St Dominics - Day 6

Day 6

I got up about 7.30am and got myself dressed. I Went down stairs and made myself a coffee and went outside for a smoke.

When I went back up stairs, I packed what I haven’t already packed and checked the room to make sure that I hadn’t for gotten anything.

Jo, the staff member gave me some sheets to be able to make the bed upstairs again and asked if I could just strip the bed down stairs in the respite room and put the sheets and pillow cases into the bag that is in the bathroom that is between the first lot of stairs and the second lot of stairs, in which I did.

I vacuumed the room I was in upstairs and made sure it was clean and the windows were open to air it so it was ready for the next person. All Jo would have to do is made sure the room was already for the next person.

I was going to put my dirty washing thru the washing machine and put it into a bag and all I had to do when I got home was to hang it out. But by the time I remembered It was a bit too late to do it as I didn’t know what time I was getting picked up. But it did turn out when I was thinking about it, I did have enough time.

I took all my gear down stairs and put it into the foyer by the front door so all I had to do is carry it out to the car. I had done all this by 9.30am. If I had my way I would of left and soon as I got up.

I made myself another coffee and went out back again for another smoke. While I was outside, I rang Stephen and said that I hadn’t heard from Maxine yet so I wasn’t sure what was going on and I was all ready just in case. As I still hadn’t heard if I was going home today or on Wednesday. I kept hoping it was today. Stephen said that he will ring Maxine to find out what is going on but I said that to leave it to 10.30 and If I haven’t heard then give her a ring.

When I went back inside, Jo asked if I have heard anything from Maxine and I said no so she rang Mental Health in Levin and asked for Maxine. Whoever answered the said she is at a meeting in Palmerston North and then will be coming over to St Dominic’s and picking me up and take me home.

As soon as the fat pig knew I was heading home, she goes good you are going home. I turned and said to her, don’t worry, I am planning to come back at some stage. The look in the big fat pig face was priceless. She then goes Uh oh.  I just smiled at the fucking bitch then walked away. I so enjoyed rubbing it into the big fat pig face, it was actually fun. It was the most enjoyment I had since I arrived on Wednesday. Oh happy memory of rubbing it into her face. It was priceless.

I waited for ages for her to turn up as I just wanted to get home. Maxine rang about 10.30 to say she was on her way and she will be about 20 minutes. She got there finally at 11.10. Jo asked her if she found out about me staying to Wednesday and she said that she tried but the person who does the funding for respite said that they are at the funding limit now so I couldn’t stay any longer. I was actually glad about but I didn’t say anything.

On the way home, found out from Maxine that she did ring late Friday and left a message for me that I will be coming on Monday. She had spoken to the evening staff member which she didn’t past the message on to me nor did she put any notes onto my file. So of course Jo didn’t know anything about it this morning. Neither Maxine nor me was very happy about the message not getting thru to me or it being put onto my file that I was coming on Monday. I am not sure if Maxine is going to say something to them about it.

I got home and Stephen was happy to see me home. Once Fluffy knew I was home, he won’t leave me alone. It was so nice to be home again and being able to enjoy the fact that I was home again and I get to sleep in my own bed.
