Yay! It's (photo) Friday, what's on your menu?
Don't tell anybody but I carry a pack on me and double sided tape. Last year when we delivered thanksgiving dinners to people at our church I put eyes on the turkeys.

I was going to go on a rant about my Mother, but instead I will say kind things about my roommate. We dug out the portable A/C unit and got it running last night. It was a struggle we had to move multiple things to access the window that it is in and I was sweating by the time we finished. But I slept so well last night for me it was worth it. I'm one of those that has to have at least a wool blanket and a down comforter year round, so when the temp in the room is close to 80 I'm in a puddle of sweat. I only have the down comforter no wool blanket as it is in the storage unit somewhere. My roommate collapsed on the couch and was so cold he covered himself up in the night. Sammy slept well too, he waited until about 3AM to wake me up, and then again at 4AM.
My Mother has let these people into her life that take advantage of her, and it makes me so mad. They are her landscapers, the daughter of the owner has been using her shop for close to 5 years and has not paid her a dime. The landscapers over charge her, one of their sons and his new bride moved in with her for about 6 months. Supposedly they paid rent but I'm not sure if they actually did. And now they have another couple that they want to move in with her. These people have designs on her house, they want it and I'm not sure if this is a way they think that they can get it. I kept trying to tell her these people are not your friends they are taking advantage of you. The one that has the shop uses it for her business so she obviously has money, but doesn't pay her for its use. The owners of the landscape business at various times they have stored their possessions in her garage when they were remodeling, stored a car and a truck canopy and I think only once did she get paid.
I tried to remind her of all of the things that she hated when that other couple lived there, but she conveniently doesn't remember them. I know she is lonely but a young married couple is not company for an 87 year old woman. I was so angry that I hung up on her. I'm trying to get my brother involved but not sure that he will be any help. I'm tempted to go to Aging and Disability Services to see what they could do to assist. My roommate thinks that I should go to administrator of her Drs office and talk to them about her mental state and the possibility having her declared incompetent. That is a rough road, and I'm not sure that I want to take it. I really hate to see her getting taken advantage of.
Any prayers or advice would be appreciated. I lose it when it comes to protecting my Mother, I turn into the Mama Bear protecting it's young. I don't know why it sets me off so much, it just does.
It's Friday and I've got tons of work to do. We had VPN issues for 2 days so I need to make up the time and get some stuff done. Have a great day everyone!
