It is also D - Day. 70'th Annaversery. If Mom was alive she would have reminded me of course. I did my Lil Lady this a.m. I went grocry shopping for her by myself. It makes life alot easier on all of us. I only buy her good things and save her $ and she loves that part. Then went back at 3 to do the afternoon shift for her. She was just sitting there. I got her in the car and we drove around and I showed her where we lived. I took her to the marina so she could see that sail boats and listen to the landerds hit. We also heard an ospery. Drove down brick steets and down town and by the beach. We drove for an hour and all around. Showed her some pretty houses. Then headed home and I made her a good dinner. Salad with some fried chicken and fresh fruit. She ate good. Then I got her ready for bed. I changed her and got her in her nighty and put on a rob and put her in her chair. I asked her if her son came over to check on her...." No. Not usually" Ugh. I kissed her head told her I loved her and out the door I go. On to the next client. They gave me the wrong address. I showed up late but they weren't even mad. I was the one flusterated. But then I met the Mr. and he is wonderful. 88 years old, tall, lanky and I shook his hand and we got along just fine. The daughter in law just got him in the house about a few weeks ago from a situation that was ruff. And she fixed up a lil place for him and now he is doing wonderful. She warned me that showers weren't his favorite. Soon he was in the shower and I was scrubbing him like the side of a barn. He really enjoyed it. I washed his hair with prell and scrubbed him all over. Put lotion on him and when it was time to do his hair he had Brylcreme. My Dad used that stuff. When I told him the slogan he laughed so hard. " A Lil Dab Will do Ya"...Now it comes in a black tube. It use to come in red, white n blue tube. He also used Old Spice. My Dad used that too. I closed my eyes and inhaled that deeply too. I took really good care of this gentleman. He is vet. I called him "sir" - we hit it off just fine. He even asked me if I would come back and take care of him. What a nice compliment that is. His daughter in law asked me if I could and automatically I said yes. The girl they had before was mean to him in a way as far as words go. She called it "Chump Change" in front of him. Ugh. You don't do that. So all is good.
Tom. a.m. I am going to call the alf and tell them I have a family emergency and can't make it in. Sorry but instead of waiting till the 13'th it has ended. Thankyouverymuch. Bye - Bye now.
I finally feel like I found my niche. I am blessed. I am happy and I am taking care of my peeps like they should be taken care of. One at a time with love and compassion. That is all everyone wants. I need to find something to eat then head off to bed. Lil Lady in the a.m. then a hospital case in the afternoon from 3 -11. Easy peasy. Just sit and watch. Have a new book to read :) Peace In and Out and a good night.
