Day 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 of Sheltering In

Asking for prayers for my daughter’s boyfriend. He has pneumonia. She feels like he’s not telling her everything.🤷🏻‍♀️He did fly to his dad’s and back just at the start of sheltering in. 

Thursday and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

Thursday ran errands and did a porch drop at my daughter’s group home. The new staff that was there was whack. They wouldn’t let me porch drop, insisted on coming to my car to take the bags. I had my son take them out and put them on the driveway. They would not let me give her a small bucket so she can hand wash her masks at night, and for presoaking. She had a little larger bucket and brought it here for some reason. Wtfork? Why can’t she have a bucket? Do they think she would drown herself? Seriously? There is a kitchen and bathroom sink, and a tub. No need for a bucket if that were the case. After I left my daughter said they sprayed Lysol heavily on and in the grocery bags. Wtfork. The FDA advises that is not necessary. Their regular team lead has been MIA. I’m sure it’s because of homeschooling her kids. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Saturday I went to Walmart. My wife needed shorts. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I bought her shorts. I also went to the Bodega for veggies and bought ingredients for tabuleh, and salad. Need to start eating healthy. During this lockdown I noticed I’ve been craving carbs, and it’s got to stop, because I’m not just craving them, I’m eating them. I also gassed up the Buick. $1.769/gallon when I was by the Bodega. It’s been $1.999 where I live.

Saturday my brother in law came to mow the lawn. He had f’d up MY 2 walk behind mowers. They need the filters cleaned or replaced and no one will do it. I’m not paying a lawnmower repair guy to do it, so I’ll be doing it this week. Don’t listen to ME, I took care of the lawn by myself before my car accident. Last year I told him it needed to be done and I was ignored. He came back Sunday with his mower and spent almost 5 hours mowing the front, side, and backyard. Yes, FIVE HOURS! I stayed in the master bedroom all day Sunday, and I made sure I came back Saturday after he left. I did not want to get into it with Mr. Knowitall. I’m not the stupid woman he thinks all women are. I know how to properly take care of my walk behind mowers because I researched it when I bought the first one when I lived in Chicago. What was he doing? Mowing my yards like a baseball field?  

Monday I did not feel well and literally slept all day. This sheltering in is exhausting! 🤣 

My daughter called the Asst Director to complain that her food continues to be stolen by nutjob and staff refuses to do anything. He told her to video her in the act. That’s brilliant! Let’s video nutjob who is out of control when she gets angry. Staff also told her to video nutjob when she refuses to do chores. Is my daughter being paid to be a videographer and is she getting hazard pay? I told my daughter to take video, but not point her phone at nutjob. Just get the audio. Get nutjob admitting to the food stealing and carrying on refusing to do chores. Pretend you are reading or playing a game on your phone. What exactly are they going to do with these videos? They have already not followed the guidelines they spelled out over 3 weeks ago about where nutjob gets transferred to if certain things happen. In the phone call the Asst Director said they couldn’t transfer nutjob because of the coronavirus. Well then, let’s continue to make all the other clients’ lives a living hell while nutjob is stealing tv remotes and my daughter’s food, screaming at clients telling them to do HER chores and spinning out of control like a whirling dervish! My daughter also pushed for getting a mini fridge. She had approval for this the last time we met with my daughter, wife, the Asst Director, and the previous director. Just before I bought it the team lead told my daughter no. No is not going to fly this time. I know for a fact that most of the other group homes allow clients to have them in their rooms. I know this because I know a current employee and a past team lead. Yes, I have intel.

My daughter is a very generous person and has shared her treats with all the clients in the house, including nutjob. But nutjob continues to steal anyway which frustrates my daughter because ingredients for meals she wants to prepare are stolen. My daughter plans her meals and asks me for specific ingredients that staff refuse to get on shopping trips. They don’t refuse because the items are expensive. They refuse because they are asshats. I have continually had to complain to the Asst Director and Director that staff isn’t purchasing fresh or frozen fruits and veggies. And I know damn well that food stamp (link) fraud continues because there is never enough money on the client’s link cards to last for the month. The fraud is staff purchasing items for their personal homes. I know by the amount of food that gets purchased, and because of intel from current and former employees. There are so many reasons I can’t wait for my daughter to get into an apartment, and this is one of them. When my daughter is in an apartment she alone will use her link card and budget her grocery purchases.
