The weekends are a time to relax. Setting the mind free of the anxiety and strain of the week. It's like undoing a knot and it takes effort and time. I shouldn't get so tangled up in the first place...
It is the middle of April and it is still cold. I need to get seeds ready for planting but this year I haven't been out much and the cold wet weather has been discouraging for garden visits.
We are planning to start a charity. Excessive government meddling has created a lifeless, expensive, bureaucratic monster called "social care". The only people who get something out of it are the unscrupulous, cheats and "fly by nights". In the absence of a better system we feel a difference can be made in the role of care giver. Currently the most import 2 people are the disabled person trying to live their life with all its complications and the person/s assisting in this.
We think that there is an area in a disabled person's life that is not dealt with properly. The provision of professional, dedicated, well trained helpers. We don't want to use the word carer. It is a poor description of the role and disabled people don't want a carer they need an aide. Through Linda's persistence we came to "Aide de Vie" or AV for short.
I will tell you more about this later.
It appears as though Linda has moved off the idea of moving jobs. So some stability has returned.
I am still on the search for a new aide (carer, AV). I interviewed a young local, polish girl, who is qualified on the face of it, but may not pass the job shadow. So I will let you know in a few weeks time.
