Hello again
The problem with starting to wear shorts is, they are all packed up. And I have no idea what box they are in. I packed everything up months ago. Thinking I would be living in White Rock by now. I am not going through every box.
Hope to be living there soon. Before summer anyways.
Maybe. Only GOD knows. I have only asked HIM many times for help. And still nothing. I am a patient person, But come on now. Nothing is happening. I am trying everyday.
So I am on my third day of the smartphone fast. I only use it as a phone. And I am not using any other features of the phone. I am finding it very difficult. Especially on the bus ride home. Nothing is happening, it is quiet, no one is talking. Tonight it was a difficult ride home. Again I am only using it as a phone. And to check the time. That is it. When I got home I checked the emails, cleared them and tomorrow morning I will answer what is needed. Yes it is only once I leave this place the fast begins.
Now onto the more important things in this world. My mother. And taking care of her.
I have been bringing her this lovely salad she likes. Second day now and mom is just eating it up. Clearing the plate. And tomorrow she wants more. But only a little bit. I have something else for her. This salad is never wasted, nothing to through out. When it gets a few days on. It is time to use it for a stir fry. As everything in it can go into a stir fry. Nothing wasted.
So mom ate well again tonight. It is surprising how much mom will eat when she likes what is served to her. Though she did eat the meat portion of the served meal tonight. The wings were not thawed out yet.
Afterwards, being Wednesday, I took her to the tub room and washed and styled her hair. She is completely relaxed after this. I sing to her while washing and drying her hair. Nice sound in the tub room.
And back to her room to get her ready for bed. Since I had to bring home many items last night, to wash. Because of the dirty diaper being put on the chair. This was the first thing I did after getting her ready for bed. Put the clean sheet and pillow cases back on her bed.
The care aid came in and we got her into bed and she changed mom. Now this is the time I usually go and wash the dishes. But with this care aid I stay and help. So right afterwards I needed to go and do the dishes. I did feel guilty. Because this is the time for her spa treatment. I will have figure something else out for tomorrow. Do the dishes in the room and then after her spa treatment make my tea or make it before I leave. Something.
Well the spa treatment was great for mom. Her left hand is opening more and more now. I am rubbing the inside of her hand each night, with lotion. This is helping greatly.
We were done and the only thing left was to give mom something more to drink before I leave and hold her hand. I will be able to stay with her longer tomorrow night.
I sang to her and kissed her goodnight.
And by the way, the roommate is now watching TV at 11:30 at night and longer. Time for her to be moved. This will cause mom problems. Mom is trying to sleep at this time. It has been three weeks and the manager has done nothing about the roommate and the TV. Now it is getting worse. Time for an ultimatum,I will be giving the manger one week to move this women out of the room. Then I will be taking matters into my own hands.
There are people in there who like to watch TV all night long. This is where she belongs, with a similar type of person. Not someone who goes to sleep at a certain time.
I don't need mom getting sick because she isn't getting enough sleep or her sleep is being disturbed.
GOD bless and good night.
