Clarice showed up today to
repay me for the snow removal of her vehicle. I was not sure what to
expect be honest but what ensued was a genuinely friendly in
interesting couple of hours. Clarice is from Ukraine via Germany
during the second world war and onto America. She hobbles around with
her walker she gets along better than I expect. She felt a couple of
years ago on And it is never really feel yet she feels it's too late
in life to consider a hip replacement. She's gone just hobble along
with what she's got.
I've been working on the
apartment off and on all morning not really thinking that Clarice
would show up. I had already called the individual who wants to clean
my apartment but she still second and as of my discussion with her
this morning she was rated temperature by hundred degrees and she
looked pretty worn out. Advised her to stay put or head in to
Insta-care, the local “doc in the box”, for treatment. Hopefully
by next week I'll get a more in-depth cleaning of the apartment. I
was Up to my elbows in deboning one of the chickens I had gotten last
week. For some reason I have a hankering for chicken enchiladas – –
since I have the chicken – – I had even gone over to the market
and purchased a can of enchilada sauce. You will remember I have
limited hand function so needless to say the kitchen area where I was
busy with the bird did not look pretty. Clarice did not say anything
which I thought was kind but I knew she was thinking 'should I help
her just little guy do it on his own' I guess she opted for the
latter. I cleaned off my hands and welcomed Clarice in and she went
right to work sweeping the kitchen floor. I'd slept most of the floor
earlier in the day in preparation but there are still pieces that
really need to be worked out.
Clarice bite my mop bucket
and soon had it filled with hot water and Pine-Sol. Nothing makes an
apartment feel cleaner than the aroma of heavy-duty Pine-Sol. Over
the last couple of months I had dropped a number of grapes and other
items round onto the floor which it been ran over by my chair in the
squashed remains dried to the linoleum/tile. Clarice tried to soak
those items free that was not going to work in the time she has left
this life so she went to work with a straight edge shovel type
device, the implement I actually used to remove the snow from the
windows of her vehicle. The sharp edge worked great at scraping the
sticky things off the floor. She then apply the Pine-Sol water and I
don't know how long it's been since I have had floors this clean.
Earlier in the week I was
going to vacuum my floor in my front room I never got around to the
task. I pulled the plug from the wall by mistake in my wheelchair
went to close. Before I knew it and run over the plug and pinched the
prongs close together And it could not plug the machine in. I hate
carpet for a host of reasons. This carpet is beige so all dirt sticks
out specially more round items fruit grounded to the carpet. Of
course Clarice wanted the vacuum but I finally convinced her not to
and I think she was getting pretty tired at that point I know that I
was entertaining is exhausting. We talked about many things her
family, my family for life in Europe and America and some of my life
in America. She threatened to come down again in a couple of days and
I informed Clarice that she is more than re-paid any debt She might
only owe me for digging out her vehicle. Once again, she would not
hear of welching on what she felt she owed me. I knew better than to
argue. So, I'll let this little person, this 81-year-old person
continue to help me out clearing her debts...
