I took care of Hillary & Kemper and did chores until Dr. Vesper woke up at 11a. He had breakfast and took his morning meds.  I gave him a sponge bath and helped him get dressed. In the afternoon he had lunch, did exercise, watched TV and took a nap. After dinner, he watched TV until bedtime.  I gave him his p.m. meds and he got ready for bed.  I set the table with morning meds and breakfast for tomorrow.

NOTE:
It was extremely hot and humid today, the AC had a hard time keeping up.  I kept turning the thermostat down a little bit of a time until finally had it at 65° in order to get the actual temperature to 75°.  Kemper  only went outside when he had to, did his business and right back inside.
