Last week tenants were delivered a permission form from KMHC to allow staff to take photographs of tenants during programs and events.   In black magic marker I wrote "No"  across the page and cheerfully returned the letter to the empty office.   The reason being: years ago at a luncheon held in the community room I noticed the staff walking about the room taking photos of tenants without asking permission.

She’s staying at Dunduran Place Nursing home across the street recovering from surgery and she was upset. The lady explained there’s no staff about and she’s lock out of the building.   I don’t like seeing a woman cry so I offered to help by wheeling her to the building and I’ll try to get night staff to open the door for her.   Mission accomplished the lady was grateful and safe in the building.   I was just glad it wasn’t the middle of winter when I found her.  Recently tenant Dean was going about bragging to other tenants he called the cops on me.   Last week a H.R. police officer knocked on my door while I was in the shower, I told him to wait while I dry off then I invited him in.
