I really have no time anymore. Can't believe it really as before there were 24 hours in the day now there seems to be only a few. I wake up in the morning with a list of things to do, washing,ironing,cooking,cleaning. I now can do Mum and Dads within 45 mins but my own seems to have no relevance!
I make them a cup of tea, Mum has now been registered blind and Dad has dementia. I then clean the kitchen...(sit down and talk to us she says ...yep in a minute!), can't have anyone turning up when it's dirty.
Moved them nearer to me so that now they're in assisted living. This is hilarious as I thought it was the answer to my prayers. Assisted living is not dementia help, yes they are dementia friendly but the work that carers at dementia homes give and dementia friendly carers (with a badge) give is a thousand years different!
Right taken them out, had lunch, done some shopping ...I feel like Laurel & Hardy (that's another fine mess) as I chase after Dad who I left on the chair at the back of Sainsbury's and has "gone to look for us".
By now I should be a size 10 and fit as a fiddle, sat on the sofa knackered and wondering where my day went....
Oh well just another day in paradise - time for a coffee/etc (Just)
