"what we have here is a failure to communicate"

i know it's been a while since i last wrote a post to this site, but i have been pretty busy with my new client. She's a very sweet (and crafty LOL) little old lady, but because she is a widow and she has a host of various aches and pains, being diabetic, and having her right great toe amputated, well, my heart goes out to her.

now what do i mean when i say she's "crafty" well, for one thing, her mind's sharp as a razor. if she wants me to do something, first i'll hear the deep sighs and moans that "oh my back hurts so much" or "i miss my husband dearly," and the ever popular "oh Lord, please give me strength." All of those phrases are designed to kinda sorta make me feel guilty, especially when it's time for me to leave. Like yesterday.

when i got to her house, at first i thought nobody was home, and was about to turn around and go my ass home. but the little lady opened the door, and said, "didnt they call you?" and i'm standing there like a doofus saying, "uh, no ma'am, no one called me." then i knew when she was going to get crafty on me.

after much foncusion (yes i know, i misspelled confusion on purpose, ok?) and a failure to communicate, she said, well do you want to stay or go? my first mind was saying "go! make a run for it fool! go! go! GO!" and when i said yeah, i think i'm gonna go on back home, i swear before all that is holy, i never saw her switch from happy to pitiful in a split second. Then that's when the sad face took over, and finally i caved and said, "i'll just go on and finish the day." then the happy face took over the sad face within a millisecond.

i'd just been played by this sweet but crafty elderly lady.

i dont like when people do that to me, but for her i'll let it go. for now.

just dropping in

hi all. just dropping in to say hi. i start work on Monday at a new client's home, and if all goes well, i'll be going there Mondays and Thursdays from 9 am to 1 pm.

the last client --- omigod. i'm not gonna sit here and waste space talking about it. all i know is that place needs to be exorcised or something.

anyhoo, that's all i have to say about that. i hope you all are taking care of yourselves and each other and one day soon i hope to be back online on my own computer at home.

until fingers meet keyboard again, i wish you peace, enlightenment, and love.

bye!
