Hello again
So mom was in a good mood today.
The care aid who includes mom in the ladies conversations is no longer going to be their. She was just filling in for someone. To bad.
It is Friday and fish for mom, plus the leftover salad from yesterday.
Mom loves red papaya and I had a problem with the store selling yellow papaya as red. I complained and they apologized to me, gave me a fruit basket and told me that they would make sure this doesn't happen again. They would speak with their suppliers. Well it happened again. I bought two RED papaya's ( thinking they were) and they were yellow. Mom doesn't like them and won't eat them. They are not cheap.
I feel used and I feel all they did was give me lip service. Telling me they would do something about it and then.... It was less than a month ago. Red papaya is a premium product and I am being given a inferior products at the premium price.
I will be bringing back the one I saved from tonight and then I will write on their Facebook page and write the head office of the corporation that owns this chain. Loblaws, out of Ontario.
Mom at everything, and off to bed she went. The usual spa treatment. This is when mom just wants to hold my hand while she falls asleep. When she gets really tired, this is all she wants and reaches for my hand. She gets impatient if I am to slow.
She seems very happy. And is healthy. Better blood pressure than I have. And mine is very good. For someone who is stressed out as I am.
Like I wrote it is almost Christmas day and I have nothing for mom. I can't even afford a f.....ing card. I am pissed off at Shopper Drug Mart Sales rep, telling me I will be getting points, for the leg rests, which again worth over $100.00 and then telling me I won't be getting them. And the rep telling me again that I would.
They should of been applied to my account already. I could use the points to get mom presents. 10 - 15 days after they were installed. And it is past this now.
Well I will try to do what I can. I guess as long as I am there for her and with her Christmas day is all that matters.
I enjoy every moment I spend with mom. Mom is what keeps me going each and everyday. Looking after her is the best thing I have every done. OK looking after day was great as well. If it were not for mom, who knows what I would be or not.
I met someone I know today and we spoke. Well he is more cynical than I am. My doctor tells me the other day. just think there is someone worse off than you are. And he is. Look, he does the same thing as I do. Look after his mother everyday. His mother is worse condition than mom. But he is their everyday as well And he has sisters that are the same as mine. Greedy and don't visit much at all.
I was listening to myself, while speaking with him today. But I have more to live for, it seems. He is more depressed than I am. I do have conversations with people when I can. I do put on a smile, when I visit with mom. I do not show that I am depressed to mom. She has enough problems to deal with. I am humble and helpful as much as I can.
Mom may have an idea of what is going on with me, but I make sure I always put a smile on my face when I walk in that door and is always on my face. This also helps me out too. I get to forget about my problems for 4 hours each day. And I thank mom for this. She makes my days better.
I have to get my flu shot tomorrow. It is needed, as I am around Seniors all the time and I don't want to get them sick. Even though, I don't get sick, I am still a carrier. So it is needed, even though I don't like to get them. Nothing to do with needles. I have had so many needles through out my life it is not funny. It is I don't like to have bacteria/a virus, injected into my body. But it needs to be done.
I have to go now. It is late again.
GOD bless and good night
Pleas pray that I will be able to get mom something for under her tree.
