A down in the dumps post.
Firstly, I'm tired, so there.
So, we are now in the thick of winter. I shovel and shovel and work in between and take mom on her errands and keep track of her medicines and her groceries and her life in general. She resents me nonetheless. I know she doesn't mean it. Yet I live with it.
Her hearing aid died on Wednesday...not the battery. The hearing aid office was closed on Thursday due to the blizzard...yeah the one with all the shoveling that I did. It was open on Friday morning but I was busy and couldn't get there.
Light snow again and again over the weekend...shovel, shovel, shovel. This creates havoc with my arthritis. I ache.
Mom can't understand why I can't get her hearing aid fixed...NOW! I explain again about the office hours and the weather. Doesn't matter to her...SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
So, here I sit watching the start of another blizzard. Got Amanda to work and will need to pick her up at 4 today. Hopefully the driving will still be manageable. Guess I'll have to manage!
I got a load of laundry done and Ray almost got a load done before the dryer broke. Of course. What else can go wrong? He's off to get his soggy clothes dried at the laundromat. Mom wanted to do a load but now can't. She's mad because she has an eye dr. appointment on Tuesday morning and thinks she will have nothing clean to wear. ONE MORE THING.
So when do I get her hearing aid fixed? Blizzard tonight/tomorrow so can't get there even if they are open. Their out-of-town office is open Tuesday, but Mom has a morning appointment and Amanda has an afternoon one...both in town. Maybe Wednesday? (more snow expected) Not to mention someone will need to be home for the dryer repairman.
Work? Yeah, that, too.
