I've posted before about the job of caregiver. I take my role very seriously but in the same breathe I must tell you it is the toughest job I have ever done. But here is a break in the story. A glimmer of hope and humor!
Jeff is still continuing to work more than he should - just as he's done his entire life. And amid all the work and stress and cancer he still has nights when he can't sleep. Insomnia has had a hold of him his entire life. Dirty rotten whore! And did I mention that I'm a big sleeper? Gotta have it! At least 8 hours. We've been mismatched from the beginning!
So Tuesday night I was asleep and Jeff was not. He usually just gets up and roams or watches TV. This particular night he decided to do some business and was busy at his desk. That was all normal and good untill....... he woke me up at 2 am to ask where our deposit book was. Repeat. HE TURNED ON THE LIGHT AND WOKE ME UP AND ASKED ME WHERE THE DEPOSIT BOOK WAS AT 2 AM!.
Luckily I was in a deep sleep and was unable to speak and was able to go right back to sleep. However, the next day we did discuss it. He had no idea that I would be upset or bothered by his act of selfishness. Lucky for him I explained it in a way he could TOTALLY understand.
