Just seeing if Windows Live Writer interfaces with WordPress BLOG.

Anyway, I haven’t been writing much in my BLOGS due to how bad my emotions are these days.

I am feeling so sick being stuck taking care of the guy I’m renting a room from because IHSS cannot provide the 12/16 hour attendant he needs.  Or is it assistant?  And my being on SSI a lousy $870 a month with threatened REDUCTIONS by government budget crisis whereas the wealthy don’t see reductions in their services and incomes from the government as they are not dependent on them and even in some case don’t pay any taxes at all (both income or business taxes too).  I have a degree in accounting plus real estate experience so I know about taxes.

I have a hard time keeping these ‘job’ titles straight as they refer to different levels of care of a disabled person like I did with my parents.  For example: Dad.  I was administering his pills, etc. so was the a ‘caretaker’?  Mom fed and bathed herself for the most part but heavily relied on me to take her shopping and do dishes, etc. 

So ‘caretaker’ doesn’t fit the definition as that to me means having some sort of ‘take charge’ kind of status whereas mom was running the show, paying bills, doing her own pills, etc.

So I’m ‘dying’ here.  I can’t do anything as I have to remain at home most of the time to serve Rick.  I’m so sick of it.
