Saturday's musings

I I really need to start putting the lookout again for a housekeeper some sort. The one person I really kind of used is leaving the state. Her story is a long story and fairly complicated but I found her more or less dependable when I needed her. It wasn't a regular situation and I had to have her come over to work on an apartment when she had free time to do it in. Her main problem was that she didn't have enough work time- - didn't design her enough hours to survive, this is her story and I think there's a lot of issues that have to be considered but the bottom line was that she finally ended up quitting and I assume moving back to Idaho. I don't know how long she'll be there before she starts heading out on the road and living out of her car but she has done before. I worry about her when I don't hear from her from time to time. Right now I assume she still has her cell phone or at least she still has cell phone service. If I don't hear from her in a couple of days I'll give her a call or a text to see if she responds. I had forgotten that when she was my personal care attendant she was basically single except that she had a person she was waiting for that would not be available for a number of years. We hadn't talked about him for a long time and still haven't I assume that the wait continues. She's very dependable so I think that if she is committed to somebody she sticks with that person for as long as that person needs her. All I know is now she's not available for house cleaning. For one reason or another I keep getting advertisements for different housekeepers in this area. I don't know really, how much they charge but it's pretty significant and this prevents me from engaging them as a housekeeper. Perhaps if I can't snag somebody around here I might consider engaging in this housekeeping agency.

I actually was dressed and ready to go around 9:30 a.m. and I went across the street over to the coffee shop and got a cup of coffee and sat at a table for a significant amount of time listening to bits and pieces of conversation all around me. Pull up pressure system finally moved out leaving blue skies and direct sunshine which even though it was cold starting out this morning it warmed up to be a very nice day. After my time at the coffee shop I came back to the apartment Dolly around for a while and then went across the street to the market I was looking for a sponge that goes inside the the handle of the mop sponge mop. I've been meaning to get this replacement for some time. Luckily my current home health person doesn't bug me or I would have had it done sooner. She indicated to me that she knows how to put the replacement sponge into the mop handle. I totally believe her and we'll have her have a go at it on Monday. This will allow me to mop up some of the stuff in the shower. The largest plain dirt that comes off of the chair that I sit on. I don't really know how it gets as dirty as it does but it tends to actually I think I drank a lot of dirt on my squeals of my power chair when I come in to the bathroom and I think for that dirt hits or gets watered by the shower and such all that dust turns to mud and other dirt on the floor. The shower also has dirt on the floor and needs to be scrubbed away with the brush I thought I had a brush that would do that but it could not be found so I found a replacement but I don't have the hands to install it at this point so I plan to use it the floor in the bathroom on shower days and days without bringing too much dirt from the outside whether it's from a rainstorm or melted snow.
