Christmas Countdown - 2017

She fell in the bathroom. She hit her button when she felt sick & nobody came & nobody came...so she went herself without her walker!! She was weak from having the flu. She hit her head, by her ear, on the edge of the door.
I sure hope this doesn't delay her coming home next week. We really need to get her out of there! We found out yesterday she has only had ONE shower since she went in there Dec. 27th!!!!! How does THAT happen??? So gross!!! She was supposed to be on a schedule for a shower every Mon, Wed, & Friday. Wouldn't that just be part of her occupational therapy??? (I would sure think so!) Anyway - I guess we never asked, just assumed she was getting showers. NOPE! She's had sponge baths, but REALLY? That makes me so mad! Poor Mom! Time to come home! Emma will take MUCH better care of her than that!!!
Sorry, you didn't ask for all that!! I guess I'm on a roll this morning!

Hugs back to you & sweet Loki!!!

Rant all you want, you are right to be angry. I will never understand how people who are in the business of taking care of people don't do what they're supposed to do. It's a good thing she has you and your family looking out for her. I hope she will get to go home next week, there's nothing better for the morale to be in your own home.

Trivia about that movie: When they show the November calendar, do you know why the turkey runs back and forth between two Thursdays, looking for Thanksgiving, and then gives up in perplexity? It was a political thing during the FDR administration---Google "Franksgiving"! It's interesting!

That is very interesting!! My friend & I talked about the reason for the cute little turkey. I did not know! I will have to share the story of Franksgiving with her!! Thanks!

Happy Friday, everyone! Extra-happy for anyone who has Monday off as a holiday.

Hoping I'll be released from the office a little early today ... we're supposed to close at 3 p.m., but the department I'm in is usually the last to go, so "early" sometimes comes down to "15 minutes." Monday the office is closed, and I hope they won't need me that day!

Things are a bit crazy here. A co-worker in my department has given notice, the temp who is covering for her was called away because of a sudden death in his family, and our supervisor is out of the office for a couple days. Hoping the workflow doesn't kick up anything that's difficult to deal with until things get sorted out!

I hope today goes well for you & you can get out of there early AND have Monday off!!! xx A long weekend sounds wonderful!
Prayers for the temp who was called away for a sudden death!
Have a great day Merry!

You're justified in being angry! I hope you can get her out of there soon.

Thank you! It's frustrating! And to think nursing homes are much better today than they use to be! They are just so short staffed it seems! Hard to keep employees, doing that kind of work for minimal pay!
Mom says she is feeling much better today. She's eating some breakfast, but she is still confined to her room for today! DARNIT!

Good morning MMC!! Happy, Happy Friday!!! So looking forward to busting out of this work week this afternoon!!

We had such a fun time watching Holiday Inn last night. I almost forgot how great of a movie it is! I'm glad I was reminded! We almost didn't watch it b/c we were talking too much at the island in our kitchen...then we realized how late it was getting & decided to pop the movie in. Such a classic. Gracie was quite the host. Reminding my friend constantly how happy she was to have her over. LOL! T got lots of Gracie kisses! (whether she wanted them or not! ) Good thing she's a dog lover!

I didn't get an update on mom yet this am, but as of bed time last night she didn't have any flu issues since 4pm yesterday afternoon. Hopefully she had a good night & she's feeling great today!! xx I'm a little disappointed in the NH & their non-existence in cleaning the bathroom which she shares with the lady next door....who also had the flu on Wednesday. HMMMM! We still haven't seen anyone come in to clean their restroom - wonder how mom got the flu? (What a joke! GROSS!) And they wonder why the flu is running rampant through there??? Grrrrr!

Anyway, off my high horse! Everyone, have a wonderful FRIDAY!!!

TGIF, Christmas friends!

It feels like spring! It's supposed to be in the low to mid 70's for the next 10 days. Makes me feel like working on the pool and cutting the grass LOL!

Elizabeth has accidentally started a business baking caramel cakes for people in the county. I took her to deliver one last night. She's going to have to start charging more, though. She works for hours, baking the cake from scratch and making the icing from scratch, and she only charges $30! Of course, I'm the one buying the ingredients LOL.

Lunch with mom & Jim today. I hope y'all have a great day!

How awesome for Elizabeth!!

Wow....I am so angry for you!! There is no need for that. I hope she is able to come home soon!

Holiday- Praying you can get your mom out of there this week. It definitely sounds like she will be better off at home.

Good Friday morning! I have a day off but lots to do. We'll take down our Christmas decorations today, on top of running errands, laundry and the usual chores. I just realized that I haven't had two days off in a row since Christmas and it's tiring me out. Have to wait till January 20th for that. have a great day everyone!

I remember those days well. I went five years at autozone with Wednesday and Sunday as my days off. The only time I got two days off in a row is when I took my vacations.

You could never really relax because you had to get stuff done on the days off.

Happy Friday! Just my usual work for me today. My youngest daughter is going to a sleepover tonight and she has a basketball game tomorrow afternoon. We are going to a friend's house tomorrow night to watch the Patriots game. Otherwise it should be a quiet weekend. Have a great Friday and weekend!

 

[SnowflakeMom]

Morning! A few people took their lights down as I saw they weren't lit this morning. But there's still a bunch that have them on. TGIF by the way (how could I forget that). Friday the 13th today...hope everyone doesn't have any bad luck. Looks like our temperatures start out mild this morning and drop during the day. The weekend looks normal temps and we will be missing the snow/ice that much of the middle part of the country will get. Looking forward to this weekend for sure.
Have a good one!

Happy Friday Edge!! Hope you have a great weekend! I will take the normal temps as long as we do not have the snow..lol!

Wow....I am so angry for you!! There is no need for that. I hope she is able to come home soon!

Thanks, I hope so too. It is frustrating. Time to come home!
Hope you are having a good Friday SFM!!!

Yep. We are under a freezing rain advisory until 1pm on Sunday. So I'll just be hunkering down inside.

Good afternoon everyone .. Well Raven's seroma is now half the size it was when we took her to the vet however she is still mad that she can't chase Jasper (our cat)

Weather calling for snow showers and maybe one inch tomorrow. Sounds like perfect weather to bake and make soup

Have a great day

I don't know how you did it for five years, just three weeks in and I'm already complaining.
