NYC didn't need rain THAT soon. I realize I said I thought it was needed to clear the air (literally... to get some of the dust out of the air so that people could breathe), but I also said that I hoped it could hold off until everyone who could possibly be rescued alive was recovered. :(

I'm off to the bookstore to get a locking diary for my grandmother. This is the second try... the first one we bought has a broken lock. The aides at her nursing home read her diary the other day... she writes everything down, good or bad... and she got in trouble for something that was misinterpreted (specifically, she referred to an African-American aide as "the black one"). Sigh. This is not as bad as the nursing home she was in before, where an aide dragged her across the floor by her hair because she asked for bathroom help. That diary is being sent to the DA in her area, if we can talk her into it.

she's in the cleveland area. i don't know what the laws there actually are. & she isn't in the same home anymore where she was dragged by her hair. when she told that aide that she was going to tell, the aide said "yeah, and who do you think they're going to believe?" :(

at the current place, the worst thing seems to be that the aides go through her stuff and read her diary and so on. which still isn't good. my mom wants my uncles to put a nannycam in the room, but i don't think that's legal, because the room isn't their property. i do know that the nursing home is taping the room.
