Did not rain, and around 4:15 the sun came out. Robin, that is just too sad that family members are not bothering to check on their mom/aunt/etc. Guess they MAY think if they do, they will end up being the one who takes her weekly to shop. Am sure she misses you. Perhaps they could take turns?? Glad you called her, bless your heart.
One thing I do miss Kris, is being able to hang clothes outside. When I lived in Illinois, hung ropes on our back porch (3rd floor apt.) , and after I was married, and we bought a house, had the line in the back yard. However, when we moved up here, discovered right away that the flies, gnats, spiders, ticks etc., end up getting in the sheets and clothes, thus into the house.......and only took a time or two and that was the end of outdoor drying. Had to inspect everything very very carefully before taking down, folding and bringing inside.
Truly, tho, nothing like the smell of sheets hung to dry outside.
Kat, sorry you have to wait so long before getting that carpet out. Am sure you are keeping windows open to help with the smell. Everything gets so moldy so quickly in hot weather. You did get that leak fixed, right?
It is really hard when you live alone & something happens. Heck, I had so many ceiling lights that went out, and I cannot do ladders tho I have a big one. Closets, utility room. finally called the manager and asked if he could suggest who I could call to change all the bulbs. he came himself and did it, would take any money (shoved it in his pocket anyway). Then my son was here & came over to replace the 4 kitchen lights which were out. I was using lights over dining table (kitche adjoins dining with no wall between) plus living room light to see in kitchen. LOL. Yep, one makes do. My daughter was here in June and notes a bulb out in garage, so replaced it. I did not even realize there were TWO bulbs in garage. LOL
