Just letting everyone know they still don't have the sewer pipe fixed at

's so he is again at a motel but it is a different one. Last night and the

night before he almost froze cause it was so cold in the room, so the landlady

called the Day's Inn and put him and the people upstairs in it, it costs her 80$

per room per night there but they get a conniental breakfast, and the city has

to put the pipe from the house to the road in tomorrow they guarantee it will be

done tomorrow by noon. The landlord and I almost met heads today though she was

saying 'people like , ones with mental health issues, should be put away

and locked up and kept safe, for their own good,' I didn't blow or comment but

when I what she doesn't know is I also have bi-polar so when I was at

Alternatives this morning I got some contacts. I found someone that will go into

Rob's place probably every other week but for the first little while every week

to help clean for him as he does need help, he isn't able to do the proper

cleaning due to lack of mobility and cannot get on his knees to scrub out

anything, and we have Community worker coming on Friday to see if they can help

with daily living skills such as meal planning and getting food. The person that

is going to do the cleaning will cost him 20$ per time but it will be worth it

if she can help him cause the landlady can be very nasty and doesn't understand

his handicaps and he can do simple meals as long as he has instructions but he

needs everything written down and a list on what to get he doesn't have much

money for food budget but he can manage with some help and the free meals. I was

a little angry at the landlord but I did keep my temper and will keep my cool

and explained to her that when she called home care she should have had them

call me instead of calling like they did last week because it got his

temper up and he refused help I explained to him that he could use the help due

to unable to due it due to needing his knees operated on as he is on the waiting

list for the surgery and can do it without putting him down like she did.
