't seem to get rid of it. So all I wanted to do today was take a little nap after lunch. I told Adrian I was going in to take a nap after I put the laundry away. I invited him to come with me and put his laundry away, too.
Well, he fiddled with his back-pack first, emptying it on the bed and going through everything in it. Then, when I was ready to go to sleep, he started to put his clothes away. I asked him nicely to leave them and do it later so I could sleep.
"Why?" he said.
"Because I can't sleep while you're doing it."
"It will only take a few minutes," he insisted.
"Fuck," I said and walked out of the room. I came into my studio and locked the door behind me. I just wanted to cry. No matter how much I do for him, he can't seem to change his schedule one iota for me.
He is probably already sorry and wanting my forgiveness, but I don't care. I don't feel well.
Later . . .
So I was petty, impatient and bitchy. I'm bipolar, give me a break. Adrian hates it when I'm mad at him, and so do I. We made up after I finally took my nap.
