I went to the hairdresser last week, we were going to a special wedding a few days after that, and I wanted to get my hair cut and coloured to ensure I could look my best! It is a calm and quiet place and I like to chat with everyone. It was a hot day.
Mind you, this time a lady came in with her newborn baby in a stroller and with her little girl in tow. I do remember those days. The hairdresser told her it was not a good idea to bring the baby too close due to all the chemicals. The lady said she had no other choice but to bring the kids with her. It didn't take long before the baby started wailing at the top of its lungs. Yes, I do remember those days.
The esthetician told me her husband had one of his legs amputated below the knee due to diabetes complications when he was 50 years old. That was 21years ago, and she has been looking after him since then. It means she has been tied down as a caregiver for a long time. He is able to go to the washroom on his own and is not totally helpless compared to her friend's situation. That friend rents a machine from the hospital for $130/month that will lift her husband in and out of bed as he is bedridden. He has no control of his bowel movements and does not want to go to a long term care home. He is a wealthy man and the family respects his wishes. Some people seem to have to carry more burdens than others in this life, I thought.
There is a dollar store in the plaza and I am happy to report I bought my 2017 daily agenda! It used to be a deal to get it there but the price keeps increasing. And yes, it's a paper book, nothing online for me as yet.
