"That's settled!"

"That's settled!" 

I had much to do today, I had a plan, lol. But forgetting one thing at a grocery store in my Dad's village screwed the whole plan up. The plan today was to go in the morning to my Dad and have a little talk with Dad's guiding nurse and in the afternoon the second part of the Spring cleaning, but I forgot the all cleaner! I had my hands full with one bag of groceries and going back to the store was not really a option, I was tired and sleepy aswell. Going to another store wasn't a option either, they see me already comming with a full bag of groceries. I planned (before I forgot the all cleaner) to do my groceries in my Dad's village while I'm on my way to the trainstation. It would have been good, so I was done with the groceries and could start with the cleaning. But no! What a drama, hahaha!

The store where I went to wasn't a good one either, they didn't have half the groceries I needed and it was busy. I bought most of my groceries, besides the all cleaner, lol, (forgot!) and went to the train. I nearly fell asleep in the train, and the grocery bag was heavy, never that again. When I got home I made lunch, and went for a long nap. I decided to rest and just before dinner I will do the rest of my groceries. So at 4:30 I took off, bought my last groceries and when I got home I prepaired dinner. No, this time I didn't forget all cleaner, lol. I bought a nice big bottle, smells like lemon. So all the groceries are inside, tomorrow will be a cleaning day, all day. I will stick with that plan, lol. Music blasting is a must tomorrow.

The appointment with Dad's nurse went well, what a nice friendly lady. A bit of a akward feeling though, cause usually I walk straight to Dad's room, but not now. The nurse and I walked towards her office, her office was almost next to my Dad's room, lol. My Dad has always the door open, always! And when I say open I mean wide open. This time he had the door open aswell, he couldn't see me though cause two doors before my dad's room was the office where we went too. When we sat down I told her my story and what I wanted, I also told the nurse about my Aunt a bit. It wasn't really gossiping but just informing the nurse about her. The nurse laughed and was stunned when I told her that my Aunt told me that with every time I visit my Dad the nurses are  writtin it down, like they keep a score.

"We don't do such things," the nurse laughed. The conversation went well, I informed her about me and I asked her about my Dad, like how he is doing and what is going on with her. My Dad is on a waiting list for another section from where he lives now, in that section are living people who are disabled and slightly dement. The room what he will get  will be a bit smaller then he has now, I told the nurse that I would like that they didn't take to much from him, he's attatched to his things, like his TV and lazy chair or the things what reminds him from the past, and ofcource the things what reminds him from Mom, pictures, paintings, ect, ect. Aswell the things what he usually does during the days, for example, his daily dinner with the residents, or the bingo once a week. 

My Dad is someone who really needs to to get used to another situation or a new environment, just like me, lol. The nurse told me that that wasn't a thing to worry about, most of those things he will keep. I can aswell just visit him whenever I want, and I will. The new section where my Dad will go to will be his last moving said the nurse, it sounded a bit hard or harsh, but it's the way it is. My Dad will turn 75 this year, he might look weak and fragile but he's a strong guy aswell, with such a tiny heart, this afternoon he cried with a episode of Ophra Winfrey, lol. Now, my Aunt will stay to be the first one one on the list if there's news about my Dad, or if he needs something, when there's a meetinmg, or whatever. But I will be next to my Aunt, I also will be the first one, informed the nurse. 

I gave the nurse my cellphone number my adress plus my email adress, "I will inform you when there's news about your Dad trough email," said the nurse. "That's perfect!" I replied. After the conversation I went to my Dad, two doors further, lol. Dad said,"Where were you now?" Dad saw me comming from outside, and thought that I would come for him, but first I had a appointment with Dad's nurse, lol. Dad looked good, new blouse, new haircut, so short, lol. It reminded me that I had it that short when I still lived with him and that my Dad complained about it, now he has it super short. I love you Dad!! Funny was the moment that my Aunt called me two times when I returned from Dad's place, I didn't answer.... I didn't feel to....

My Aunt will call back though, but I will keep it short, haha, just the facts. And yeah she lied, now I know it for sure. It's all settled now.

Thanks Jana.
