So I have to be careful this time.

Yeah you really do.

you need help

Not you.. LOL but you need some people to shoulder the burden

Maybe I can get my daughters to pop in once a week, too

I'm no spring chicken, either

oh that is a good idea

How would your mom do with a "stranger" helping out?

That is usually tough for them

They were devastated when Dad died.

Mom doesn't mind strangers helping out.

Her apartment was a mess yesterday.

oh that is good

I had no idea.

It was about three days since I had been there

How was it a mess?

just stuff everywhere? or

She couldn't bend down to pick stuff up, so things were on the floor

ohhh

Garbage wasn't taken downstairs

dishes not done

Is there supposed to be someone that helps with that?

So I cleaned it up and said I'd be back tonight.

She has a cleaning lady that comes on Tuesdays, I think

But she's not supposed to have to do all that stuff.

yeah she probably tries though

Hard to let someone else take over and help with everything

Probably not so much for my mother

My Dad did a lot of the cleaning

Well, I am worried about you.. burning out.

I'll have to start doing the laundry, too.

But I can wash it when I first get there, put it in the dryer

and refresh and fold it the next day

I'm going to work on a plan where I get help

I'm not good at asking or accepting help

But this is different

It's time for me to learn to do it

I've always had a hard time saying no when people ask me to do stuff, too

<:PepeHug:539084298083500041>

I learned how to do that here at work. LOL

about time.
