Dear Diary,
Today I had another five hour shift with C.
I tidied up a bit, hung out some washing, drove her to the mall, where we drank a coffee together, then I drove her to her physio session.
C uses a walker round the house and an electric scooter when she's out.
The electric scooter is cumbersome to lift in and out of the car.
When we got to the physio place the electric scooter alarm sounded, indicating that there was an issue and it should not be used.
C rang her husband. He arrived and pressed the red lever. The alarm stopped.
To be honest I felt stupid and wished I had some training and or knowledge of mobility aids to assist C in a more efficient way.
I don't even have a first aid certificate. I'll get one - it seems negligent not to have it.
I sat outside for a while when I got home thinking about all the ways that anyone from anywhere could come into this kind of work.

Zoe needs help with her garden and meal prep.
Trump has 68 days to pick his team before inauguration day on Jan 20th. When I was a kid I really disliked musk sticks.. the flavour was odd and had no place in a kids lolly bag.
