Yesterday I wasn't Shannon. I was Aaron. Every day is a story. I'm Shannon Kaysen. Make sure you like, comment and subscribe.

Sometimes I'm not Shannon. I have to turn into one of my alter egos. Yesterday, I was Aaron.

Not Aaron A-A-A-R-O-N, but Aaron E-R-R-A-N-D.

Aaron.

I become Aaron for my elders.

It's just something I do to keep me patient, keep me emotionally regulated while I'm

caretaking. So I had a few missions to accomplish for my uncle yesterday. We had to go to a doctor

appointment. I had to do grocery runs for my uncle, my mom, and my auntie. And then my uncle

needed a new phone from Verizon. So I had to go there. That took about an hour for him to

set up the phone, put the new number, transfer, all this other stuff. It just took a lot of time

and money. But Aaron doesn't mind.

You know, he just takes it all in stride.

A very selfless guy.

Then we get back to the house.

And Aaron recently cleaned the whole house so the house is looking good, smelling fresh.

It still got some more to do, but it's looking good right now. My uncle gets in his comfortable spot, grabs the TV remote, and tries to turn it on, and the TV isn't working.

Now, TV for the older generations, it isn't just entertainment, you know, unfortunately.

It's where that generation goes and they can connect with what's going on in the world and they can stay relevant.

Like my dad, my dad is 85.

He knows more about politics than me.

He watches all the talking head shows on YouTube on his TV and just don't even get him started.

Then my mom, she knows all the local news stories.
