No, I am still not emotionally ready to discuss the events of the last few months yet as it is far too painful and difficult. However, I will update you on the current situation. My mom is back at Mifflin Center after <u>several bad falls</u> and TRYING to rehab there. She had no choice but to change her current Medicare third party insurance (Geisinger Gold Advantage Plan) to regular Medicare because Geisinger would not approve her stay at Mifflin Center until April to continue her rehab! And at $400-some dollars per day, she can NOT afford it! <u>I HATE insurance</u>! Especially when it is so damned complicated and confusing thanks to our Government!! I have no freaking idea WHAT I am doing I feel so lost. I spent four hours at Mifflin Center yesterday making phone calls with my mom lying in a bed aside of me because even as a legal P.O.A., there are some things I can do to help my mom and some things I can NOT - dealing with changing my mom's address with Social Security (and the million questions they ask of an 84 year old woman) is one of them, and, dealing with the IRS and taking care of her taxes is another! Both the State of Pennsylvania AND the IRS DO NOT recognize a legal document such as a Power of Attorney. In fact, the IRS has their own way of doing things and require you to fill out all kinds of ridiculous forms in order to accept you and your legal P.O.A. In other words, my mom's bank and her insurance honor it, but the IRS and State do not. My mom owed money this year and after contacting the IRS via telephone, I was advised to pay her Federal taxes owed from her modest annuity by cashier's check. Oh God how I hate taking on my mom's responsibilities. It scares me TO DEATH! There is A LOT more to this story , but I will spare you the ugly details. I swear I am losing my mind!!!!!!</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">In other news, while I was getting ready for work on Tuesday, I received an IM via Facebook from The Mint Leaf that I won a bunch of tulips.

Well, it is a miserable rainy Saturday here in Reading, PA and it is supposed to rain the rest of the weekend. I had a lot of running around to do this morning regardless. Among the endless list of responsibilities bestowed upon me (most of which are my mother's), I had to run to my mom's bank to get two cashier's checks for her income taxes which I am a NERVOUS WRECK<b> </b>over (another horror story in itself)), and I also had to drop off my husbands and I's income taxes to be done by our usual tax preparer service - more about that at a later time. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnh7qiimjw_ffm5yntm2kB4k0gijpGXJa5y83U0_CHbFZR-nqVVfZLeOntTjBtivxY-5__MIcKHA2JSqn1shwP9wmbGDzvub52T9hMFJ56ecptY3jXbI4VrIJFJ-S4c2ywTeuyKQ0J4z4GzeYjHgz3M-HVZ8DRLVPJJo1TeMQOmcztW40fAkba0jNr1qo/s938/JvDqQlL.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="625" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnh7qiimjw_ffm5yntm2kB4k0gijpGXJa5y83U0_CHbFZR-nqVVfZLeOntTjBtivxY-5__MIcKHA2JSqn1shwP9wmbGDzvub52T9hMFJ56ecptY3jXbI4VrIJFJ-S4c2ywTeuyKQ0J4z4GzeYjHgz3M-HVZ8DRLVPJJo1TeMQOmcztW40fAkba0jNr1qo/w266-h400/JvDqQlL.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">On top of everything else, I have been fighting a blood clot in my left leg for weeks now - been to St. Joseph's/Penn State Hospital TWICE in the last two weeks. It was diagnosed at a superficial blood clot, but it hurts and burns like hell.

My dad built the house and no one has ever lived there except my family. The attic is just a crawl space that you can not even stand in. </span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Carissa shared a story with me about something "creepy" that happened while they were checking out the attic to see how much of a mess we have to deal with. She said that every time her husband spoke or said anything, the attic light would flicker. After he stopped talking, the light would stop flickering. They did this several times and the same thing would occur. Carissa spoke aloud to the "presence" that was apparently making themselves known to them and told them not to worry, they were not there to hurt anyone. She </span>immediately<span style="font-family: inherit;"> asked me if anybody had died in my mom's house. I explained to her that my dad had passed away in the living room surrounded by my mom and I. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, I have no doubt in my mind that my dad was in the house with them and most likely always is at all times. I can feel him every time I walk into the house and most </span>especially<span style="font-family: inherit;"> in the four-car garage which he also helped to build and was his pride and joy - which now is almost empty as I have been trying sell off items to help raise more money for my mom to live on. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I stated previously, this entire experience has been a complete and total nightmare. By far, the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life since dealing with the loss of my dad.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHki2tOyt_qFDchAEYCcAgq5Isj_I407kXGC0rMKlRH-Anx-DgeZxkVCKzkIpjd4LhQIylt_we4fqCYehNLMFUfqLUEBdFH0THJJDNsKqfGvaq-MFZf3OxrJDsGlT4UbRj9yPW48AEvf-B4UyMbYCzERAUkcZsHsiPFeWM4Ff1gnjxzDmHdEcY2cf6BQ/s1600/DSCF9427.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1181" data-original-width="1600" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHki2tOyt_qFDchAEYCcAgq5Isj_I407kXGC0rMKlRH-Anx-DgeZxkVCKzkIpjd4LhQIylt_we4fqCYehNLMFUfqLUEBdFH0THJJDNsKqfGvaq-MFZf3OxrJDsGlT4UbRj9yPW48AEvf-B4UyMbYCzERAUkcZsHsiPFeWM4Ff1gnjxzDmHdEcY2cf6BQ/w640-h472/DSCF9427.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfqC-zLTb3ZSYPhathf3B8gTMkd9qZU2baLUOkOWz0MLzP8m1XINCDSpL6omKtIIsRGNc7nhvxmnoZ0rdCrmXKjY1LVnv9tpJ2qDoQswVVc8mJeN3fIw72C5nYrJJHBA4LQge1q0rkUBD8V1ayhndbYlIa9AUhwJ7Y5b3ekACN46pkypSiBx9he8Ib4Y/s1600/DSCF9421.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1011" data-original-width="1600" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfqC-zLTb3ZSYPhathf3B8gTMkd9qZU2baLUOkOWz0MLzP8m1XINCDSpL6omKtIIsRGNc7nhvxmnoZ0rdCrmXKjY1LVnv9tpJ2qDoQswVVc8mJeN3fIw72C5nYrJJHBA4LQge1q0rkUBD8V1ayhndbYlIa9AUhwJ7Y5b3ekACN46pkypSiBx9he8Ib4Y/w640-h404/DSCF9421.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyILnau_nvL6o1O962GwMcYHRCNto17GEoFQG9rNcsFp343i4oNq_KkkgNyTW15PyrFc5CuYo48R5Op3UV82PLGJzLW_nn6V2CAj3I_V1mnNHUdwcP09gZ1hHyISeHaaE2RzO2PZfow440JM2LXq0fxHN39IT5Vd47oxiXLy04ZPUcCcZLEM5YUSFbyYY/s1600/DSCF9428.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1063" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyILnau_nvL6o1O962GwMcYHRCNto17GEoFQG9rNcsFp343i4oNq_KkkgNyTW15PyrFc5CuYo48R5Op3UV82PLGJzLW_nn6V2CAj3I_V1mnNHUdwcP09gZ1hHyISeHaaE2RzO2PZfow440JM2LXq0fxHN39IT5Vd47oxiXLy04ZPUcCcZLEM5YUSFbyYY/w640-h426/DSCF9428.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13796460571657156516noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310700715747991260.post-73708760669442054142023-09-07T08:02:00.005-07:002023-09-07T08:35:19.864-07:00Dream Interpretations<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvzitz6mK7cBI6x1jFYqlrj8d_TvAR1AoG_kXddvIbBFZOY_9dwp6HoQq0au328mT80UlOHg_yxR5Z05diA-j43f9VcdYkN5o3tws7aaxUS4g1mO9dQRGqMkvPLrFZkdm8uA0xofcnWsVRIWLegKsN-4ooQbHF-q3M8rD3blVGg4tPFLhybxGQ8CYyCr0/s450/swan2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="339" data-original-width="450" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvzitz6mK7cBI6x1jFYqlrj8d_TvAR1AoG_kXddvIbBFZOY_9dwp6HoQq0au328mT80UlOHg_yxR5Z05diA-j43f9VcdYkN5o3tws7aaxUS4g1mO9dQRGqMkvPLrFZkdm8uA0xofcnWsVRIWLegKsN-4ooQbHF-q3M8rD3blVGg4tPFLhybxGQ8CYyCr0/w400-h301/swan2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">After my previous post ("The Dream"), I decided to delve into the meanings behind dreams. I have always been interested in the subject and I have several books regarding it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">However, I came across an informative site called, "Dream Moods" and I thought that I would share some info from it as it pertains to my dream.. I have added the link to this site at the end of this post.</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I focused on the two main subjects of my particular dream:</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong style="text-align: left;"><a name="Dead"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Dead</u></span></a></strong></div><p align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To see or talk to the dead in your dream forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes material loss.</span></p><p align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span>If you dream of a person who has died a long time ago, then it suggests that a current situation or relationship in your life resembles the quality of that deceased person. The dream may depict how you need to let this situation or relationship die and end it. </span>If you dream of someone who has recently passed away, then it means that their death is still freshly in your mind. Dreams can also be a way for you to keep loved ones who have past away alive and still be in some aspect of your life. You are still trying to grasp the notion that he or she is really gone. If the dead is trying to get you to go somewhere with him or her, then it signifies that you are trying to understand their death. You also don't want to be alone.</span></p><p style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; text-align: left;"><strong><a name="Father"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <u>Father</u></span></a></strong></p><p align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To see your father in your dream symbolizes authority and protection. It suggests that you need to be more self-reliant. Consider also your waking relationship with your father and how aspects of his character may be incorporated within yourself. </span></p><p align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To dream that your father is dead forewarns that you need to proceed with caution in conducting some business matter.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpSZWX59cZMdgG5ypaCrlDXm0wVG6_NKbBCJCXkeO5pt6MeXnDtwauXs4YQ-bXNji64TgdCsR8vxwAGcnfHqrGHKL4MvnV8Wi4GS0QN8Qk-8VElxl2CfLVLvvjXpjkjOdcsSCaah6r96FKk547szTaWZI6oH--maSXgJFoZqoXYOCA-SLo1jZzwSM1mqs/s1600/swan.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1600" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpSZWX59cZMdgG5ypaCrlDXm0wVG6_NKbBCJCXkeO5pt6MeXnDtwauXs4YQ-bXNji64TgdCsR8vxwAGcnfHqrGHKL4MvnV8Wi4GS0QN8Qk-8VElxl2CfLVLvvjXpjkjOdcsSCaah6r96FKk547szTaWZI6oH--maSXgJFoZqoXYOCA-SLo1jZzwSM1mqs/w400-h250/swan.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">(Source:</span> <a href="http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/s.htm" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dream Moods: What's in your dream?</span></a><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/s.htm">http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/s.htm</a>)</span></p>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13796460571657156516noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310700715747991260.post-38685878657950112662023-09-05T22:26:00.007-07:002023-09-05T22:36:49.200-07:00The Dream<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-d_JMeb2RS_88LwYL-iW7P0rgwJZpCdiyrKnrpadaJP01Qi_BNPqpN_TKwwX4MSqjZ42lXLxzd2caj831lIar7p0f9N6LgTp6fwFGQNXe2kug4xPLbMMvpAPNeHWC8sWPWbZBo53r4YcUvtDd5KnGU3i4PztyftVobM4e3dcwTN0hBzPk3wE7OqMjiM/s1920/lucid-dreaming-min.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1281" data-original-width="1920" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-d_JMeb2RS_88LwYL-iW7P0rgwJZpCdiyrKnrpadaJP01Qi_BNPqpN_TKwwX4MSqjZ42lXLxzd2caj831lIar7p0f9N6LgTp6fwFGQNXe2kug4xPLbMMvpAPNeHWC8sWPWbZBo53r4YcUvtDd5KnGU3i4PztyftVobM4e3dcwTN0hBzPk3wE7OqMjiM/w400-h268/lucid-dreaming-min.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This morning I had a very lucid, albeit unsettling dream. As anyone who still follows my blog knows, I have been trying to find a way to sell my mom'</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">s house for her so that she may have money to live on since it no longer possible for her to live alone anymore.</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Before I woke up, I dreamt that I was in my mom's house with the realtor and we were discussing what needs to be done when all of the sudden I saw my mom's last dog she lost about a year ago. Surprised, I said to the dog, "What are you doing here?" Then, two of my mom's other dogs and her only cat that passed away years back walked past us. I bent down to pet one of the dogs and I could actually "feel" the dog's fur on my hand. I turned to the realtor and said, "Do <u>you</u> see that?" </span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As I turned my head toward my mom's kitchen, I saw my beloved Dad standing there wearing a long gray coat. I ran up to him and hugged him and told him I loved him. I remember he just stood there and said nothing. Then I woke up. And that was the end of my dream.</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">What did it mean? What made me dream something like this? Guilt because I need to try to sell the house my father built with his own hands- not to mention the childhood memories of a house I grew up in. Or, was it merely the result of an overwhelmed mind? </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HA2LTXOUMzM" width="320" youtube-src-id="HA2LTXOUMzM"></iframe></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13796460571657156516noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310700715747991260.post-85614595265131130292023-09-04T15:46:00.024-07:002023-09-04T20:13:08.120-07:00What's new<p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Greetings, friends! Well, last evening after we returned home from our family shrimp bake, I noticed that I could not get my laptop to charge. Apparently our cat Teddy found it necessary to chew up my ASUS charger cord! My husband has ordered another one for me which is supposed to arrive in the mail this coming Friday. After a lot of frustration, I was finally able to sign into my other laptop, BUT I am not able to sign onto my Yahoo email for some reason. And, I can not change my password because you need to be able to retrieve a "code" in order to do that. (sigh). In the meantime. I still can not access anyone's blog to read and leave comments. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJgJ1t6e1Eegk7t_8TeN2lkYIPW2OU1jTXrpLHbUHonH7rUZbTY-303ShalqZezvCqula57jGWXbWQY55xrwCHkfqI4j8297HOKVIr_v14MIHbnJKFmz07hfsjawzsnFCzuQcTb6mBDd6q08O4Ef9QXeHj-e6Kaom4SEITXFJXRtFdWdyX5S70pkGcct4/s3243/DSC01385.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2163" data-original-width="3243" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJgJ1t6e1Eegk7t_8TeN2lkYIPW2OU1jTXrpLHbUHonH7rUZbTY-303ShalqZezvCqula57jGWXbWQY55xrwCHkfqI4j8297HOKVIr_v14MIHbnJKFmz07hfsjawzsnFCzuQcTb6mBDd6q08O4Ef9QXeHj-e6Kaom4SEITXFJXRtFdWdyX5S70pkGcct4/w400-h266/DSC01385.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Moving on, there was a last minute change of plans and we did not have to move my mom into Rittenhouse after all. After hearing the news that my mom was set to leave Mifflin Court last Friday, the Marketing & Admissions Director called me on the phone and said that she hated to see my mom leave and asked me if I would agree to let her stay if she could get authorization to match what my mom would be paying for rent at Rittenhouse? I emailed the financial info to her and she in turn immediately forwarded it to her superior. The next morning she contacted me again and said she had gotten the permission to match Rittenhouse and my mom would be paying 2k less a month. In addition, my mom would still be getting the same "perks" she had been at the higher rent price. And her transports for doctor appointments are free.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyhByBZu4B5FaRACK10_IUHMaNOOMuu3MVV5gVFQ3Zh0qBBFyhDCAhdOA9GzWbM39xnCyWCxg02uf2AUNLeVzMYDYaxuLiJ4nG8CN3rydmZdAUeIlo1hyxPOxFlWSon5SvzUXObESs34-2JClb3O1LpgA9qmpw1Cfd1rTxQd95qreEGhwRAeDHtT-W-ks/s934/1700346433c061b43e381edba9e07c33.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="934" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyhByBZu4B5FaRACK10_IUHMaNOOMuu3MVV5gVFQ3Zh0qBBFyhDCAhdOA9GzWbM39xnCyWCxg02uf2AUNLeVzMYDYaxuLiJ4nG8CN3rydmZdAUeIlo1hyxPOxFlWSon5SvzUXObESs34-2JClb3O1LpgA9qmpw1Cfd1rTxQd95qreEGhwRAeDHtT-W-ks/w640-h426/1700346433c061b43e381edba9e07c33.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">After, going over the rest of the services she would have been paying for PLUS fees at Rittenhouse, my husband and I felt that we made the right decision. First of all, my mom's house is nowhere near ready to hit the market yet (still working on details) and we would have had to set up a telephone line with Verizon at Rittenhouse in addition to the active line at her house as my mom can not use a cell phone because she only has use of her one hand and arm. Therefore, she would be paying about $100 per month for two lines as apposed to the land line that is already included in her room and she only pays $1 per day ($30.00/month) to have it. And, on top of her rent at Rittenhouse she would also be paying extra for what they call Level of Care of which there are 7! Mifflin Court's rent includes the level of care (aides, nurses). Level 1 would have been $275.00 more and there was a big jump for Level 2 at $490.00 and so on.</span><p></p>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13796460571657156516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310700715747991260.post-44192928637679438192023-09-03T17:39:00.013-07:002023-09-03T19:20:16.087-07:00Weekend happenings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It's Labor Day weekend and I am off until Tuesday for the holiday.

Well, one step at a time so I am told. Last Thursday, I met the nurse from Rittenhouse at Mifflin Court who was assigned to assess my mom's level of care. Surprisingly, it went fairly well as she is what they consider a Level 1 - meaning she needs the least amount of care. The level of care is added to her monthly rent plus some extra fees 😲. I am currently in contact with Trish from Rittenhouse as to what the month-to-month rent will be after her first time one month's rent (in September) of $99.00; however, it is estimated to be $2K less than she is paying now at Mifflin Court. After spending about an hour speaking with Trish, I was rather surprised that Rittenhouse offers a bit more in the monthly rent than Mifflin Court does. Mifflin Court is a very nice facility, but they are far too expensive. As my mom's P.O.A. I am trying to get more "bang for her buck" so to speak. </span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">This past week, I have been in contact with both Rittenhouse and Mifflin Court as to what I need to do as far as getting my mom transported to Rittenhouse as her last paid up day at Mifflin Court will be August 31st. Unfortunately, just as is the case with Mifflin Court, I will have to pick her up myself and take her Rittenhouse since they only have one driver who is responsible for transporting residents to their weekly doctor appointments. My husband will be taking a 1/2 PTO day on September 1st in order to help me transport my mom from Mifflin Court to Rittenhouse because she is not very stable and I do not think that I can handle her all by myself. </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I can not take another FMLA day from work until September 1st regardless.</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">And on top of dealing with all of that BS, I am still trying to get the ball rolling on selling my mom's house for her - against her will, of course, but I see little choice at this point.

Ironically, Barry's first big hit was "Mandy" - a song which he did not actually write himself but rather was asked to sing by record producer, Clive Davis. The song was originally titled, "Brandy" and Barry not only changed the title, but had written his own arrangement of this song - GREATLY improving a very memorable song. I have included the original version by Scott English which in comparison to Barry's is , IMO, sub par.

However, I have been so overwhelmed with both her problems and my own, that I had little chance to do much else this week. So, today I bought her these handcrafted roses with pretty pink vase at The Mint Leaf and my friend Deb and I went to Mifflin Court to visit her in her new room.

Deb, was kind enough to take a "dry run" with me to Rittenhouse" this afternoon as I need to be sure that I do not get lost or take a wrong turn this Tuesday for my tour.

Well, it has been quite a week. First of all, I only worked two days this week in order to take my car into the garage on Wednesday because it was giving me a hard time starting up. Yesterday, I called them and they finally got to my car late in the day and said that it was a "blind spot" in my starter so they ordered a new one which arrived this morning. I picked my car up around 12:30 and the damage was $606.00! So, I ended up having to take three days of my unpaid FMLA this week due to my car problem.</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Also today, my mom finally moved into her second floor room where she will reside until at least August 31st. Next Tuesday, I am supposed to take a tour at Rittenhouse as I was told it was more affordable than Mifflin Court - we shall see. Either way, my mom's house will need to be sold SOON!</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Yesterday, my Recogneyes gift from work arrived in the mail - a pair of silver CZ Heart earrings ...</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpKDOtKVRIXkhr65KO_lajT61wjyl38xFi9eCgxqyB4Z1p54x1fW4k8Dg_mfMAPbdJU8ZeATyPbSMNPkg9PFA7Ndw-c6swFi3j2QTD3u3OsietQBwmP_LWbZNOOnAx5C0i0mz5ne7by_yJIwyeBJ9YgvkOYxZ8fXSiigFemPgLEA8XLDXpnIhn1NV62c/s5472/DSC01046.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="5472" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpKDOtKVRIXkhr65KO_lajT61wjyl38xFi9eCgxqyB4Z1p54x1fW4k8Dg_mfMAPbdJU8ZeATyPbSMNPkg9PFA7Ndw-c6swFi3j2QTD3u3OsietQBwmP_LWbZNOOnAx5C0i0mz5ne7by_yJIwyeBJ9YgvkOYxZ8fXSiigFemPgLEA8XLDXpnIhn1NV62c/w640-h426/DSC01046.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELyOfaMvkuMUKoDb7fKxoSWzOAtkwfhXvZ1CknXSmpIJVN9KlGclkgFSSJwB70bgcKKvaML0c3iXsRtLqPe3w2BeHLmseFh1-Lf9U8jdik-274G7RtpAjZ4j52_qumeJv-MESFAb-_--tG9s2H8eEOXXqIwpIg-iN4q-g0fHybS0rYBvVACw3xftS_7o/s5472/DSC01054.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="5472" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELyOfaMvkuMUKoDb7fKxoSWzOAtkwfhXvZ1CknXSmpIJVN9KlGclkgFSSJwB70bgcKKvaML0c3iXsRtLqPe3w2BeHLmseFh1-Lf9U8jdik-274G7RtpAjZ4j52_qumeJv-MESFAb-_--tG9s2H8eEOXXqIwpIg-iN4q-g0fHybS0rYBvVACw3xftS_7o/w640-h426/DSC01054.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvENdWfg-0OfLyJOrLcce5ETPN9m2sq6j7ksyQZr03j4jdVz_LuIYxlvisSVBhLUehxS7hKiXiOntdqkjhCCzYK-cEn7oK-KI7VkdVKdwfdmzWURO2jefegeEFL9JtpLO9SMP7R50tGXqbXHxOGvM2g9xPLJJc6O66vU0PxdBj6dH00lUBXOalZUKQ8_g/s1551/DSC01064ab.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1551" data-original-width="1100" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvENdWfg-0OfLyJOrLcce5ETPN9m2sq6j7ksyQZr03j4jdVz_LuIYxlvisSVBhLUehxS7hKiXiOntdqkjhCCzYK-cEn7oK-KI7VkdVKdwfdmzWURO2jefegeEFL9JtpLO9SMP7R50tGXqbXHxOGvM2g9xPLJJc6O66vU0PxdBj6dH00lUBXOalZUKQ8_g/w284-h400/DSC01064ab.jpg" width="284" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">While poking around on Amazon, I saw these really cute Halloween tops/dresses.
