Oh I'm sorry @Changing4Best - but I do admire your pragmatic and loving way you deal with this sort of stuff.

Caring for the elderly is a very unique job. It takes much courage to know that your clients are entering the last stage of their life and you cannot do anything to stop that from happening but you can and do make it easier for them.

You have such a loving attitude towards these people. I know it hurts to let them go. The fact that it does hurt means you are doing a great job. I would be concerned if you didn't miss them.

I'm sorry you cannot sleep. It's just turned three in the afternoon here. I've got back from my swim, been to see my psydoc and wondering what the hell I am going to have for dinner.

I hope you manage to get a few hours of sleep C4B. :hug:

Interestingly enough, my client is still allowed to go to the place where I care for my other clients. So, I still have 3 clients and things will continue on as they have been for the most part. She was upset today, that is for sure. Yesterday she lost her home, her cat and her independence. I would expect nothing less from her than tears, anger and confusion which is exactly what she was experiencing today. By the end of our day, she was back to her usual self though, thank goodness. As for me, I had a super stressful day and I am up again, wide awake. I am going to try to go back to sleep now.
 
Messaging with my cousin.
She's currently wedding dress shopping (we live in different cities) and sent me me photos of her in her top three picks, asking for my "honest maid of honour opinion".
So I let her know my favourite, and why. But damn, she looks so beautiful. Got me quite emotional. And I'm thinking, I'm gonna have to compose myself well on the day so I don't go setting off others (especially her) with the waterworks. :D

Update: turns out she is in my city! (because her parents live here too, but I'd just assumed she'd be in her city trying them on with her mum)
Cousin messaged me asking if I was in town today, and then I clicked :happy:
Her and her mum are going to pick me up after lunch so I can see the dresses in person.

So. Excited.

Sitting in bed eating a ham sandwich. I'm feeling better after taking an Imitrex injection and a pain med. I feel really tired because I only got three hours of sleep. I'm okay just doing what I need to do for myself. Hope everyone is doing well, out here the sky is blue and the sun is just perfect...beautiful day...so lucky.
 
I'm with kitty! She's doing okay. There were a few rough bumps today so boyfriend is exhausted. He thinks she is dying. I'm praying for her to get better. I worked for 5 hours today. Came home and she couldn't breathe. This came on so sudden! Anyway, vet and I are becoming "Bestee's". Got to call in the morning for her eating instructions and go pick up some nose drops.
