Thank you @Cleoriff
I read your post above off my phone early this morning
The care service my son and daughter-in-law put into place January 2025 are now pestering to come into my home without giving their name to me. I steadily asked twice and my weekday carer's supervisor refused to answer.
I will not answer my door to anyone in that position who chooses not to give me their name.
They have a score of 2 out of 10 when I checked them out.
Their CS are very good but lack of communication / co-ordination between office / carers / me is woeful.
I had been only taking about 1 in 3 of my tablets and was tablet hoarding = no planned reason = just unorganized / very tired ....... & ....... not having breakfast = my tablets include some which have to be taken with food.
I have said before my dil is very high up in pharmacy / out with trauma unit once a week / on call to the hospital.
My son is concerned for me as is dil, but away up in Tyne & Wear ....... they need peace of mind = their words that I'm alright.
I don't pester dil nor my son ....... they have their own lives ... & ... are making memories.
My lad rings me when coming home from HO in Derby ....... I go up into the Stratosphere when he rings me about every 2/3 weeks or so.
I clearly remember you disclosing your career in nursing from cadet nursing onwards & upwards.
Your mum and dad must have been very proud of you & your husband and children.
I am going to say a Goodnight & Sleep Tight ....... ( I sleep when I'm tired & eat when I'm hungry )
My mom would say My Name sleeps herself better like a cat.
Just a Crazy Cat Lady ..... xxx

I did thank you @Cleoriff
No interruptions to go to the bathroom
No bad dreams
Had a light bite in kitchen followed by night-time tablets & drink of milk.
Woke up refreshed to greet my favourite carer
No unannounced supervisor with her
Have key safe outside, but purposely not activated it
Nice conversation together
am to email the care services
There are things they don't know eg SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder ....... need of good quality natural daylight. Not hanging around for unknown arrival time of carer. I asked for 9:30am when signing contract in late January 2025. Can be as late as 11:20am with no text message to let me know.
I was given 8:15am on Craft Group day = ridiculous.
Ah well = Another Day at the Office as it were.
