Boundaries-get it together.

6/4/2025 So idoa has left with the signed paperwork to change healthcare agencies. i was so eager for it to get done i rushed mom into signing the papers without reading. usually representative will go the forms this represented didnt. i would sound stupid to ask revealing i didnt read the paperwork.  some poa am i.  i witnessed the rep take of photo of my moms bsnk statements, state id, and ss card but didnt at least take a photo of the signed documtnts. how stupid of me? the irony here is that i scutinize tonjah before loaning her money for car repair but not the idoa reprep.  at times i feel mentally drained when it comes to mom. at times i tend to run out  energy and interests.  now her grandson dough has called annoucing his arrival to visit her, that was 20 minutes ago. i must coach myself into allowing this. nothing wrong with him wanting to visit his granny, its just id prefer a scheduled  visit nothing spontaneous. so out of inconvenience mom was m...

  5/2025 and counting No Bullet Proof Glass! and ree,ber to provide the parking lot video Upon returning to the Chi from Lake County, I was face with the Cook County Bag tax that was implemented 2017. Chicago businesses would charge .07 per shopping bag upon check out. The policy is to promote reusable bags that could maintain or improve the environment.  Having no car, I have been one who has kept my travel local. I frequent Family Dollar, Dollar tree, City Trends, and the Beauty Supply stores.   So, upon check-out at the Dollar Tree I am asked, "You wanna Bag?" "Hmm, what, the bag doesn't come with the merchandise?" She did a hard sigh due to having to explain this new policy for the 1000th time.    "There's the cost of a bag is 7-cents."    "You don't say?"  anyway, after hearing this question being pose after every purchase one would become nnoyed to start bringing their own bag. and if your looking to save money - that 7 cents be...
