Made pasta for client for her dinner. Dog was outside on leased when he arrived, JR barked at him. Put dog inside on clients room and let client know Andrew was there. Wants me to make the guy leave but told client son wants the fence to be fix soon so neighbors has nothing to complain about. Andrew then called clients son about not being able to find the paint used on the wall. Told client about it. Talked about her calling Walmart and talking to a very nice lady who suggested her to take vitamins, vit. c and d combo. So I told her I could get it tomorrow on my way.

Got there and got the 2 original chicken sandwich for $4.99 and value fries without salt. Spent $6.03 with my card. Got back before 12 noon, and told client I'm gonna go and heat the fries. And she asked if I have been on BK already? And I said yes, I just got back and says she didn't know. Client had chicken sandwich, fries, steamed spinach and 1 mini chocolate cupcake for lunch and water for drink. Client feels sorry for the worker not having lunch and wants me to ask if he wants half of her sandwich. Gave worker the other sandwich and a bottled water.

Was talking about Milo's pizza but we decided on Burger King as she said there's also coupons from Burger King. Also wants me to go to Rite-Aid for lipsticks. She then wrote two checks, one for the $50 she wants to cash in as I asked her how am I going to pay for Burger King?! Then the 2nd check ($153.91) was for her payment for me for the money she owes me on groceries and lunches. Went to the bank first and got there about, maybe 11:15 or so and a new lady took cared of me. (first time I saw her and did business with her.) Deposited $494 and cashed in the two checks, asked for it on two different envelopes and got the deposit receipt. Then went to Burger King and got 2 chicken sandwiches and 2 small fries for $4.99 with a coupon. Then last stop was the Rite-Aid and looked for lipsticks on sale, called client from the store twice about the prices (buy 1 get 2nd one 50% off,) and she agreed. And then realizes I don't have my Rite-Aid Wellness card with me so called client the 2nd time to tell her. Told me to just leave the lipstick for the mean time and just get the Tums. Then was told on the counter my employee Helaine client called and wants me to get Oreo cookies, so I went on the aisle and was almost $5 each Oreo box and was 2 boxes inside. Called client about the price and changed her mind and I looked for something else cheaper, got 2 Mrs. Field's cookies instead which is $1 each. Paid by cash with clients money. Got back about almost 12 noon or past 12 noon and served lunch. Client had chicken sandwich, the Mrs. Field's cookie, steamed veges., and water for drink. Made her past so she can have some meal ready for later or dinner. Client falls asleep after lunch. Wake her up and gave blood pressure med. Told her I could just dropped by tomorrow in the office for her payment. Left at about 1:12 pm or so. (Used rental car, red.) ^-^' PAID: $153.91.
Jan 04 (Friday) = Arrived 9 am at client's home, awake, put the dog outside. Client still talking about her arthritis pain and problems about money and such. Came back after putting the dog outside and client was deeply asleep. So I just let her sleep. Was talk few words, halfly asleep and continued sleeping. Was talking about the furniture store and wanting to get the breakfast table, what's for lunch, dog terrible last night, etc. And wants me to go to Rite-Aid for the lipstick I was about to get yesterday, she called Rite-Aid to ask what's on sale. So she wrote a check for it and reminded her I also have to go to the office today for her payment. Then she also wrote a check for that to be ready. Decided to go to Great Wall Express for Chinese food and gave me $7. Went to Rite-Aid first at about past 11:35 am and got the two lipstick, Revlon, bath powder, and eyeliner. Spent about $26 and some cents, paid by client's check. Then went to Chinese food and got 3 combo and a Diet Coke for a drink. Got back past 12 noon and client awake. Asked me if I was that shiny, red car that passes by :) Said yes and it was a rental car. Served lunch: client had fried rice, orange chicken and chicken and beans and half of the medium drink Diet Coke. Enjoyed her lunch and says loves it. ^-^' Grand daughter called past 12 noon and client told me why, and wasn't happy about it. Got her worried about money again. Says grand daughter was asked by her mother to make the call to asked if client has enough money as daughter in law just wrote two checks for bills, wanting to know if client h as enough money to cover it before sending the checks. Client talked to me about it and how she feels and she called the bank to check her balances. Was relieved afterwards. Gave her blood pressure med. at past 1 pm. Was ready to go and told her I'm dropping by to the office for her payment and suggested I could just send it by mail. So I called the office and told them I'm just going to send clients payment on the mail. Put check on envelope and put one stamp and left it on the mailbox for mailman. :) Was tidying up kitchen and client went in there and chit chatted thou tv was turned on on vacant room for her favorite talk show. Left at already 1:35 pm.
(Called client about 8 pm or past 8 pm to asked her if she had called me as I had 2 private missed calls earlier.) Learned I had woke her up with my call but says ok, says she didn't made the call but her granddaughter, as she had called her too. Says granddaughter wanted to ask me something, and that it was a good call. :)
Jan. 05 (Saturday) = Can hear dog barking as I parked on the driveway. Backdoor was closed and so was the heavy wooden door but dog was in the kitchen, facing the door and barking. Let the dog out as soon as I got in. Heard the client yelling at the dog as dog barks. Went to the bedroom, client sitting on the edge of the bed. Says she wanted me to get beef bacon on Food 4 Less. I said I could go in there if she wanted me too, says it would be far so made me call Ralphs instead and ask if they have it. Called Ralphs and guy on the meat department says "he thinks they have it." Asked her if she wants tea but says no, not right now. She could just wait for me to come back. Gave me $20 to get the beef bacon, muffins, the cupcakes, and some tv dinners. Asked her is she wanted soda pop but says not. Arrived on Ralphs at 9:30 am and got all the items (beef bacon price was $5.99) and two pot pies ( one beef and one chicken) for .89 each with Ralphs card and one Michelina's for $1 with card. I don't have my Ralphs card with me as it was in the Nissan's key but tried to give both mom's number and landline but guy, Asian cashier says didn't went through. So he scanned new Ralphs card instead from his counter. Has a change of $3.75 which I gave to client when she wakes up (sleeping when I got back before 10 am.) Made her Lipton Mandarin/Orange tea and gave one corn muffin which she didn't really like (says fare,) after. Client fall asleep again. Did some laundry and drying and wiped the kitchen floor. Then started cooking: made sweet yam and steamed vege (cauliflower, carrot, and zucchini) for clients meal for dinner or for tomorrow, Sunday. Then cooked bacon for lunch and made another sandwich for her dinner or whenever she wanna eat it. Client had lunch at almost 12:15 pm, had beef bacon sandwich, and 1 chocolate cupcake and water for drink. Fall asleep again after lunch but wakes up sometimes. Gave client blood pressure med. about 15 minutes before 1 pm. Client sleeping again when I left at 1 pm but woke her up to let her know time for me to go.
NOTE: Asked me before I left if her granddaughter had told me to keep temp. to 76 as higher would result to high bill. But still wants the temp hotter as she was cold so I told her it was now on 84, (which I made to 83 before I left when she went back to sleep.)

Did the exchanged but the black robe is much expensive thou on sale. Used my card to pay fort he difference of $7.02. Called client before leaving the parking lot. Arrived to client's place about 10:16 or before 10:20 am. Client awake, sitting on the bed. Put dog outside. Showed the robe and sleep wear to client and told her and she saw it was long robe.
