Felt in a crappy mood tonight. I'm off to sleep, send me ideas how you'd torture someone who did you wrong, to cheer me up when I wake up tomorrow.

I've always wanted to be an author so to that end, I'm going to write a book on how to admit your loved one to a nursing home from a nursing assistant's point of view. I'll cover what to bring or not bring, but what to expect and explain why things are the way they are in a home. I hope to make the process easier and less stressful, as well as help dispel negative ideas about nursing homes.

So help me out, what would you want to know if you had to admit a loved one to a home? I want as much input as possible with my research to give a solid explanation to help families. Thanks!

“If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it — some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder. Maybe you weren’t always able to look at human behavior this way. That’s okay. Now you are. Give it a try.”

— “Laziness Does Not Exist” by E Price on Medium

(And a footnote I didn’t see explicitly covered in the article: laziness still doesn’t exist when it is you yourself making no progress and not knowing why. You deserve that respect and consideration, too, even from yourself.)

Pain wears you down. It doesn’t matter if you have the best attitude in the world or the worst, it’ll still wear you down. And that’s okay to acknowledge to try to keep moving forward.
