Caring for a loved one full-time is a journey filled with both joys and challenges. Family caregivers often juggle personal responsibilities alongside caregiving, which can lead to burnout over time if they lack regular breaks. This is where home healthcare in Yeadon, Pennsylvania steps in, offering respite services designed to support caregivers by providing temporary relief. Respite care empowers caregivers to recharge, reducing stress levels and helping them return with renewed focus and energy, which enhances the care they provide.

I want a caregiver so badly.

I want someone to check on me and make sure I'm okay and tuck me in at night.

I want someone to hold me and kiss my hair and sing lullabies badly to me.

I want someone to call papa or mama or bubby, that calls me sweet nicknames too.

I want someone to love me.

I am still here. Been a tough week. Weight unknown. Rough period, been sick for a long time, hurt rib, tough to sleep. Never feel rested.

Work is weird. They just let go someone who had 24 years of experience in a really hard to learn computer system. She was the one who did almost all of our extremely high dollar claims. The knowledge we lost due to the lack of documentation for this stupid system is unknown. I surmise she was let go (from the context) because she was working off the clock.

Did they stop to think or ask why she felt like she had to work off the clock? Did they stop to think how our team would be affected?

Idk, but they canned her anyway.

Anyone could be next.

I am heartbroken for her, and scared myself because I am generally a loud mouth fuck up. I have no where near the level of knowledge that she had.

If they weren't paying for school I would try to shamble somewhere else that has a better culture.

Or better yet, just care for mom until she passes. Play games. Read. Quality time and not worry about the future.

I hate that I struggle with basic tech stuff. I am having problems getting into one of the classroom systems for school. They keep sending authentication to my work email, which i cannot be on if I am not working and I cannot be working on school when I am working. Catch 22.

Add new terror to my dieting experience.

Overeating, although a conditioned response, is still my go to. I weighed over 300 pounds, it was my go to for a very long time. I am trying to overcome that BS but it is a struggle.

But... for today, I am going to do what I can. Stand at my desk. Hopefully get some good steps in and go to jiu jitsu class.

I had a delightful salad for lunch and just whipped up an apple cider yogurt dip thing that I am planning to use with apple cinnamon rice cake bites. Just plain nf Greek yogurt & sf apple cider mix.

Last night's dinner was chicken & asparagus risotto, which had rice in it. Idk that i knew that when I bought it but I ate it.

I worked out to beat off the stress from the school problem. (And to try to stay "in habit" because I have a hard time with habits. Prolly she to undiagnosed ADHD. )

They Don’t Understand Me:

People who DON’T know my whole story and hear I was “home schooled”, automatically think I was “sheltered” as a teenager… Erm, call it what you want to… I was the family caretaker. I didn’t get a teenage life. I was changing diapers and getting my grandma’s medicine for her. I was making meals for every one and cleaning house. The only thing I didn’t do back then was go to a public high school, get a real job or drive a car but I was responsible for many people’s lives AND I was emotionally abused in my 20’s by more than one man. I had my nudes exploited on Twitter and face book for all these strangers to look at me!! 😓 Call it “sheltered” all you want to. People just meet me and think “oh she’s so quiet and close to her mom” yeah, NOW I AM!!! AFTER THE ABUSE… y’all didn’t meet me before that: when I wasn’t so close to my mom and I was being used to take care of everyone around me and my own needs were neglected!!!!!!!! (Such as making sure my mental and physical health is good… I was depressed and suicidal for 3 and a half years!!!!!)

I have so many issues now that God is working on taking care of FINALLY cuz I’m ready to deal with it all now. Can’t really talk about it becuase people just don’t understand. I can’t be mad at people for not understanding at all… Outsiders looking in, just don’t get it and I know I’ve talked a lot about my exes and made some assumptions based off whatever they told me or whatever I believed I saw. I understand I only know a small portion of whatever they went through and don’t know all of their stories. They lied to me so, who knows what to believe 🥺🥺 Was their stories as bad as mine??? I don’t know that. I just want them to be okay but I can’t fix them or change them. I can ONLY work on myself. I am trying!! I am trying to get better and take better care of myself. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

How do Littles find their Caregivers? Do they get recommended people by other Littles? Do they tell people in their lives? Do they have to meet a stranger? Is it scary, putting that much trust in someone else?

205.8 today

Low # verified by 2nd day weigh in.

It's not a fluke. This is real.

I haven't weighed this since I was 18, a freshman in college. Like 25 years ago.

After all the weird ideas going thru my head this week, it is great to see a low number. Man, my head tried to fuck me up.

Soul Truth ✨️Part 1.

I was a caregiver for about three years. When I first started, I truly thought it would be my life's work. I thought I was put on this earth to help people and make their lives and aging a little easier. I had many clients, some short term and others ... they became family.

My first client I was 18 years old, and he had dementia. We will call him Vet. Mr. Vet was 85 years old when I met him. He was NOT happy to see me for the first few weeks. He called me "Chocolate Devil" because he thought I would eat all of his chocolate pudding. No, I didn't eat it , lol. He ate it, but he never remembered me feeding him. I sat with him for about 8 or 9 months while they were waiting for his spot at the VA.

I could tell Mr. Vet was a very sweet man with his own issues. He loved politics and REALLY disliked the fact that Donald Trump was orange. He loved landscaping, so I always opened his window so he could see the yard. Mr. Vet lived with his stepdaughter and second wife. I wasn't aware of his other children until one morning, he was extremely emotional. I could console him or redirect his thoughts no matter what I did. So we talked about it..

"Mr. Vet? What are we feeling today?" He responded, telling me he missed his son. I asked if we would like for me to call him. He explained that he wouldn't answer even if I did call. I asked why. He then told me his son saw him as nothing but money. Then, just like that, memory is gone. He asked for his bath and I bathed him, fed him and watched TV with him.

His stepdaughter explained that his some truly was terrible to him. Solely because he married her mother , "giving away family money" is what he told his dad. I felt bad because Mr. Vet cried for him a lot . . . After 9 months, they got his spot, and he was able to move on to the VA. I still speak with his stepdaughter, and he's doing well even now.

Mr. Vet was my first sign that I was in the right place . Doing the right thing. I was then in the space I was meant to be in.
