A day in the life of...

I was sitting here, trying to think up something deep and profound, but I guess my deepness is left wanting today?! so, the little things of what my day has looked like so far will have to suffice, as potentially un-amusing or uninteresting as they may sound...

we have home health for grandma. every Mon-Fri at 8am, we get a nurses aide at our door, coming to help grandma for the morning. now, as a disclosure, for starters, I'm her over-protective granddaughter and I'm quickly learning how she likes things done. secondly, I worked as an aide for 7 years, in pretty much any and all establishments that utilize the training of a certified nurses aide. that said, some of the "help" we get, just doesn't quite get it. they're super sweet, don't get me wrong, but they can't seem to wrap their minds around the training and specifics we try to fill them in on when they come to help grandma. and, frankly, its frustrating. I want grandma feeling safe, confident and cared for in every possible way. long story short, this morning wasn't the greatest. so, I do my best to let it go, to help as best I can, to be as gentle and honest as I can...and, I still let it go!

thats how it goes in these parts. thats what my days consist of. these are the important things in life right now. and its good.
