I just found out USPS has been putting most of Uncle's mail in his mailbox rather than forwarding it to me like they're supposed to, for months, forwarding just enough items to make me believe the forwarding was working.
Important notices, checks that needed to be deposited, everything, just sitting in his mailbox for months.
😡
Power of attorney doesn't work if I don't get the mail and therefore can't deal with it.

My sister asked me to take my dad to the DMV to get a new ID while I'm there.
This is needed because he lost his passport within days of when sis got it for him. *sigh*
She suspects he was carrying it around in his pocket and forgot to take it out and it got sent to the laundry.
He's in an assisted living facility and barely ever leaves and never alone, so who the f knows why he would need to carry around his passport. 🤷
This time, my sister will hold onto the ID.

Pokolenie przegubowe albo sandwich generation - czyli dorośli, którzy pracują zawodowo, a jednocześnie sprawują opiekę nad dorastającymi lub dorosłymi już dziećmi, które nie wyprowadziły się jeszcze z domu oraz nad swoimi rodzicami.

Wychowaliśmy pokolenie, które myśli, że im się należy. "Syn się skrzywił, bo nie będzie miał już swego pokoju"

Życie zawodowe zaczynali na przełomie wieków. Są przyzwyczajeni do tego, że praca to nie plaża. Dzieci porodziły im się późno. Często po 30. Są pokoleniem 'przegubowców'. Już mogliby zwolnić, ale nic z tego. Ich wchodzące w dorosłość dzieci mają marzenia. Często bardzo kosztowne. Bo przydałoby się mieszkanie na start.

As a child, I remember complaining to my Parents about the high pitched scream of the CRT TV. Their look of disbelief in that sound is now mirrored by my children as I try to explain how TV's used to scream when turned on.

Life is hard. Kids have been demanding this weekend, spouse has been under the weather, and I went to visit my dad (who is on month 4 of living in the hospital even though he shouldn't be) who was not lucid at all during our visit. I'm sad, discouraged, and worn out. 😞 #parenting #ElderCare #SandwichGeneration

"Generation Sandwitch" — work-in-progress development sketch, December 2021.

I hope to finish this drawing someday. Today? Probably not.

...But who knows? It's still morning here and the day is still young. (But still yeah most likely not.)

It's the #sandwichGeneration #healthcare #bureaucracy-palooza today!
Q: Why was my uncle's home care downgraded from 24x7 to 9x7 without explanation?
A: (after quite a while on the phone with the insurance co. and aide agency) Either the aide agency misunderstood the authorization letter or it was written wrong; the insurance co. sent a new letter. Problem solved.
