Kudos to him and those he works with, but the system(s) that creates homeless (whatever's) is still in existance, still cranking out disadvantaged people that will be exploited and in need of assistance - which only some will get. So while a portion of me likes news like this, another portion is screaming that this project will house only 77 veterans out of 40,000 homeless vets (both figures from the article) and help several hundred more in other ways. That means it will help a fraction of a % of the people needing it. To me it reveals how little is actually being done to help them. Full disclosure: i have a step brother who was homeless by choice and has been working this end of the homeless plight for 40 years.

Since I can actually see a year pass and we need a date to make it official might as well use the system the local banks do. That way we all wish each other a happy new year and bitch about remembering to write a new year during the same part of the year instead of spread out over 12 months. It's a cultural bonding ritual thingie and much less annoying that way. But my actual, official year change is on my birthday, which is a handy way to celebrate the passing of every year *twice* instead of once. We humans are just so freaking clever.

Being with someone with dementia

1of5 comments on Dec 23, 2019:

I'm getting to deal with both my mom and stepdad's losing battle with dementia. It's hard dealing with the bad decisions, forgotten dates, fixing thier financials on a quarterly basis, worrying about them hurting themselves (again), dreading every call from them or the doctors office, and putting our lives on hold to care for them (We bought a house last week in a different town, and can't relocate so there it's gonna sit for awhile). But the worst part is eating with them. My stepdad can't eat a hamburger unless it's given to him complete. If its got the top bun off on the side so you can add condiments he doesn't realize it's a hamburger. We had corn on the cobb and hotdogs - he took the meat out of the bun, replaced it with the corn, added mustard and tried to eat it. He knows somethings wrong but not what. He's confused, afraid, and can't be left alone even though he wants and needs time to himself. Moms refused help in his care ("because I don't trust someone else to treat him with the dignity I know he deserves") and both are suffering horribly from her decision. Real conversation I had with her: "Mom, he's a 3 year old" "No dear, he's more like a 4 year old. He can speak in whole sentences" "Ok, 4 going on 3" Moms been exhibiting symptoms of dementia at an alarming rate the last 6 months. We're hoping it's stress related due to the fact that an 86 year old 105 pound woman is caring for an 86 year old toddler 24/7. But one last Xmas in thier house, then the proccess of getting them into a facility to care for him, and eventually her, begins (my stepdad has actually seen what moms been doing to both of them and is the one saying they need help and need to move. Finally). What really, really blows is how fucked up this is making thier lives. Once vibrant, active, members of the community they don't recognize people when we're out. Social situations they used to love they avoid because they can no longer handle the stimulation of a different environment and don't like the fact they don't "know" anyone there, even though some if them they've dealt with for decades. Fuck dementia.

Do I have resources, at least enough so I don't have to work and get to choose what I do with those years, or do I have to work? I gotta work, no thanks - waaaaaay to many things to do in this world besides work. A few, maybe couple hundred years would be fun, interesting, and allow me (us) to learn and experience a whole host of things which is kinda what life (for me) is about. What I don't want is to live to long, to the point that I'm waiting for death to find me.

I don't tell her what to shave and I get the same courtesy back from her. But a manitail? No thanks.
