Inglewood. Client. Mood.

9:42am. Inglewood. I stayed at Dietra's last night after work. She lives close to the client I work with on weekends so it's easy, plus I can help her with her grandmother in the mornings. Grandma, everyone calls her Grandma, is 99 years old now. Her birthday is in March. Her morning care is pretty challenging, especially for one person.  Dietra is amazing at how she cares for her. It is really a lot of work though. It takes some crazy patience. It takes feeling like it even when you don't feel like it because there is nobody else to do it. Well, nobody who will do it like you. Caring for a live in loved one is a gigantic job. I know it. I used to live with my grandparents and helped my grandmother take care of my grandfather. I didn't intend to go there. Anyway.

Yesterday I worked with my client. He was in a mood. I get it. After I changed him he went in the room and took his pants off and came strutting in the living room like...What? Like he dared me to touch him. I chilled and let him do him. I let him be the boss of him. What did it cost me? He didn't want me to put his pants on him. Okay, sir. Your way. I really like him. Usually he is very funny and often tries to make me laugh. And so I laugh. We all have our days. I see him again today at noon. I'm hoping for a good shift.

My cousin, Gilbert passed last week. His funeral is Tuesday. I guess like with most people, the last time I saw him I didn't imagine would be the last time I saw him alive. Another reminder to love on our loved ones while they are here.

Well, I'm behind on a story I'm working on and want to get some writing in before I leave and it's already 9:54 and Grandma will be up soon. Have a great day all.

Love yourselves.
