Another Aide Issue

The aide who was supposed to do my dinner shift last night forgot to come.  When she finally arrived, well over an hour late, she apologized to me several times because she knew I needed the bathroom, and she made me a nice supper.

However, she was still here when the next aide arrived, and she told him had she known he was coming so soon she wouldn't have come at all.  That would have left me without the bathroom for about another hour.  That statement didn't strike me as being entirely consistent with her apologies.

Folorunso

My aide Folorunso is due to come back to work tonight after his trip to his native Nigeria.

The aides who filled in for him were just fine, but I'll be glad to have Foley back.

Pacers Prevail

The Pacers were able to beat the Wizards last night, winning that series.  Now they have what they seemingly have been wanting all season, a rematch with Miami in the conference finals.

The Pacers, at their best, have shown they can beat the Heat in big games.  The problem is they haven't played their best in a while now.  Maybe the Heat will bring the best out in them.

Getting A Shower

I asked one of my aides to give me a shower Tuesday, and it turned into a struggle.  He was willing, but he didn't know how to use the shower chair.  We got that worked out, but then he couldn't get hot water in the shower, which has happened before, so, since his two hour shift was running out, we abandoned the effort.

Next time will be better.

Pacers Blow It

The Pacers could have wrapped up their playoff series at home last night.  Instead, they were blown out.

Sometimes, this team simply doesn't seem interested.

Getting Out

My aides and others often urge me to get outside, but the current schedule seems to make that tough.

As I understand it. aides from the company here during the day can't go outside with me-- yes, it's a bizarre rule-- and the aides who could go out with me are only here overnight.  That limits the jaunt options.  Hopefully, the next schedule will restore the evening hours to the aides from the right company so I can go out more.

Pacers Win

Well, I started watching the Pacers game last night, and they were getting blitzed again, so I switched over to baseball.  I switched back, though, in time to see the very end of a Pacers victory, giving them a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.

Hopefully, such a loss, at home, will break the spirit of the Wizards, and the Pacers can wrap up this series quickly.
