Nothing today has gone the way I planned it.  So what else is new?

My helper called at 8:40 AM to tell me that she would not be able to make it here this afternoon.  She said that she had notified her company of this and that they were going to send someone else.   That is just as well since I am becoming fed up with my helper.  Last night she told me that I did not have much food left in a refrigerator and freezer.  Since that time, I have had four people look in those places, and each one has said that there is "tons" of food remaining.  When I got up this morning my CNAs looked in the refrigerator and found a pot and pan -- each filled with food -- not covered with lids or anything for protection.  She is getting to be as bad as the person I had before her.  This is not a good omen.

I had planned to go downtown with my sister today for a book signing by one of my favorite authors.  With all of the stress I have been undergoing this week, I managed to completely forget about it.  My sister said she understood.

Since I am having a substitute helper tonight I have decided to let her do four of the main things that the other one has been putting off.  If she does a good job of this, my mood should improve quite a bit.
