Oh, man, this is killing me. The woman who was supposed to be cooking for my parents hasn't shown up since Monday, and hasn't call the agency, and since my parents didn't call me, I didn't know either. ARGH.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus christ, Dana. Good luck!
Also jesus christ, Consuela.
Juliebird, I'm not 100% sure about volleyball, but the others yeah. That's the actual season for playing basketball games, as far as I know.
I am feeling super fucking healthy. Went for a nice walk after work, am now having stupid salad for dinner.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, Suela. I guess you call the agency and cross your fingers with cook/companion #2?

I assume so--Dad can boil pasta and so forth. He's been cooking for them for the last couple of years. I'm just astonished that they didn't even call me, since last week they called me as soon as they realized she wasn't going to show up.
I got him on his cell phone and he's at the dentist, so I'll check back with them later.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I just won a political Facebook argument. He said I sounded like an MSNBC host and didn't address a single charge I made about the republican party's official platform.
I'm calling it a win, anyway.

God, Consuela. I don't understand the home aids. My grams got two of them, one for overnight. They were supposed to feed her and clean. When my parents got there, all the food had been tv dinners, and the one supposed to clean was too afraid to do so, in case she got yelled at for throwing out the empty used dirty tv dinner trash. I think at some point you have to tell the crazy old lady No. No, she's not going to make a craft out of that.
Yes, when my grams was sane, she made a beer can wreath. And beer can angels.

That's it. He called Obama a communist and said Sharia law was going to be installed in America. I win! I WIN!
*sigh* Hallow victory.

One of the issues with Home Healthcare Aids is that it is extremely low pay, and not much training. So while there are really good ones (my aunt does it for some extra cash after retirement, but she was a teacher), the other ones need much more training and screening
My crazy theatre director has reached new levels of insanity. We are doing a play with a storyline about pedophilia and he has decided he wants to bring in a pedophile to talk to the students!!!

OMG.
This is why I hire the people, so my mother can't really give them direction. Of course, she has threatened to bar the door to them, or even call the police, but she's never actually done it.
I still end up sneaking big bags of paperback books out of the house once a month, because she keeps buying them even though she can't follow a narrative longer than a couple hundred words.
