I
think I wrote about Gail, my cleaning person, who used to be my home
health provider. She's post 70 and she's still trying to survive in
the workplace. She provides two hours of cleaning at my apartment
every week. Two charges be $15 an hour which is less expensive than
anybody else I could engage but at the same time she is getting up
there in age so I'm purchasing her time and I appreciate what she
does and she does an adequate job. The problem now is that last week
she had a rather severe automobile accident. Thank goodness she's not
in the hospital which is banged up pretty bad and her vehicle was
totaled. She has no transportation an early form of work at this
point is cleaning people's homes and she has no transportation I
don't know how much longer she can continue doing that plus concerned
about residual accident situation. She's fallen down a couple times
and I don't know how steady she is. She's got major bills, I think
she recently got this new vehicle I know it cost her a lot. I don't
know how she's going to do this however she did allude to being in
communication with one of the local ambulance chasers that you see
advertised. So hopefully she was not cited for the accident and that
she might get a little renumeration for her lost vehicle.
So,
what do I do now? Fortunately my current home health person is great
Annette actually does a lot of light cleaning while I'm processing
through my our team that could be anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes and
for an apartment my size that's not too bad. Sweep the floors, mop
and wax if I purchased some wax. She vacuums the front room and the
bedroom which are actually pretty small. She always makes my bed and
even starts my wash once a week. I go down and collect the wash when
it's done but she actually gets me wash started and then froze the
wash from the machine to the dryer. So between Annette and Gail I am
actually live in a pretty shipshape home. Well what got me writing
this tonight was that typically Gail comes on Friday afternoon and so
my apartment looks pretty good until Monday when Annette does her
thing. I actively noticed this evening that the apartment really does
need some attention. So I spent the afternoon washing dishes and I
plan to sweep the floor before tomorrow. Mark Anthony was over and
picked up the floor in the front of the apartment. I should be okay
by tomorrow morning early. The only thing it causes me some concern
is that Friday as Annette and myself visited she kind of mentioned
she was planning some outing the next couple weeks. It's too soon to
beat I'm going to do concerned but I'm just wondering what I'm going
to do when Annette moves on I know it's going to happen change is the
only constant and maybe that's what I've got to accept I'll always be
in the process of training my next healthcare person…
