The Walker Demolition Derby

 I'm up early coz I gotta get Kids to Work before 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. respectively, then drink 32 oz. of Water and NOT Pee, to be ready for my Ultrasound {Which I Pray is done 1st}, and then my Titty Squash Mammo {Which I Hope is done 2nd and after being then allowed to Pee, Smiles}.  Busy Morning, The Daughter will be here for her Dad and Nurse Remi's Visit.  The Master Bathroom Toilet is still plugged up from whatever The Man did to it, and can't be used, so I may have to either buy another Toilet Snake to unplug it myself, or Hire a damned Plumber to, dammit!  The Man got up early and was crashing around with his Walker, I swear he deliberately aggressively crashes into things with it to get my attention and be yelled at about it?!  *LOL and an Eye Roll*  He rams it into things rather than gently trying to maneuver it around furniture, doors, people, he's a menace with that damned thing!  I Promised him if he crashes into ME with it, I'm laying Hands on him!  *LOL and Winks*

I also Warn him, if you start breaking or damaging things with it, after already putting One Toilet out of commission in a Household with Seven People needing access to use a Bathroom, I'm wrapping that Walker around your Head, I swear to God!!!   He actually thinks I'd do it and it's not an idle hyperbolic Threat, so then he more calmly pushes it around and not so aggressively. *Smiles*  But, every single time he is like a Demolition Derby Driver with the damned thing!  And every single time we have that exchange when I've had enough of hearing him crashing into everything with it and mumbling swear Words under his Breath.  I know he doesn't like having to adjust to using his Medical Equipment and being careful becoz now he has to when you've got Walkers, Wheelchairs, Electric Scooters you have to use.  The Electric Scooter People are the WORST demographic ever, so I won't allow him to use one lest he commit a Vehicular Homicide with it!  Oh how I Love that Man! *LOL and Winks*

I've had Electric Scooter People get mean, aggressive, entitled, rude and dangerous with their Equipment and almost run me over, try or threaten to! Oh, Hell to the No, I will confront them about it just as aggressively as they're driving that damned thing and being a menace with it to Pedestrians!!!  Hit me with it and we'll definitely have us a Situation.  I will push your Ass right off of it and you best be able to then Walk coz I'll destroy that thing right in front of you in Real Time.  Then let the Police sort out whose getting Arrested, you for running me over and abusive use of a Motorized Vehicle, or me for protecting myself from you misusing your Scooter and ramming into or running over Pedestrians?  *Winks*  Even the most aggressive and confrontational Scooter user will usually then back that thing up and throw it into reverse when confronted with an Angry Crazy Pedestrian they just tried to foolishly run over or bully becoz they assume they have the right of way, no Pedestrians do when you're in a Vehicle and it's frowned upon to run them over!  *Winks*

The Man can't be trusted not to ram folks with his damned Walker, no way I'd put him in charge of a Motorized Vehicle of any kind with how aggressive the Dementia has now made him at times!  *LOL and Eye Roll*  He's pissy this Morning coz he knows I've got back to back Appointments and one of the Kids will be in Charge of him again.  Tho' The Daughter can Handle him better than her Brother, she's good with Finessing Old People, and especially Old Cranky Bastards who can be difficult and very unlovely.  She's dealt with Old Cartel Bosses she Cared for in Mexico and wasn't the least bit Intimidated, and she made them Behave, so no way her Dad is Intimidating her one iota.  *LOL and Winks*  She's a Trip and her Dad knows it, so I probably won't be getting any Phone Calls from Home about him Acting Up and not Behaving while I'm gone.  *Bwahahaha*  He just crashed around with his Walker 'til I gave him the Stink Eye and then he went back to Bed and fell fast Asleep to avoid me going Dark Dawn on his Ass.  So, the Walker Demolition Derby ceased and desisted.  *Snort*

On the way to Work Princess T looked up Drain Snakes for me to see how much they cost, coz I need to get to "Lowe's" anyway to buy a new Rake {next door took ours and swore they loaned it to us and they hadn't, I'd bought it}, and a new Garden Hose for the Front Yard too.  Even the "Lifetime" Garden Hoses in this Climate deteriorate in a Season. I'm not fussing about the Rake with the Neighbors, they have loaned us Tools before and Honestly seem to Believe the Rake was loaned coz they apparently had one just like it that they can't find now.  So, The Man told the Kiddos to Write our Name with Markers on the Handles of anything we do Yardwork with that's ours and keep it in the RV Garage Mahal rather than just beside it.  Where Rob or TJ often come over and then think, oh, we loaned that and need it back now... then we have this dilemma. 

 They're Old Men and The Man often thinks things are his that aren't now, so, we extend some Grace that our Old Guy Neighbors genuinely assume they left something over here they loaned and need back.   It's no Big Deal to me coz our Neighbors have often loaned me expensive equipment to borrow and use so I don't have to buy something I might only need a couple times.  They are very generous people and what's One Rake misidentified as theirs?   The Son, due to his Autism, is more like a Dog with a Bone about it and Fixating on the Rake Situation.  So his Sister has gone Twice now and taken the Rake Back, to shut her Brother up about it, only to have Rob or TJ come over and think she just borrowed it again, so... it's just easier to buy another one, mebbe in a different Color Handle?  *Ha ha ha*  I'm not getting worked up and doing a Hatfield-McCoy over a fucking Rake with Good Neighbors I Like and have been great at being Neighborly, Helpful and nothing but Kind.

The Daughter was teasing me about the plugged up Toilet, that there is a Solution for FREE... and saying I could get it Fixed... coz... you know... Allen is here hiding out in The Young Prince's Space now they lost the Hotel Room and wanna just be Friends With Benefits.  And... or... she could call Mando.   And we both started raucous Laughter, coz I knew she was busting my Chops with inappropriate Humor, coz we're both Sic like that.  *Bwahahahaha*  And I've had my Come To Jesus Meltdown Psycho Dark Dawn Moments with both Allen and Mando.   So they haven't dared to even be in my Presence after meeting Dark Dawn up close and personal just the One time.  They both are pretty sure now that I could be a full blown Psychopath when angered, and, they could be Right?!  And that suits me just fine coz they each foolishly stepped in my Waters and certainly weren't strong enuf Swimmers to venture into that Lane and not stay in theirs!!!   And they're both Crazy as Mad Hatters, so I wasn't having it, we're all stocked up on Crazy here.  *Winks and Laughs*

Anyway, there's a 4th thing I need at "Lowe's" and I forgot to put it on the List so now I don't recall what it was... dammit!  I really require Post-It Notes now to remember Shopping Lists even if it's just 3-4 things.  Mebbe I won't do so well on my 3 things to remember Old Person Eval next time, I dunno?  *Bwahahahaha*  Sometimes I'm trying so hard to recall the 3 things they told me to remember, that I can't then Focus on what else they have you do 'til you get back to it, ADHD be like that too, not just Old Age.  *Ha ha ha*   Let's just sit here quietly in Silence until you need me to recall, and then ask me, it will work better.  If you fucking distract me with more Questions or chit-chat, I sure as Hell then will completely erase what we talked about 5 Minutes ago and you told me to Remember!   And Honestly, do we REALLY NEED to remember what we Thought or Talked about even 5 Minutes ago?  That's Ancient History to me now, Tick-Tock... the Clock is running out on us Old People.  Keep it Moving.  We're Wasting whatever Future I might still have left?!   *Winks*

The Man never remembers his 3 Words, he'll Question whether you even gave him his 3 Words.   Or just blurt out 3 random Words that pop into his poor damaged Brain and swear they were his Words!   Then he'll get Cranky with you coz he's making things up now as he goes along and if you're not in that Realm of Alternate Reality with him, the Battle is now ON!  *LOL*  I choose my Battles wisely so as not to get him agitated for trifles and for nothing.  It's too much of a Torment to him, and too much Drama for me, and he's not making any Big Life Altering Decisions anymore.  So I just leave him be to Imagine whatever he wants and Needs to, in order to stay Calm and Happier, he deserves it.  Why disrupt his Calm about something that doesn't even really matter?   When I see he's really upset about Nothing now and he doesn't even know why he's upset, I'll ask him what might make him Feel Better?  Usually it's something Simple that will easily distract and Mood Regulate him to a better Space Emotionally.  Yesterday it was a Blizzard Shake from "Dairy Queen" at 9:00 p.m. and I got me one too.   Why not?  *Winks*

I think Allen's gone now and so my Petsitting gig for Tyson, the naughty this time Great-Grandpup, is Mercifully over.  Him getting out Twice scared me, Heaven Forbid if something had happened to him or we couldn't have Found him and it happened on my Watch!!!   I don't know why he was so undisciplined this time, he's usually a very obedient Dog, but, he's getting Old, so probably has Canine Memory Care Issues now, who knows?  He's Greying around his Muzzle and showing his Age when he Walks now, Bless him, Pit Bulls have a lot of Health Issues even when they're Younger.  His Pica seems better, he used to eat anything, so you have to do like with a Human Toddler and secure anything he might swallow.   His appetite was off this time I noticed, like Old People, his metabolism is clearly slowing down.  He used to eat a lot and now coaxing him to even eat his Treats sometimes was like trying to get The Man to eat something... some days being better than others.  He does like his Winnie The Pooh Dog Cookies tho'!   The Dog... not The Man. *Smiles*

I think this was a very good Visit for the Grandsons, and I'm glad about that, the more amicable their Relationship can be, the better.  I don't know how long before their Divorce will be finalized, but so long as Allen is putting Money in The Young Prince's Account and having Amazon Deliver Groceries for him, I don't Care so much.  We're waiting on The Grandson to be able to Hopefully Qualify for SSI Disability, we still have to help him fill out his mountain of Paperwork they sent him for it to get done by the 26th to be reviewed for Approval that he's Disabled Enough this time???  I don't know how much more Disabled you really hafta be, but with Budget Cuts to all Social Service Programs, any excuse to Deny Applicants is probably gonna only increase, and it was never good to begin with to get Approved even if you should have been Eligible and in dire Need just to Exist and Survive.  Frankly, they don't Care... how we're treating the most vulnerable of our Society is our actual Measure of "Greatness", when we cease to be GOOD, well, we've already then ceased to be GREAT.

*******

Keep hanging tough my Friends... chances are, we'll all Outlast him, he's not long for this Earth, that Devil of a Prez...Dawn... The Bohemian
