I am really in need of............... anything

Hello again

It has been a few day since my last post. I have had to deal with the person living upstairs. She has been arrested 4 times in the last week, but we can't get rid of her. All the police can do is keep arresting her. That is it. Great isn't it.

So I spend 3 hours traveling home. And when I get here, I have things to do for mom, write, and just try to relax. I have not been able to get anything done in the last week.  Well only a few things each night. As the landlord is over, the police come and all are speaking with me.

This is hell. My roommate is moving at the end of this month. I have not been able to find a place in which I can afford. And I have to deal with this shit each and every night. But not tonight so far. Cross your fingers. pray to GOD.

Well the complaint office has only been able to receive one of the letters I sent to her. I use Open Office and they use word. I even changed the extension on it, and still nothing. So when I finish with this I am just going to copy and paste it in an email to her. I have been waiting until this office receives the letters before I give it to the manager. It has CC complaint office at the bottom of the letter. This way on Monday, I will be able to bring it with me and present it to the manager. Have a serious chat with her.

I am dealing with allot right now. This and trying to find a place and move. WoW!

Mom is becoming more and more agitated as a result of the roommate issue. Not wanting to be there anymore..

What I really need to do, is to start to look for a place so mom can have her own room. Since I am such a looser, that I can't afford to take care of her myself.

Besides being agitated, mom is in a good mood.

Excited to see me, and I her. Eating very well. Great appetite. Tonight she was served fish and chips. A special occasion. She ate two pieces of fish, chips. 7 layer dip and Crackers, an avocado, papaya, mango and her chocolate.  This was today.  I am so glad she eats so well.

And being Friday, I washed her hair and styled it. OK, you probable say so what. Well it is not as easy as just washing her hair, brushing her teeth. There is a process and a way that it needs to be done, to not get mom upset, or hurt her. When mom is impatient, she uses her good hand and fights. I need to wash her hair a certain way, to not get her all wet. Or to brush her teeth. I have to hold her right hand while I do this or I might end up with a black eye. And I need to be in the room when she is being changed so she doesn't fight with the staff. It also keeps her calm.

The staff have been coming in early to get mom into bed, so I haven't been reading to her. But tonight, while holding her hand, when she was falling asleep, I stood there and read to her. This I will continue to do for her.

I stayed really late tonight, just wanted to. Mom was completely asleep when I left.

It is suppose to be a nice day tomorrow. I am going to get their early and take mom out for a walk. It is about time I do this for her.

I am done. Very tired.

GOD bless and good night
