@ktcosmos The list of things to do that never get accomplished is long. Mentally I think I will complete later in the day but then by "later in the day" I am exhausted and put it off to another day.

@ktcosmos Sometimes I feel my brain is starting to go “all octopus-like” after a day (and especially evening!) of caregiving. In fact, I didn’t even realize I AM caregiving, till my psychiatrist pointed it out. There are times everything is “normal” till it isn’t. Plus, all the new household things I’m having to learn…and finances…and the interruptions (that could wait, but seem urgent to him) while I’m trying to figure out something complicated. I know there will be a time when I’ll miss all this…so I’m working very hard at patience and tone of voice when I respond. Brain fog is real in caregivers.
