I didn't know what a toll caregiving for my husband was taking on me until we had a friend move in. The friend is keeping my husband company, fixing things, making some meals, and cleaning up after other meals.

Suddenly I am not trying to do it all alone. I'm not worried when I go to work. I'm not defeated before I even get out of bed. I actually enjoyed something today!

The friend's stay is supposed to be temporary. It is going to be hard to go back. But more thinking about that. I am going to see if might enjoy a second thing while I can.

That's all. I just had to tell someone who would understand. Alas, it's internet strangers, but it feels good to let it out anyway.
