My Mom's Storage Shed

  My Mom told us to clean out the storage shed in her backyard, so we went down to her house. We noticed the shed was in bad condition, the roof caved in and when Tom carefully walked inside the shed, we found out there was a lot of trash and a very many items inside. It took me and Tom several days to dispose of all the trash. We filled up the back of our truck with the trash from the shed. Also Tom noticed that the top of the fence around the shed was worn out, so we went to Home Depot to buy two pieces 2x4 redwood planks costing $7.95 a plank and one bag of concrete mix which cost $2.89. After we bought the planks we went back to my mom's house. When we removed the old wood from the fence, we found out the side door was in bad shape as well. So Tom removed the door and tried to fix it. We found out we needed some more wood to fix the door, so Tom looked around the garden to salvage some wood, and he found some to repair the door. Unfortunately, when we were half done, Tom's power drill ran out of power, so we had to stop. Tom decided to fortify the fence poles in the ground, so he poured concrete mix into the ground under the poles, which took 24 hours to dry. Before it dried, Tom make sure the poles were the same height. After that, we had dinner at around 9:30 P.M, then we left the house at 10. We went dispose the trash, and then after than we went back to our house. We only were able to finish 1/3 of our job and come back to finish it someday.

My Garden

My Front Yard with Next Door Neighbor car

My Favor Flower is Bigger Everyday

The Front Road with Flower and Plant on Each Side

Back Yard with Fruits Trees

Small Plant 

I really don't have the time to take care of my front or backyard.  Most of the time I will sit on my computer and check on the internet for movies or shows.  Sometimes I will read books which I have checked out from the library,  but my biggest problem is that I don't like to do yardwork.

Big "Fight" With My Mom

Today I went to visit my mom in the Generations Healthcare.  She has been in this place since 8/6/12.
When I went inside her room, which was #41, she told me she just went poo-poo this morning.  She would like to have a shower. I asked her when was last time she had shower.  She told me she did not take a shower for many days.While she was talking to me, there was a lady that came into the room and asked my mom that it was time for her to do physical exercise. During that time I went outside to station 1, and talked to one of the nurses about my mom needing a shower. She said "I will need to check the schedule and get back to you."  I went back to the exercise room and watched my mom doing the physical exercise for 20 minutes.  After my mom finished, the lady pulled her back into her room, and I went back to the station 1 to ask the nurse again, if she was able to schedule my mom for a shower today.  She told me that she will put her down for 3:00 P.M. I went back to my mom's room and let her know she is going to have a shower at around 3:00P.M.  While we were talking, there was a man named Frank (Administrator) who came to ask me "How is everything, did anyone come back to you?"  I told him so far that no one came to tell me anything yet. Then the supervisor of the showers came in and told me that my mom already had a shower on Monday.  I told her that my mom told me that she did not have any showers for several days. She also insisted that my mom had a shower on Monday and that she won't be able to get another shower until Thursday, because her shower worker already gave her a shower on Monday and would not lie about her work. I told her back that my mom would not lie to me either, since I'm her daughter, so she would not lie to me either. The supervisor replied with a "If you don't like trust us, why don't you move your mom to a different nursery home?" I later then took the person who gave showers to my mom, so my mom can confirm if she really got a shower lately or not, and my mom said that she didn't remember if she received a shower or not. The supervisor said "If you insist on having a shower today, I will give it to your mom." My mom said that she would like to have a shower today. After the supervisor left, I started to yell at my mom because she told me conflicting views, as in at first, she told me she did not have a shower for a few days, to not remembering about it, to telling me to back out  about the shower problem, and by then, it was too late to back out of the conflict. Then I told my mom, "If you don't know or are uncertain about having showers, then please don't ask me to request a shower for you." My mom said that "I didn't know that you would be in such a big conflict over having showers, you shouldn't have a big fight about it, if they say I had a shower, then I had it." I was upset and told my mom that she made me look like an idiot in front of the staff, and you drove me crazy since you keep telling me different things and I don't know how to react to them. I left the room afterwards, then I met Jerome, the physical therapist, who overheard us fighting in the room, and asked me what was wrong. I told him that my mom drove me crazy and we just had a fight, so he asked me if he can do anything to help us. I told him there was nothing he can do to help me or my mom but to feel sorry for us, and then left to go pick my son up.

My First Blog: I AM HUNGRY.

Why do some people have to eat every time when he or she is hungry?  I eat because I am hungry, but sometimes, I am just bored.  I like to eat different types of food. I get bored very easily if I only eat one kind of food.  Therefore, I love to taste different kinds of food.  Sometimes I will buy the food which I have never bought before. If the food does not taste right to me, I will end up throwing it away.  Even though I only take one bite of it.  I know this is very wasteful and costly, so sometime I will give it to my husband to finish it.  He is not a picky eater, he eats almost everything I give him.  On the other hand, I will only finish the food which I like, if the food taste bad or funny to me,  I will stop eating it.
