My new “job”



Uncle Jim and Aunt June had picked out a nice two bedroom apartment at a retirement facility to live in before he passed away.  Ever since Uncle Jim died, Aunt June needs someone to help care for her because she has Parkinson’s disease. 
One of her daughters asked me if I would like to be a part-time caregiver for her.  There are four of us, and I do whatever she needs me to do.  I take her to the grocery store, shopping, and take her dog to the vet. The two things that are especially designated to me are to do her medicines each week and do her hair.  I kinda think it is funny that I do her hair.  I wash it, blow dry it, and curl it.  I was a tomboy when I was younger, and  I don’t think I have ever used a curling iron in my life!
