Hello again
So we got the first storm of the season out of the way. It just poured this past week, the wind was unreal. Lots of people were without power for a few days.
It is done and time to await the next one. But our storms are nowhere near what everyone else's storms, in a different location, are.
Just doing what I usually do, and loving every minute of it. Taking care of mom. I will repeat this. It is not the looking after mom or doing things for her. And even the traveling that bother's me. It is not finding a place I can afford.
Yea you say, there must be something. Well the something is living with ex, I mean a few years, drug addicts or people you don't want to live with. Or the room is so small I couldn't even put my dresser in. Let alone a bed.
Let me put this out there. I only have $500. that I can spend on rent. And that is pushing it. Which, by the way, Leaves me with, not much left over. Then I pay my phone bill and hardly anything. Sure there are lots of ROOMS for $600 or $700 a month. That is only a room in a shared accommodation. Come on now. That much for just a room.
That is nothing but nonsense. So can anyone even see where I am coming from. The most expensive city in Canada.
What really bugs me, is I don't even want to come back here at night. I hate living here.
Now, it is bath day for mom, After her bath they put her back into bed for the rest of the day. I have no idea why.
I had to take three of her nightgowns into get fixed, Thanks to the morning staff who must just rip them off of mom. Another $30. I had to spend which I can''t afford to spend. Cuts into my food budget. Big time. Needed to be done though.
Now the staff or the hospital is going to pay for this. And I want the nightgowns replaced. They are only a month or so old. I just don't care anymore.
It is time, once again to play hard ball.
Just like it is time to play hardball with the insurance agency. They are not returning my calls. They said they would pay for everything for physiotherapy. Then when I went to the office and had them call the insurance company. ICBC changed there mind. I have to pay the user fee. Something I don't have is money for this. So they are now denying me access to physiotherapy.
Back to mom.
Again today, mom was very hungry. Good appetite lately. My meal I made her plus most of the served meal. And the usual dessert
I have clean sheets for mom, every week. Yet they never put them on her bed. Then I have to do it myself. Which is hard to do one handed. But I make it work.
And it was the spa treatment. Full version and then mom was ready to sleep. It is that quick. I just held her hand, as usual. and watched some TV while she fell asleep.
It takes me a fare bit of time to pack. So I try to do this first before I sit with mom.
I am just pissed off at not being able to find a place.
I don't bring this attitude in,while visiting with mom. Not a chance. She doesn't need to see my Bullshit. I put on my happy face and leave my crap at the door. Knowing I can pick up when I leave.
Mom needs a positive experience, each and everyday, while I am their. Nothing less will do.
GOD bless and good night
