26 December: Planning/Plotting

Dec 26, 2018 23:02

After spending the last two nights with me, my sister Debbie is back in her apartment. I loved sharing the holiday with her, but I also need my alone time, so...glad to see you, nice to wave good-bye.

My friend, who has MS, has Visiting Angels. They come
in every day and she has a couple who are regulars. But
she's only going to get worse over time, so this is a long
term thing. But making the space for them to move around
is really important.

The first thing I did when I moved into this apartment was to bring very little of my furniture and only buy any pieces I really need. I left great, wide aisles from the living area to the bedroom and from both to the bathroom. I wish Debbie had done the same, but she didn't. Now we need to create some sort of aisles even if they can't call themselves great or wide.

I'm going to see her on New Years Day, and we'll discuss disposing and moving. *sigh* Her tolerance for clutter is much, much greater than mine. FanSee

You are a good sister to watch over her so diligently. She is lucky to have you! I hope that you will be able to find someone to help out!

My fall-back will charge me an arm and a leg, but I know Ted will find me someone. The amount he charges includes a hefty finders fee for himself.

I'd like to find someone who will come at least once a week for a while; Debbie is not a great housekeeper in the best of times. FanSee

I would love to get someone to come in once a month and do a heavy cleaning. Sigh... I suppose not keeps me young (and tired).

You are a good sister and I can tell that everything will fall into place just as it should.

It better! that's all I have to say.

I'm going to start working on it after the 1st, when everybody is back in their routine. FanSee

How lucky Debbie is to have a sister like you - planning and plotting indeed!

I hope you find someone quickly and easily!

Well, I'm the oldest of four, with my closest sibling being five years younger than me, so I've been a bossy person from an early age. That can be a mixed blessing for my sibs. FanSee
