Dad's moving.

Dad's moving. 

Dad's moving is going well, Dad has been moved from room 201 to room 114 last week. It is a smaller room, much smaller but cozy aswell. When I went to the place where he lives I had to find him first, I couldn't find room nr. 114. Dad went from the second floor to the first floor, the first floor is like a maze. A few nurses helped me out and guided me into his room, he was sitting in his chair where he always sits. My Aunt was telling me last week that his room is VERY small, and that Dad isn't happy with it at all. Well, okay his room is small, but it's really not THAT small, he has his TV, his chair and his bed. Further he has a perfect outside view, and has everything he needs. I think a room like this invites him aswell to go out of his room, out of his room he can go to another room where every resident comes together for a chat or something to eat, or what ever. He can go to visit other residents aswell in their rooms. 

Still snowy and icy, but not for long....

As always Dad was happy to see me, he told me everything about his new room. He looked happy, so all was good. I had a look in Dad's old room aswell, thinking it was already mostly empty according to what my my Aunt, said. Oh yeah, they were so busy with it the last week it seemed. But no, his old room was still full of furniture and other decorations and items, all the closets were still full. I thought, "What on earth have they all done then, when they were so busy?" Alot had to be done, so, I figured why don't I start now? I had a few big bags with me and a few little plastic bags. I started with sorting everything out, what is garbage, what can stay at my Dad's new room, and what can go to a second hand store. Ocfource I packed a big bag full with items what I can use, before other Family members come and grab things. Oh the amount of stuff my Dad had, I surely didn't expect that much. I was out of plastic bags, but got it all done anyway. 

This coming week we get rain, lot's of rain, I will miss the snow.

I sorted everything out, garbage, second hand stuff, my stuff, and Dad's stuff. I walked alot from left to right to go from my Dad's old room to his new room, and that damn door, ugh, every time I had to push a code to open that door. Lots of work but Dad's new room looks much cozier now. A nurse told me to keep space aswell in Dad's new room, his walking is so bad that he sometimes need a wheelchair, and sometimes nurses have to use a lift to get him to bed, yeah, he's really getting old. Kinda sad to see him like that, I really love him! I got much stuff done, I grabbed my bag, thanked Dad and took off. The bag was so heavy, and it snowed alot aswell. I was dead exhausted walking with that big bag, the bag was full with Dad's old groceries what I still could use, and fully with drinking glasses and mugs, plus a few other nice things. One more week then Dad's room has to be completely empty, I think it's easy to do, even if I had to do it. 

Coffee to wake me up, the train will be there in about ten minutes. On my way to Dad.

There's a second hand store in Dad's village, they can pick up the furniture and other items for free. Just one call, make a appointment and done. Aunt's idea was to pick up the lighter things and bring them right away to the second hand store by themselves (okay), then the heavier furniture to my Nephew, my Aunt's Son (okay). That's fine with me, I didn't wanna start a argue, so all is fine. If the furniture stays at my cousin's, also fine! Aunt almost started a argue again after I told her what I had done today, sigh. I stood up for myself and told on her! Then she crawled back, yay me! You never know it with my Aunt, she can be sweet as candy, but then all of sudden, ouch! Let's see what happens this week, I offered to help out on Wednesday and on Friday, one call and I will be there.
