Cindy my cleaning lady came yesterday–
–but I gave you a rundown yesterday – – she usually comes on
Tuesdays in fact she was coming today but I cancellation yesterday
and squeeze me in. This was good for me because I really needed some
attention to this place but I didn't have any place to go. You see
usually Cindy comes on Tuesday in the morning and I'm usually on
Tuesday mornings gone to my Assist meeting in Salt Lake. This works
fine we usually meet in passing which is good Cindy is left to her to
clean the apartment. But I'm here I can take her off task by talking
my head off. I must sound pathetic going on on about who knows what.
I usually pay for two hours of cleaning session. However my apartment
was in such dire straits it needed more attention than usual. I'm
sure she charged me for only half an hour after the first two hours
even though I'm the one of is talking.
Early on I can see I was distracting
Cindy so I made the excuse to go down and check my mail. I wasn't
sure if I would go anywhere else just to give Cindy a break and let
her focus on cleaning the apartment. Of course the mailboxes are in
the common area. I have to go through the front lobby to get to the
mailboxes. As I was cruising past the front door I almost ran into
Katie who was dolled up and looked like she was gone out. You all,
remember Kate's? We actually went to a couple of movies the first of
this year. For someone who is supposedly diagnosed with our partners
she is still extremely bright and together. It's not that I've been
avoiding Kate but I kind of have. I like her but she is so local
culture that she tends to wander into religiosity which makes me feel
awkward. We talked and I found that she was waiting for someone to
pick her up her to “adopted granddaughters”. They're taking her
out to lunch and Kate was terribly excited. Kate brought up the
movies we'd gone to and how much fun they had been for her. I
acknowledged I have had a good time as well. We both made a loose
compact that we are going to go to the movies again soon, as soon as
one came that was acceptable to both our tastes. No more Star Wars or
other action movies. Halfway to the conversation she stopped and
again reminded me she was going to Cracker Barrel restaurant. Again,
I could tell she was most excited. I'm not a great fan of the Cracker
Barrel but I went along with Kate on how great a place it was to eat.
That was when she reached out and touched my arm and said “what
would you like to eat I will get you something to bring it back for
you?” I was tempted and start and I graciously try to back out for
a number of reasons. The first and foremost I really don't know what
kind of funding base Kate operates out of and is I hate the thought
of her dragging a meal all the way back. Kate continued to apply
pressure and finally just to shut her up is a steak would be great
medium rare. I figured she was just talking anyway, I also figured
that if she does have Alzheimer's than for sure she will forget and I
let it go.
I returned the apartment and try to
stay out of Cindy's way. You see the image she is a pretty good job.
I spent the rest of the day either outside reading and sunshine or
enjoying the cleanliness of the apartment and trying to figure out
how to keep it clean until Cindy's next visit. I was getting ready to
start my daily work out on my own bike's but I hear a knocking on my
door – – faint but persistent. I shouted “come in” but
nothing happenedso I rolled over and opened the door's and there was
Kate holding oversized take-out bag from the Cracker Barrel and sure
enough there was my medium rare steak, green beans mashed potatoes
and dark gravy and even a piece of apple pie! I was blown away. The
only thing I could do was accept. I already had dinner for the
evening so I put the takeout in the refrigerator for later.
Now I guess I better figure something
nice I can do with Kate. It's been keeping an eye on the movies that
would be appropriate it's a shame I have already got to Christopher
Robin, Christopher Robin would've been a good movie for the both of
us that there are couple others that might work possibly, Mama Mia. I
don't think that's too racy only problem Kate may want to go to that
movie but I'm sure another will come up shortly, especially with the
holidays coming up.
