Jim’s Adventures 5/13

Today I had to wake up early so I could take my mom to work and drop off my nephew at his babysitter’s house. During this entire quarantine, I have been literally sleeping in until about 10-11 in the morning every day. With that being said, I absolutely despise waking up early. I had to have my mom at work by 8 A.M. and then take my Uncle Mike to his doctors’ appointment at 9:30. After I dropped my mom off, I started to head home, with my much-needed stop at Tim Horton’s of course. Once I got home, I took a quick shower and made sure my Uncle Mike got his meds. Uncle Mike is not actually my Uncle and is actually a long-time friend that took us in when my family was poor back in the day. He now lives with us and we take care of him. He is 74 years old and has dementia, so he cannot really do things on his own. I made sure he took his med and got something to eat and we headed of to Titusville for his appointment. When we got there, we were given masks and watching Uncle Mike put his on gave me a good laugh considering half of it was off his face. He complained about the mask the entire time and honestly, I cannot blame him for it. We finally got seated into a room and had to wait a few minutes for the doctor to finally come in. While we were waiting, Uncle Mike fell asleep and I had to wake him up. Then the doctor finally showed up and started asking him questions about how he was feeling. Uncle Mike does not have the best hearing so the entire time I feel like a translator, except I am just saying the exact same words the doctor says, just louder. We finally left the doctor’s office and went to McDonald’s for breakfast, then went home. I ended up falling back asleep until 3:30 and then did nothing but play video games for the rest of the night.
