Fucking hell

Oh god - I'm dying. The old lady didn't change her diaper last night so she peed all over the bed. Whole back half of the house smells. She shoved kleenex into her diaper so there are wet blobs of paper all over the floor. I've got to go put on gloves and shoes and clean that mess.

Dinner out

So we've been making Nana drink more water which means she is a little more cognitive at times. We went out to dinner at our Chinese place and the table we ended up sitting at had one of the big lazy Susan's in the middle. Now Nana doesn't wash her hands so if we're out somewhere we don't let her touch the communal things/serve herself. Throughout dinner dad is sitting right next to her trying to stop her from grabbing the spoons to serve herself and flat out eating off of the serving plates. She keeps asking "why" and dad is very much "because I said so" and "I'm not going to embarrass you in the restaurant so I'll tell you later." Dad's just getting more and more fed up with her because she won't let it go. Finally dad says, "no one wants you to touch something they have to touch because you can't keep your fingers out of your nose or out of your pants," which is 100% true. We totally know her drinking water is making her more cognitive because she reaches out her gnarly fingers over the food saying "Oh I'll just sprinkle my germs all over everything," and it was very hard not to laugh. Water = brain working LOL I can tell dad is gonna lose it soon and I tell him, "Why don't you take the antique toddler home and we'll get boxes," and he happily left. Dad does not like her drinking more water because she actually can form thoughts but they're bitchy thoughts. Was hilariously frustrating.

Food issues

Tonight she threw away her dinner and then insisted that we didn't feed her.

Showering because you smell is important

Tonight was oh so much fun. Nana hadn't showered in a week. She smells from 5 feet away. She's been wearing the same diaper for 48 hours that's soaking wet. Trying to get her to get up out of her chair to take a shower is a fight. She told dad, in Spanish, to not let me tell her what to do. He called me into the other room, "Now you say what you said in Spanish that you didn't want Sara to hear," and she acted like she hadn't said anything. Dad reinforced that "Sara is in charge," and that neither of us care that I'm "mean." Too tired to write, will update more later.

"Give me something good"

Food obsessed Nana always says, "I want something GOOD to eat" after finishing her meal. Fucking insulting cunt. We've told her, COUNTLESS times, that she's saying what she just consumed "wasn't good," and that it's insulting. She always tries to justify herself, that what she meant was she wants dessert, but after a year of her using that damn phrase we're feed up with it.

I was hoping Anna was going to bring me something to eat

Nana only has two obsessions... food and picking at her lips. She always has her fingers in her mouth and she's always hungry even if she's just eaten and said she's full. Tonight dinner is closer to 7 than 6 and she's obsessing over it. She wanders into the dining room and starts to bitch at dad, "I was hoping Anna (her daughter) was coming over with dinner." In the year we've lived here Anna has visited TWICE and neither time has she brought food. Of course her and dad start to argue about her getting fed, and that she's never missed a meal and to stop acting like a victim because dinner is taking a while to cook.
