Yesterday 4th Oct 2015

I woke up at 9.15am – A ‘long’ lie in for me today – How lucky am I……

I began working on my DIY project. I fixed the hole in the plasterboard, which I accidentally made yesterday, and I began fixing the shelves, I had major problems using the drill as the screws did not want to go in hmmmmmm! what a pain. I stood back and looked at the shelves and I had to think about other ways in which I could have constructed the shelves. I had completed too much to start again. I decided that I needed glue – this would do the trick and anything that wobbled would be fixed on with glue. I was hoping that this would work and the shelves would stay upright – probably not! I am thinking that when I have the money I will buy one of those pre-made shelving units and that this will save me a whole lot of bother. I am hoping that my pre-made shelves will last until then.

My sister leaves early today, she leaves at 10am, as she has something on today at her own home. Her head is still sore, but she thinks that it is beginning to get better. That is good!

I finish off what I am doing with my DIY project and then I put all my tools away. I need to let the glue dry before I do anymore – “thank god”, I am thinking – “an excuse to stop”…..

I walk my mum around the house and then I give everyone their lunch. I iron everyone’s clothes and then begin cleaning out my cupboards.

I changed my mums pad and then we had our dinner.

The carer arrives and we wash my mum and we put her pjs on. We sit my mum in her chair in the livingroom. I spend sometime sorting out my paperwork and attempting to download Windows 10 (total failure), it never worked. I decided to wait until Monday and call the Microsoft help line.

I walk my mum through to her bedroom and then I began the task of putting her to bed. I brush her teeth and then I put my mum’s television on – she looks happy and content.

I then began to sort out all my studying material. It is getting near that time where I have to start studying. I want to be able to go into my next placement with all the relevant knowledge in my head – this will most certainly make it easier for me.

I check on my mum and she is sound asleep. I put off her television and her light. I brush my teeth and go to bed.
