WEEKEND
Saturday it was rainy, windy and cold ! A real nice Monday weather. Fortunately it's warm everywhere and company I have too. I didn't like the activity this day, it was "artistic painting" ! I have participated once and that was enough for my whole life ! It was what Kindergarten kids paint, little lady bugs, flowers, bunnies etc. I stayed with Jeanine in her room and we chatted until coffee was served, from all participants only 5 had not stopped their "work" ! One said that she is too old to return to primary school. I think that was the last time we had a painting activity !Nobody went outside, it was again a lousy weather. My neighbors had celebrated I don't know what, they are a couple, he in a wheelchair and she walking, They only leave their room for lunch. Never together, they fight all the time. She kicks with her foot in the wheelchair to push him. The rest of the day they lay in bed and fight, I learn a lot of words which were not in my vocabulary. They drink the whole day and I see the bottles the next day standing on the floor outside their door. Usually 4 bottles of red wine and 4 bottle of a very strong beer. I couldn't find out why they are here, they are very unfriendly with the staff too. I have noticed that couples in one room doesn't work, they fight all the time and avoid each other whenever they can, even in the restaurant. From the 5 couples we have here, two fight all the time, two are well together and the third have found the ideal solution, they have one room each,live far apart, each going their own way, only eating or going out together on weekends. They both seem quite content with this arrangement. It's certainly better than lying in bed arguing all day, and get drunk !
Dear Ingrid, I have no artistic talent. I can understand how you and some others didn't find this activity interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour cat photos are beautiful and sweet.
The two tabby cats had me tearing up, my Lola was a tabby and died 17 days ago.
ReplyDeleteLying in bed all day drinking doesn't sound good. I didn't think that would be allowed.
That is a sad way for people to live, and in their final years.
ReplyDeleteAwww on the kitties and yikes on the fighting couples. What a shame that they are so miserable. Need to be apart from each other. I hear you on the painting. I'd pass too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to beautiful Rosie. ♥
I remember you! One of my two cats passed away last summer. But Hana remains. She has kidney disease. But is still a happy, loveable cat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need a professional painter/artsit to come and help you all with making a beautiful painting...to hang up in your room(s). I went to such a seesion where ia work, the artst had a painting, and she showed us how to do this or that thing, and make our own version of ut. It was of standing in a woods, and looking up at the bright sky above. I didn't think I could do it, but it turned out quite nicely...not like hers so much, though, LOL!
ReplyDeleteNice to see memories of your cats and Rosie, too.
I hope your weather improves! We have storms right now, but the past few days were very springlike.
My parents in their last days shared a suite, and though they didn't fight, my dad got upset with how my mother was at night, so we ended up putting them in separate room, and then they were together during the days. Sirry you have to witness these things...but you are kind to get help when it is needed for the others.
I hope our new staff will work out well, time will tell!
Hugs to you! 🥰
So sad that the arguing and fitting couples have to stay together. Maybe they could be moved for the other guests sake and sanity. Always lovely to see your cats out and about or lazing around.
