heya all....just dropping a note to let anyone who may wonder how things are going know that i'm doing ok! despite a few nutter moments such as my own stalker, which i'd love advice on so please email me privately for the lowdown on the story because i get scolded about posting it here (you can find it on the tdk mailing list, and if you don't belong to it, you're welcome to ask another member, but please make sure u let me know who you are when you email me and that u r from the gang here.).....
i had that little fear of going back to driving - it's going pretty well, believe it or not. im doing better now than i did the first time i drove. it really was the fact that the beetle is just perfect for me to drive. i hooked my ipod and have my fav indian music playlist go on it.
a friend from college and i went our own ways. she was a nice person, but didn't quite have all the lettuce in her salad bowl. and one day she says to me she was dissapointed because i used some of my mum's money to get soem things for both mum and me at a thrift shop. this came from a person who was proud to say that she has stolen things from that thrift shop in the past. i told her as politely as i could that it was none of her bsuiness, and that my mother knew what i was doing, and it was our own concerns. if this bothered her so much then we didn't need to continue our friendship. it's ok anyway because everytime she wanted to get together, she wanted me to meet with her and some person who i don't know who was really off their rocker. and i had to keep politely dodging her so i'd not hurt her.
anyway, as for mum...she's doing ok at the nursing home. she's getting decent treatment, and is accepting of it. she's been fearful of some things like one of the treatments, and diapers, but is overcoming them once she tries them. i got to meet with a shrink last week, and will meet with him again this week perhaps to discuss her issues, and we will see what they can do. i wake up very early and come to make sure she gets herself up and ready for her occupational and physical therapies. even my volunteer heart has not left me. one of the therapists has been extremely greatful because one of the newer patients spends alot of time being confused and upset. last week, i lent a hand when he was trying to help her find a phone number with no sucess. i sued my iphone to google a local market that could come up with the name of the bank she was looking for. it worked, and it helped her out. she is still very fragile, but the therapists notice i seem to have a gentle way with her. so i come for mum, and wind up helping out alot of people, and it makes me feel good. i'm also busy running errands often, and do her laundry because they lost a couple of her clothes the first time the washed them. so anyway, love u all....
i also found some really cool lipsticks on clearance at rite aid. and massaging slippers, which i had to snap up because my feet have been really sore as of lately. the lipsticks r sally hansen stuff...they r really thick lipglosses, for under 3 bucks. and one signature lipstick - aishwarya rai - for under 5. ash rai is an indian actress...though not my favourite, she's cool, and i was so hepped to see her name on lisptick here. so that will be a collector item, and im sure my husband will laugh over my find!
