It wasn't splendid because of the weather... I went out by 5:25 and it was already hot!
It was splendid because after I got back, I went out on my scooter and got the errands done before I got Mom up!
I cut Mom's hair before she got her shower. She had oatmeal with raisins and brown sugar for breakfast!
I did a load and changed her sheet. Then I proceeded to clean out the back balcony and turned on the AC in the living room. This way, I can sit in the living room every so often to cool off!
Mom had a sandwich and chips for lunch and then fruit for her 3pm snack. The helper came! I instructed her on things and I went to get Mom's meds refilled! Well... my scooter's battery died. I had to push the scooter for about 1.5km in the heat!
Alan and Isaiah went and had a massage.
After that was done, and the guy couldn't use my MasterCard, so he took only 500NT$ and I'll go back on Monday to give him the other 500NT$. Nice guy! That's why I pushed it to this guy. He's my regular scooter check up guy!
I then went to Carrefour and got discounted drinks and bread. The Carrefour has a nice reading area and I brought my books. There was no one else around, so I sat down and read for almost two hours! With AC! At 6:05, I went and got fruit and went to the dumpling place. I ordered and waited for Alan and Isaiah. What a feast we had for only 460NT$! (That's about 15US$) And we ate super well...
I scootered back to the mechanics and they were closed already.
We got home and Mom was in bed! YEAH!
I hope I will get extra hours of help with the government subsidy for this coming year. Maybe 80 times for 2024! That would be so awesome. I will find out in December! Then when Alan is gone (from January 11th to February 19th), I will get help every Saturday afternoon from 3-7pm!
Daily Lovely Insight:
I am trying to get to this point!
Seek Him First!
Should get helper more often
ReplyDeleteI use up the hours... from the government. But you're talking about getting help and paying out of pocket? I think the cost is outrageous!
