It's been a most unusual season as most of you know. are. For me, it has been in the area of obtaining care to assist with my every day life. If you are new here, I was born with Spinal muscular atrophy and have used a wheelchair for about 40 years. As well, I have been a self manager of my Personal Care Attendants for twenty five plus years. My husband lives with a physical disability as well and he helps me wherever he can. Getting in and out of bed is one area I require the assistance of others. Hiring Attendants during a world wide pandemic has taught me some important things. Watch my below as I share my midnight thoughts...

Vlogging on this gorgeous cool to warm November morning after a late late Surprise Campout Night. Because Craig Took so long to get to his "campsite," I ended up editing and creating a couple new videos for my blogs and YouTube channel all night long.This morning vlog, spontaneous as always, discusses why it's been so long discussing some life challenges. No, nothing to do with covid. Surprised myself discussing some new goals after battling some physical and other life challenges. www.walkinhwayoverrated@blogspot.com www.heartfullycreating.blogspot.com
Yay, a Surprise Campout, and life vlog time. One ongoing, topic is the issue regarding hiring new personal care attendants because a regular one declares they will be leaving us for 2-4. weeks, once or twice a year. ever since her first year. The challenge of hiring new care givers has been unique to say the least. I share why we seem to keep hiring attendants with not much scrutiny. It, what happens when you foolishly let an employee breach the Employee Agreement protocols. You end up having annual and now biannual anxiety attacks, afraid of having no one to hire. Compromises get made and we end up not finding keepers.
Our model employee hired over 13 years ago, and who returned to help while we hire recently, knew every summer she had to go away for 2 weeks so the first year, so she respectfully resigned far in advance. Respecting her decision, because she understood she could not expect to hold the position due to the length of time asked off. Due to her decency and. honouring her employer's protocols, she ended up working for us for over ten years and I accepter her help when I was short staffed, so she was always. able to leave for 2 weeks every summer. It always worked out.
Thanks to God giving. me insight, it is all clear why these past few years have been so compromised and mega stressful with worry. Hiring where we live takes lead time and you want employees who respect an follow the protocols they agreed to in their Agreement. My fault for being to intimidated to be more star about chunks of time off when you are the only one or main one. Especially when employment had just began.

God knows and hears, sees all things. I am trusting in His care.'
Have any of you had these issues regarding hiring care dealing with hire care givers who disregard employee agreements? How did you handle it.
Hope you got something out of this vlog when you see it.
The Morning After Campout .(Means I Slept In My Wheelchair). What A Gorgeous September. Vlog Feel free to join us where we address everything from real life, well real life from our unique perspective. My husband and I both use wheelchairs. He provides my primary care, but due to his physical limitations, I also depend on Personal Care Attendants who assist mw with getting into and out of bed. If I am having to "sleep" in my power chair, 98% of the time it means I am short staffed and have to figure out survival with just my husband and myself and of course we know always under God's care and provision.
Thank you for stopping by! Before you say it, yes, I know this video is raw and an uncut vlog. After a night of trying to sleep in my wheelchair. I was excited to get outside to vlog. Beautifying myself was the least of my concerns. So ye, I have boogers! Hope you can look past them an just enjoy my home produced honest vlogs! Thank you for stopping by!

Since it is so perfect, why would we need to leave it!

It's another night Camping Indoors. Which means I sleep in my wheelchair and Craig sleeps on the raised futon. I saw somewhere that taping your mouth shut, helps you sleep better especially if you have sleep apnea or snore. Before I Go to Sleep I made a request to my husband. Nothing surprises him!. I apologize For the severe grogginess , because, I was just about to fall asleep as we recorded part 2 my husband had to turn off the phone camera. Just another night in the life of us!

Hi guys! Last night was the first indoor camp out in a week. At first I thought I was a little bummed that we didn't have one between last week and this week, but I must say after last night I'm glad it was a week apart. So about 530 this morning after my usual hour and a half of sleep or so, I vlogged a little around the neighbourhood babbling a little bit about hiring personal care attendants and other current events.

These caps were made using size 000, which. meant buying just a small 25 capsule maker. Don't be fooled, these devices don't do it for you, they just are devices that help make it easier.
My other two devices make one hundred. But since I don't like using them the way you are supposed to, I find the small 25 capsule maker faster and easier to use.
Come have some fun with us as we virtually or tastefully jet to Turkey.
