Well it’s a bank holiday weekend for everyone who isn’t a carer!
We’ve had a settled few days thankfully. Both managers on annual leave so it was so nice just to be able to get on with my work without unnecessary interference 🤣🤣 quite enjoyed driving round the countryside visiting my clients.
Have been doing some reading around mum’s condition which may explain her shaking. It’s a fascinating condition but not good that its so rare the docs don’t get it 🙈
I’ve been determined to try and invest in myself when we have settled days so I did try to book in a friend only for them to go down unwell….BUT was super spontaneous and called on another and got a walk in so v pleased that worked! Family are more around over the weekend but sadly the dreary weather has put pay to trips deep into the countryside.
As I write the sundowning is kicking off here. There’s been a birthday and extra visitors which I think has unsettled the delicate balance. Two of the ladies are literally screaming to go home, the shouting man is shouting, the new old man with the braces is looking for his carer and the new resident who thinks they’re boss is pacing the corridor with intent 🙈🙈. the poor carers are frazzled. As my sister is here I paced a bit with ‘the boss’ - I always ‘check in on duty’ when I arrive and now we’re best buddies 🥰🥰🥰
