Hi De.
You obviously have some adjusting to do with your inner cycle. It is still on the same time it was when you were working.
My inner clock is still pretty much the same. Also, my body only needs 7 hours of sleep, and yet, I find it very difficult to stay up later than 10:00 a.m. So Miz micro and I are up around 5:00 - 5:30 a.m. every day..
No alarms needed. Funny how that internal bio-rythm works. Eventually you likely will liken re-set your internal clock but it will be gradual.. Hang in there.
IF you don;t like attracting BUGS in yer bedroom, git you something else in the house that will attract them like a bug zapper or something that emits light , maybe a blue or purple glow.. Different room so you can't see it.
You have window A/C units? Hmmmm. Not only can yer little friends come around openings around sides but many time directly thru the unit itself.
DUCT TAPE will take care of the side openings or you could stuff them with some sponge like foam so you can remove it later when ya takes them out.
Losing your parent is hard but should always be expected. It hurts. But it is God's plan for graduating from this world into a far better one.
I still have to take care of my father. He is in a home around the block from my house. I am leaving in a couple minutes to go take him a coffee as he will not walk up the hallway to the dining hall to get it himself.
He could. He just won't. Memory issue.
Just like daily I have to take him lunch to eat and at 5:00 is go over and walk him to the dining room where the meals are brought to the residents.. This is Independent living area.
Sometime in the very near future this will have to change to ASSISTED living. I cannot keep this up every day...
Until then, I want him to be happy (as can be at 90) and he has the GRUMPY kind of dementia. Did I mention that I am the child that he always has disliked.... Funny how things in the end often turn out..
I would see about attracting skeeters to another light away from the bedroom. If that happens to kill them even better. Meanwhile you have some GAP filling to do....
I hear ya.. THIS will get better but it will take time. Yer spouse is adjusting more quickly than you....
Best of luck with your new home and wonderful setting there in NH. Beautiful.
