Yesterday's condo
1/9 AMPS 137,+2 128,+9 106, PMPS 91,+2 81,+4 59,+8 92
Well, except for that AMPS, today has been a much better day for Miss China!!
She started out on the beach, but she's been paddling around the rest of the day
Found out today that the lady that's been cleaning for DM gave herself a raise when I checked DM's account balance and saw the account had been charged $25 for an overdraft fee! It's really hard to balance a checkbook when you don't know what checks are being written!!
Of course she says she discussed it with DM who told her it wasn't a problem (and doesn't remember any such discussion) but DM is on a tight budget and she really can't afford it.....besides that, she was already making $45 for (usually) less than 3 hours work and now she thinks she should get $55!! Most housekeepers around this area make about $10/hour so she was already getting 50% more than most.....so I guess I'm either going to have to find someone else or figure out how to deal with it (or have her only come every other week which would probably be OK when it comes to "cleaning" but mom needs laundry more often than that)
On top of that, since the "stalker" lady started showing up, mom keeps running out of stuff ...first it was toilet paper, then Kleenex and cat food....I bought a 12 pack of canned food yesterday on our way home from the cardiologist and when I went over this afternoon, there were TWO cans left!! There's NO way her little 8lb cat could eat 10 cans in 24 hours!! As much as the stalker lady keeps telling me that she doesn't want to be accused of things disappearing, I can't help but think that we never had these problems with stuff disappearing until she came into the picture.
The fun just keeps on coming!!
At least my little China makes me smile (when she stays nice and green anyway!)

...seriously, you are a wonderful daughter...your momma is very blessed to have you
I'd suggest a locking cabinet, but your DM would forget where she put the key.
