Hello again
Here on the wet coast, we had and have a winter storm warning. We were to get up to 20 cm of snow. Instead I woke up this morning to pouring, freezing rain. And it has not let up all day long. Just pouring. And there is a wind on top of this. I have been freezing cold all day long. I have a water proof jacket, but where does the water go. It runs down the jacket and onto my pants. So the front of my legs have been wet all day. I am outside allot. I travel many klms per day and I am waiting for buses.
Now I have been having to go into the laundry all weekend long to dig mom's clothing out. They are at it again. There are signs up all over the room. And the roommate's husband does her laundry. So no laundry from that room, at all, should be going into the laundry.
On top of this, they are back at removing the undershirts from mom's drawer and putting them out of the way so I won't find them.
They are going to be given a choice. Either use the undershirts or I will be purchasing bras's for mom again. One or the other. No other choice, will they have.
And it is coming up to that time of the year again, where my mother's daughter's will be coming to visit and do some shopping.
I will be putting up more signs that state they are not to be given any of mom's clothing. They don't buy it, I do and I am not dressing them or their children. Nor is my mother. Period.
And if they do give them or tell them to take some of them, they are going to be held responsible for replacing them or getting them back. I already have a police file and I will have anyone who does not follow what I state will be charged.
It is I who make the decisions for mom. I say how I want her to be dressed and undressed. If they follow the directive on how I want mom to be dressed and undressed there would not be a problem with the undershirts. As I have no problem putting them on her or taking them off of mom.
These are just individuals who took an 8 month course to become a care aid. They no nothing about anything. I can do there job easily. After all I have been doing it for a decade now.
And since they are not following my directive on how I want mom dressed and undressed simply mean each and every time they do this they are abusing my mother,. As soon as they lift mom's left arm up over her head, that is abuse. It hurts her.
Okay, mom has been doing well these last several days. Eating everything I make her. And enjoying it. I have been getting her into bed. Not going to wait for these care aids to come and put mom into bed. Mom is tired after dinner and just doesn't want to sit in her chair any longer.
I am getting their earlier and staying a little later.
Again. just holding her hand and seeing the huge smile on her face, as she falls asleep, is worth being soaked today and everyday. Just love it.
I just wish I could be living out their.
My biggest problem is carrying everything. Especially the duffel bag which rubs on my pant leg and wears holes in them. I have had to throw out many pair of jeans because they are worn out in the one spot where the bag rubs. Living closer, I would not have to carry everything such distances. And it wouldn't ruin my jeans. That GOD I can only afford to buy them at thrift stores.
My tooth is better. But still can't eat allot.
Please pray for my moving.
GOD bless and good night
