A Busy Day!

That is why I have not been here until now. It is 11 in the evening and I am going to bed in a few minutes time. I have done only a few notifications. I will be catching up tomorrow. Since I am early awake every day since last Thursday, I need an hour nap in the afternoon after my caregiving time. After that nap, I cook for our dinner, do some household chores before going to the old lady whom I am working for. I prepare her dinner which is only bread with ham and cheese spread, boiled egg and some fruits. I only need to prepare what she needs near her bed, close the windows of her house and then off I go home. That’s just an hour. I am always sorry that I have to leave her alone until the next day. That is my routine now until the lady has her place in the home for the aged. Weekends are my free time and that will be the time I can sleep long and interact more with you. The photo above is my portulaca on my balcony. The yellow portulaca blossoms today next to the pink ones. Are they not beautiful? Anyway, thanks for reading. Have a nice week.

You are super busy with work and at home! I'm sure the lady appreciates all that you do for her - I hope she finds a nice senior home to live in. The flowers are so lovely ! Well just make sure you get proper rest for yourself . . . we will see you when we see you .
