Cleaner came today. She put away Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations. She started bringing out red boxes of decorations. Took 3 ft tree out and fluffed it nicely. Tommy and I have a royal discussion about this, and it takes him days to do it. She did it in 3 minutes. I had her do something else. She asked if I wanted her to put the ornaments on. YES! The tree has lights. Now, it has an abundance of red, round ornaments.
She had come and left to go to a doctor appointment, then came back. The ornaments were the last thing she did for me.
She took all the boxes off the air return in that room, thankfully.
As I took out decorations, I gave her some--four Santa hats (has three children), set of Christmas cupcake papers picks and tags, and other things. She left with a bagful of things for her kids who were waiting in the car. She got out the wreath and hung it.
When she left, Tommy cut up about 10 boxes and put in trash. The room is more spacious.
Daughter failed Algebra at UAB, so I volunteered to tutor her.
Cleaner will return tomorrow. Then, she can change my bed and put together the reindeer.
Coughing is still wearing me out. Tommy is recovering nicely.
The Christmas season is better for me.
How is your holiday going?
She left to go to doctor and physical therapist came for an hour. When he left, she returned.
So far, so good on the holiday. I'm glad the cleaner is helping you out. It's so great to get 10 boxes out of the room. I was doing some of that this morning and it looks so much better. I hope your coughing gets better. I understand how it wear you out, It gets old fast. Glad to hear Tommy is recovering too.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteI am still on box patrol! There are more. We are going to make it with the cough.
Glad you got some help setting things up. Good to hear you are improving some and that Tommy is as well.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
DeleteI was already in high spirits, but I am ecstatic now. Thanks.
what ever happened with the dogs next door? (curious)
ReplyDeletemeetsy,
DeleteWhen I started getting ill, I let it go and forgot. Thanks for reminding me.
I can't imagine not ever having baked a cake by that age. But, I know people who, among other things have never: Made a lasagna, baked a fish, or baked bread or made their own tortillas. Americans cook like they have free health care.
ReplyDeleteMeg,
DeleteOkay, I have baked bread in a breadmaker. The others, no. I asked her what she cooks. She said things like greens and cabbage, so I don't know.
My sister and I started with baking sweets.
more or less it hasn't started yet. This Saturday Someone isn't working in the morning, so we will get out the tree and at least erect it. I got out a few Christmas plates; the Yule Lad ornaments are coming out one at a time now.
ReplyDeleteThe tree, decorated or bare will be a good sign.
