Waiting...

The new new housecleaner said he would be here between 8 and 9.  Of course, he also said he would be here Monday but then, late yesterday, said today was better for him.  Fine.  It's now 8:56.  Why do I think he's not going to work out any better than the last one? 

Sigh.  I'm trying to keep an open mind but it's not easy.  He said he thinks it will take about 6 hours to clean and he wants me here the whole time to show him the ropes.  If I knew the ropes or wanted to know the ropes, I wouldn't need you, buddy.  We'll see.  I think I will likely duck out and go make a run to the GoodWill and maybe to the drug store/grocery store. I need to get more Puffs tissues.  This cold has wiped me out.  Pun intended.

It is decidedly better today - the cold.  I'm still about a week away, I think, from no cold at all but the rest is just clean up.  If I can avoid the can't breathe or sleep cough, I'll be happy. So far, so good.

It's actually cool enough that I could have walked this morning but I slept too late and wanted to enjoy my coffee and newspaper before cleaning boy showed up. Turns out I had plenty of time but I didn't know that then.

I do need Wayne!! But this guy, once he finally showed up - he got lost - but he's into it now and working away. Maybe he won't be too bad.

Even if he shows up at this stage I would send him away. I found my cleaner by a note she placed in a restaurant window. A local coffee shop/lunch place situated in a swank neighborhood. She's been with me over a year. No complaints.

I so admire you for your walking. As my latest posts show, I'm attempting to start a regular exercise regemin.

Have you tried Merry Maids? I used them when I owned a busy CPA practice, and they were great. A little more expensive than the others, but it was worth it to me. They showed up every other Thursday like clockwork. Two of them at a time, one was a supervisor. They were extremely thorough and FAST. I liked the fast part. Since they were a franchise, they always had staff available; a very large pool of employees (of course, none of them spoke English). They're also bonded.

We used to have a Merry Maids here but no more, according to their website. That's where I headed when I ended up with the last service. I did it for all the reasons you said. But, alas, the company was not so good. If this guy doesn't pan out, I'm going to try the service thing again.

The walking thing is great except in the heat. Come September, I'll be back at it.

A cold takes 10 days to get over. Always!!

No matter what you do.

You know, you really are right on that.
