Trust me I know how very lucky I am. Though I don't advertise it I do have health issues that prompted me to get the housekeeper in the first place. I have Rhematoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and a heart condition that I will be getting fixed with a pacemaker/Difib combo in Dec. I have also had 11 knee surgeries in the past few years. But that is really here nor there.
As far as time goes I wish I had alot of time. I work full time and also volunteer with animal rescues plus what I have at my own house for rescues. I still have my son at home and right now with the issues he has been bringing into our house time is tight. We are in the process of building our final forever home and again that is a time sapper too, and hopefully will be done in Nov. Though I will admit I do enjoy a good manicure and pedicure once in awhile
Mudpuppy I am very sorry you are having to go through chemo I have had family members who have done it and I know how very tough it must be for you. I hope everything works out and you get to feeling better soon.
The site that allinaugust posted sounds great I hope they can do something for you. If not maybe you can find a individual like I did. I watched the ads in the paper and found my person. I called her and we talked and decided what kind of service I was looking for then it just kind of progressed from there as the years went on. Her and I have become friends and if I am home on days she is there I will jump in and help, we chit chat and have coffee and I actually enjoy it and she appreciates the help as well.
Anyways this post has become bigger than I intended so i'll just close now.
