Hello again
So today I had to wear jeans. It was cold out this morning and the rain was just coming down. As they say, cats and dogs. I really wonder where that saying came from. I will have to look it up. Then I will let y'all know.
Even though I needed to where jeans I was very hot. Not use to wearing pants yet. We had a very good run of beautiful weather.
I didn't make mom dinner today. Nothing at home to cook with. Fixed that. So it was a seafood salad and a nice beef pot pie. They make them fresh at this store by mom's.
I again found a bed pillow under mom's legs. Even though there are the proper pillows, that mom does not use under her head, right there, sitting on the chair. I did bring mom to the manager and said there you go. Daily something is wrong.
Yes I have OCD when it comes to the closet. Order! and I explained to the manager that I have this and it bothers me the staff just shove the cloths anywhere. Yet I can't expect any one else to live up to my OCD when it comes to mom's closet. I said it bothers me, but I let it go for the reason I just wrote.
But to have mom's pillows that she uses to sleep on, under her feet. To much. Then there is them constantly putting the sheet on backwards.
I am picky about this., as I put lotion on mom's lower legs and feet. Which means that the lotion will get on the sheets. And if they are put on backwards, mom could get lotion in her eye's. And this could cause an infection.
Would one do this at home. Put the top sheet on upside down. I don't think so. You put it on the way it is suppose to go.
Anyways enough of my bitching.
Mom enjoyed her dinner and we got this done early so I could wash mom's hair. It was getting greasy. Since Monday was a holiday and she didn't get her hair done. And it also makes mom feel much better before she goes to bed.
After I got her changed as quick as I could, but being gentle. When mom is very tired, she doesn't want to be fused with to much and I need to be extra gentle with her. I want mom to be relaxed and enjoy her nightly ritual. Pleasant, comfortable, secure.
Mom wanted me to read to her. I said OK, but as soon as I get you covered with a blanket and get my glasses out and open the book, the care aid will come in. Sure enough. I just sat down and.....
Well, it was OK. Mom just wanted to be put in bed, have her spa treatment done and for me to hold her hand while she falls asleep.
Mom will not completely go to sleep without me first singing her our good night song. She waits for this and as soon as I sing it to her, she will close her eye's. Without fail.
Another reason I do what I do.
There is no words to describe what I feel taking care of mom. It is just beautiful It is a pleasure having this opportunity. I can't say it enough.
I am humble before GOD.
I may be nothing, I may having nothing. It seems to me I am stuck in Coquitlam, yet I am everything to mom and she is everything to me.
I love my mother and am just doing what is right before GOD. Even though I have a hard time believing. It seems nothing every happens.
I just pray that GOD helps me find a place I can afford or points me in the right direction or puts someone in front of me.
I pray for nothing else for myself. I only pray that GOD keeps mom safe and healthy. I do pray that HE heals her.
GOD bless and good night
