Eff today. 

Eff the caregiver for my neighbor - she's going to be in a world of hurt by the time I'm done.

Hope she can get a good lawyer through legal aid! ;-) 

Oh no Deb! Is your neighbor okay? 

You feeling better Jacky?

Get her deb!
Has she done anything new? 

Nah Boom. I almost walked out today. First of all, I was OFF yesterday and spent 3 freaking hours on the phone helping those bastards fix their problems, only to have to drive the eff up there with a child who has strep to fix it myself. Then, I get there this morning, and these stupid arse mofo's have charged the wrong peoples credit cards for the wrong rooms, they put 2 different people in 2 rooms and NEVER CHARGED THEM OR EVEN GOT THEIR FREAKING NAMES! Which by the way, overbooked us by two rooms so we have to walk 2 customers. And in case you're wondering, that means we have to pay for their hotel rooms at another hotel (much more expensive than ours).

And did I mention I was so sick last weekend that I called in for the first time in 3 years, last Saturday, only to get called into work at 10am anyway because god forbid anyone up there know how to do anything themselves. 

Neighbor is fine physically. Should be out of nursing home rehab by end of next week.

Caregiver is in the hole to neighbor in excess of $2k - so far - haven't seen the latest bank statement yet. That should come in on Monday or Tuesday. 

Would be funny if she goes to jail for it. Get bailed out on a $2k bond. That would be a slap in the face. 

I know the feeling Jacky. Just two of my jobs were like that. But, it's like that every day for my family. Sometimes I wonder what on earth they would do without me. Chit bricks for a few months I'm sure. 

Come Monday morning, she'll be unemployed...

Her employer received a copy of a cancelled check, payable & endorsed by her, along with a cashier's check made out to her apartment's management company with her name as the remitter in the memo area, done on the same day, at the same bank branch.

She's been blowing me off for two days. She doesn't know I've dug up the bodies and contacted her employer. I contacted her to make arrangements for her to pick up her mail. Instead of calling/texting me, she contacted a mutual acquaintance to get her mail from me. 

Wait, how can you get her mail? Or am I reading that wrong? 

She has started putting down neighbor's address for her address.

So, while I'm taking care of neighbor's house and collecting mail/newspapers, her mail is in the mix.

If she doesn't call me to make arrangements, I'm going to write return to sender on the envelopes.

I tried calling her from youngest's phone earlier today and she didn't pick up. I know the phone is on because it's not going directly to voice mail.

Figured if I called from a different number she might pick up. 

My Grandma is back in the hospital again and if anyone breaks (signs) her out (she hates being in the hospital) before the doctor's give her the ok then I am going to kick teeth in!

I was over there yesterday with the kids and my Grandma was not doing well.. She was crying a lot (my Grandpa that passed away was her husband of 66 years) and could barely breathe. She is in congestive heart failure and the doctors have advised her time and time again to go into rehab but she refuses each time and my Aunt (her proxy) brings her home.. My Aunt however cannot take care of her. She will not eat or take her medications for my Aunt and she always caves and isn't very pushy with her. My mom told her today that she can't keep putting her daughter through these emotional ups and downs and if she wants to live then she needs to let the doctors do their jobs. So she agreed to go back. Hopefully she stays in. 

Maybe it's time for her to go too? Don't know all the problems she has. Studies show mates that have been together for 30+ years and one half passes away the other usually is only 3 years behind. This is for the elderly. Not sure what age range. 

Sorry to hear that. 

She told my cousin today that she was just ready to die and wanted it to be today. :-/

I am very torn.. The rest of my family are praying for her to stay alive and I am praying for her to find peace, whether that is in this life and she stays alive or she gets to let go and find peace that way.

She is 83.. her husband was 86. 

Yea I don't know if I would want to live if I were married that long and lost my best friend. Sorry 

I don't blame her for feeling the way she does either.. I can't even imagine how she feels. 

I'm with boom.

My paternal grandparents were this way. She died of a brain tumor in her late 50s.... He lasted 6 months. Just gave up. life was pointless without her 

My Grandma was doing really good this morning at about 11am and was alert and smiling and eating finally. About 10 minutes ago I get a message from my mom saying that my Grandma has taken a turn for the worst and they are taking her off of the bipap machine and discussing hospice. I am torn about going up there with the kids or not. I had the kids up there with my Grandpa but it's so close to losing him that I am afraid taking them up there again might be way too much for my 4 year old. I don't want her to think everyone that goes into the hospital doesn't come out. I can't (ie: refuse) to leave my kids with a sitter because we are expecting severe storms (and well, you all know how I feel about those) and I can't stand the idea of being separated from them so I don't get to go say goodbye to her and am very thankful that I got to spend time with her on Saturday and last week got to see her playing catch with my daughter and smiling and laughing with my kids. That is what I will hold onto.

My Aunts, Uncles and my Dad I feel so bad for.. To lose both parents so close together. My Grandma (my mom's mom) says that my Dad isn't doing well and that he is just doing a good job at hiding it from me and the kids but she sees him very emotionally exhausted.

If you pray.. please pray for my Dad because he himself has a heart condition and has canceled 2 doctors appointments since his father has passed away so I worry that he isn't taking care of himself now and him losing his mother (who he was always closest to) might be too much for him.
