As client feels like CVS should pay for fixing her walker which she got past 2 years ago or more.

Client was already awake when I got there, sitting down on the edge of the bed said trying to do some cleaning, told me about a new burger place on El Cajon and I saw the ad, client now looking for some money but we can't find her wallet. I put dog out, then went back and tidied up the room but still can't find what she was looking for. Made her tea and gave morning med. Also told me the rye bread from Akins was no good so she wants it back on the bakery and called there and had talked to the employee named Christina and was told bring the bread back and she will give us a new bread. And she wants me to go to the new burger place for lunch but I decided to call first to ask for price as client might not regret sending me there when it was expensive. And if she not like it, in case, she's going to make me return the food on the store so I decided to call first. Learned the 9" sub is about $7.50 and there's some that's about $7.99. So I told the client and yeah, she said too much money. And so we agreed for Burger King as I have coupons still. We called her husband to asked for their granddaughter's number as she said granddaughter called her and asking for me to get cookies for her as well if I went to DZ Akin's. Got number and client called granddaughter who was sleeping, she was told she doesn't want anything fr. the bakery. I went to DZ Akin's with the rye bread and got Christina helped me, was about to give me another rye bread but asked her is I could get another kind instead, like hallah bread. And so I got the hallah bread, unsliced, I told her it was ok with me when she's about to get the sliced one. (I should have just said yes, later I realized I have to slice the bread myself and the knives aren't sharp.) Then went on Burger King and was there at 11:15, got 2 Whoppers (one is free) as I got coupon, then got 1 apple pie. Spent $5.38 with my card. Back to client's place almost 11:30, prepared lunch for her and we shared the apple pie. :) Gave her water for drink and doesn't want vege. when I asked her so she only had the Whopper sandwich and the half of the pie.

Then called client when I'm back on the parking lot and told her I got the items and was about to go to Food 4 Less, then she told me she called Food 4 Less and thinking of getting turkey instead of roast beef for a change, fruits, and small dessert. Also told me on the phone she was so mad and not thinking of sending the package for his son today as granddaughter called her and her son was on the background telling they paid $3 something more for the last package's postage. And that the package could just wait there until his son would go for a visit. Got inside the store and found different kinds of turkey's so I called client again, but she let me decided instead what I want to get, so I got the white turkey meat for over $3 instead of the one she was told about on the phone which was $6.  Got small cheesecake too and red, big grapes, used card and spent $9.34. Got to client 'bout 10 minutes or so before 10 am, client was sitting on the kitchen with the dog, waiting for me as the dog might need to go out and the "newly" discovered door can't be opened. Put dog out and showed client the 99 Cents items, specially the b'day card and she likes it. Made tea for client while she was looking at all the ads on the table. Didn't gave her medicine today as I noticed she already took the medicine that was sitting on the table on the small plate. ( I left that medicine for Thursday as I was OFF, but came in Friday and she didn't took the meds. but was in her room so I put it back on the kitchen.) I went on tiding up the kitchen and started shampooing the carpet after that. Done at 11:30 am so I went on making lunch for client: turkey sandwich, with a slice of cheesecake, and water for drink. Then client brought it on her room and decided to ate there. Said she wasn't really hungry when I was preparing the lunch but said it was so good and she ate the whole sandwich. :) Then went on telling me to send the bills to her son, for all the money I spent for her husband's items so her son could pay for it. Mailed the receipt along with client note and some mails. I also took photo of the receipt which is the "dates" I bought from Vons, Cheetos Puffs from 99 Cents, and Kmart for two $19.99 set of pajamas. I put 3 stamps in there. I left at 1:25 pm already, client in bed. And noticed the mailman had probably dropped by and got the mail as it wasn't there anymore :)

So that's why I have a missed call from her I thought to myself, but didn't have a voice message. Client told me about the notice of complaint she had read from the mail I had set on the kitchen table.  The date on the noticed was Sept. 19 and had a remarked of client has to call the selected agency number in there until Sept. 20, we hadn't found about the noticed until Sunday. I tried to call the number but was closed. Went to Subway and had tuna sandwich for lunch. Also got the dry dog food from Pet Market for $14, already with tax. Gave client her morning medicine too, made tea. And later gave the other medicine before I left. Both are for high blood pressure. Made baked potato for her and spinach. Got to Rite-Aide and got telephone cord, M & M's, Mrs. Field's cookies.

Sept. 25 (Tuesday) = Asked me to call the number again from the notice when I got in. Tried it but still closed but was open today starting 9:30 so I said I'll just call again at 9:30. Made coffee, put dog out, laundry, washed dishes and wipe some parts of the floor and cleaned the mess. Gave her morning medicine and gave coffee and then I tried and call the number again. Got hold of someone but said she can barely hear me so I said I'll try and call again. unplugged and put the new cord back, and called again. Got a hold of someone (another lady) and this time it was better as I didn't got hearing that I was barely heard. She asked me the name and address, spelled it. And when asking what best day someone can come I gave the phone to client and she talked to hear. Client handled me the phone back when was asked about the day of someone coming there. I said I'll be there tomorrow and Friday 9 - 1. And said someone is coming there either tomorrow or Friday between 11 to 1 pm. Went to Subway passed 10:30 and got oven roasted chicken and I paid for it with my card for $5.39. Client had it for lunch and made french fries, had water for drink.Gave her the other high blood pressure medicine before I left.

Then went to Popeyes and got Dip'n Chicken for lunch, read it from their ads for $3.99 with biscuit and fries. Got back before 11 am and made lunch ready. I re-heated the fries on the pan as it was cold and the biscuit on the toaster. The chicken pieces are cold too so I also re-heated it on the pan. Made spinach and brought it to client. Client noticed it was still cold so I asked her if she wanted me to reheat them, and agreed. Then later heared her from the kitchen that she wanted to return the Di'n Chicken instead. I went back to the room and confirmed it and returned the food on Popeyes and got a coupon instead of 2 pieces of chicken for $1.49. I then got it and got 1 apple pie for .99 cents. I still had some changes of $3 and something and kept it as I used my debit card to pay with the Dip N' Chicken.Got back and gave it to client for lunch, and half of the apple pie and water for drink.
