AN EMOTIONAL, DIFFICULT DAY
This morning I went to my egg class. It was so upsetting. My teacher has been getting frailer by the minute and was in pain because of her back. She was walking stooped over. The class probably should have been cancelled.
Anyhow I settled down to do some work. Another woman was there. She has been friends with the teacher for a very long time.
The teacher was off the wall. She talked but didn’t always make sense. She usually prepares lunch. She had barely nothing today. The table which was usually set to perfection was upside down – not enough cups and saucers, too many small plates for one person etc. It was also very hot. I asked her to put on the air but she didn’t. I finally just packed up all my stuff and left. The other woman wanted me to stay but I was getting too upset. I don’t care about the lunch or the money I pay her. I just coudln’t stand the heat and the fact that she was not making sense. At one point she went into her bedroom and we heard her talking. I went to peek around the corner. She was sitting on her bed, looking at the paper and talking to herself.
I called my friend who also attends the class but is out of town. I told her what was going on and that I probably won’t go back next week. She will call the other woman who was there today and see what she says.
I feel very bad about my teacher but I already went through Alzheimers with my mother and I know there is more to come so I definitely do not want to stick around with someone I barely know.
I came home upset only to find out that my SIL was stopping by. WHAT??? The house is being painted. There is no where to sit. I wanted to pretend to be sleeping as hubby told her I wasn’t home. In the end I answered the door and we talked for a while in the doorway. I just wasn’t in the mood and it couldn’t have come at a worse time.
The men are here changing the water heater but there will NOT be hot water for two and a half hours. We are going to play bridge so it will be another sponge bath maybe with wet ones and then out for supper.
Tomorrow will be better for sure. Bowling in the morning and then putting everything back because the painter is finished. My house is SO CLEAN!!!!!!!
My daughter finally found a condo in Fort Lauderdale. The rent is about the same as her old place. YIPPEE!
So off I go to maybe read some entries and then I’m outta here.
I don’t like people stopping by unannounced, and I’d have pretended to be sleeping, for sure! hugs, Weesprite

How very sad about your teacher. A good hot bath might make you feel better.

I greatly dislike it when people “stop by” without calling first. How frustrating. The egg thing was a joy for you, so I hate to hear that you might not be going back. Of course, I completely understand, though. Before you said the woman had Alzheimer’s, I thought maybe she was having a stroke or something. Thinking of you. And, stay cool! =)

I really do not mind of people stop by but it is the polite thing to do to call first just to be sure there is a place to sit 😉 Sorry about your teacher. Sounds like she is losing her cookies.
