Good news, I hired two women to clean the house once a month. In between, we will do our best to maintain it. The man across the street uses them. His job is home renovations and he sends them in to clean up a house after he has completed his job.

So I broke down and asked him for their number. They came yesterday after they finished cleaning theirs.

Two smiling women, I loved them on sight. The older of the two speaks little English, but her niece helps her, not only with cleaning, but also helps translate what I say.

The first visit is deep cleaning, so it costs a little more. I told them I did the dusting myself (translation, the last cleaners broke quite a few things while dusting.)

When I heard the price, I chose every 4 weeks. Rob is already cooking, so he can stop mopping and cleaning the floors. I am a neatnik and he is a pack rat.

Night before last, I didn’t sleep a wink, but last night I had a good deep sleep. Hallelujah!

The car is at the gas station today for maintenance and a new set of tires. Another thing to check off the list. Meanwhile, no door has been found to replace the one that got damaged in a parking lot.

Next on the list for me is getting the seasonal shots. I’m getting them one at a time. Last year, I felt awful after a combination covid and flu jab.

Nothing spiritual about this except to repeat, “Hallelujah!”
