Has it been four days..since I wrote in this blog? I am trying to make myself write down a daily entry but Real Life gets in the way! I really want to be able to put down a record of what goes on in my daily life but I just cannot seem to keep a daily blog!! Everything just adds up to a routine...work, school,..study,..work schol..study,..and I am getting a bit bored. I guess that I should be looking up new things and adventures, but change is a hard thing to push onto one's self. I won't say that I am overly bored...I just can't seem to come up with anything new at this particular moment!! There has to be more to it than this...this right now is writing up papers and things in preparation for the end of something that is ending..a school year!! Then,...a four month break of working..among other things!!
I still have to send out all of those news articles, and I still have to finish my book reviews. I cannot say that I have not got a lot to get done!!
On a lighter note,..my new client,..my new home care patient..has a bad heart condition,...and has bi-polar disorder!! She is a little eratic,..but not too bad. I am just beginning with her as she enters her manic phase! How do I know that she is entering her manic phase? Well, she took off all of her clothes yesterday and went outside to water her flower garden in the nude as I was running the water for her bath in her bathroom!!
The neighbors would have enjoyed the sight more if she was not eight-nine years old!! Somehow an eighty nine year old unclothed grandmama out watering her posies at three o'clock in the afternoon does no one any good in Beach City,..Ohio!!
After I discovered her doing her nudist type lawn care and gardening, the problem was how to get her back into the house,..quietly without attracting too much attention because at three o'clock in the afternoon all of the kids from the Fairless Elementery School come home on their respective buses, and her street has a big population of kiddies!!
Oh the horror,..if her grandchildren were treated to the statement the next morning in school, "Lisa! Jeffery! I saw your grandma, Mrs. Florrie Belle,..out watering her flowers yesterday..when everyone was riding home on the school bus!!"
I should not have been surprised, however,..Mrs.Belle has been known to walk about in her birthday suit quite often..so it should not be too big a shock to her neighborhood. Her naked perambulations have mostly been after dark so she must have been planning my first day with her as a sort of "grand opening" party!! Inspired, I called out to her, "Florrie Belle,..it's time to eat!! Come in right away!!"
Florrie came back into the house with me willingly enough, but she refused to dress for our little impromptu meal, and we sat down, me clothed and her...undressed. She gave a whole new "meaning " to the words...THE...NAKED LUNCH!
I should be happy that she did not decide,...under the circumstances,..to fertilize the lawn!!
