My grandma is somewhat nuts, what can I do?

My grandma lives in the same apartment building as I do. I expect to move when my lease is up in a few months but for now she is driving me nuts! She comes over so many times during the day for dumb things like she claims she doesn't know how to use her computer, or she did something to her remote for her TV, or can I carry up her grocery bags with 2 things in them. I have tried to ignore her a few times if I am busy with something else, but if she knows my car is in the parking lot, she will ring the doorbell until I answer. After ringing several times, she will say oh were you sleeping?

She constantly complains about her 30 dollar rent increase that is coming up and she just doesn't know how she is going to survive, but then she goes to the casino twice a week religiously and always brings 200 dollars along. She says her back is so awful she can hardly walk but right now she is out chopping the ice off of the driveway.

I love my grandma but she is so overwhelming and her complaining is just too much to listen to at times and I need some space sometimes but then she comes over all the time!

What can I do?

ok sounds like Grandma is lonesome..
call your neighbourhood senior center...see what activities they have there that grandma will be interested in...and then TAKE HER..
It also sounds like she wants a relationship with you...more of a friend thing and not a grandma-kid thing... so be her friend..include her in a few things
and above all LOVE Her..

( I lost my Grandma a few months ago, and would give anything to have spent more time with her)
