 My landlord's daughter in law (who lives downstairs,) had to use our phone to call her hubby. She had locked herself out of the apartment by accident while doing laundry down cellar. Her two babies (In 2 separate playpens,) were in the apartment all alone and she was frantic! I apologised for the mess and she knows that I work 2 jobs, but STILLLLLLL......  I am worried that she'll tell her husband and father in law. My LL is very picky about the house. This could get ugly. I have to clean clean clean today and I'm sick on top of it. 3G

Thanks Timetochange. There isn't anyone to help as my sig other is seriously ill and has all he can do to do dishes or do the prep work when we cook. One friend has bronchitis, and the other is very arthritic and tires easily. (She's in her 70's.) I was off sat, & sun and am off today. I have been doing de-cluttering all weekend and did more today after she used the phone. I have been posting on WITS on the Listzilla thread. I have put away a LOT of clothes, and 5 jackets. A big box was tossed, and there's more to go out yet, as trash pick up is tomorrow. I only have today, as tomorrow I have to take DSO for a MRI, and then go to work untill 9pm. Back to it! 3G  |

You have sympathy from a sick squalor sib (pneumonia/pleurisy) who still has to get holiday baking done by tomorrow, among other chores that cannot wait.

Messymimi, I hope you feel better soon. Try not to overdo. Thanks Positivelypickles. The problem is, that what you see when you first walk into my apartment is my dining room, and right across from the door that you walk in, we have a new gas stove waiting to be put in. It has been there for a year because we are trying to de-clutter before calling someone to install it. We live in a 95-100 year old apartment building, (A three decker,) with three apartments, one on top of the other. The kitchenette is tiny, and to replace the stove we have to take out the refrigerator first, get it out of the way, then take out the old stove and toss it. THEN we can put in the new stove!  Besides that, we have boxes and bins stacked against one wall, and a few boxes in other places as well. There's no place to put them in the apartment. They need to be put in the attic or donated, but that must wait untill I have time to go through them first. Time is my worst enemy. (Next to myself!  ) I have been working six to eight day stretches at my primary job with no days off, because 2 of my co-workers had surgery. There's only 4 of us to begin with, and the part time person works another full time job. It has been a NIGHTMARE! I also work a second job part time, which I have been taking a few days off from, and just working 1 day a week there. Sorry to be so wordy, but this is why my place is not maintained. Some of you remember Kitrin from SS, who also worked a huge amount of hours and was having trouble keeping up with the house. We always had that in common, and I felt badly for her trying to move and work so much at the same time. In fact she inspired me when I moved a year later. I know it's unusual to have 2 jobs in this economy, but it is not an option for me to leave either one. If my Boyfriend dies from this illness, I may not be able to stay here. Financially and emotionally, I am drained.  Well, no time to cry; I need to get back to cleaning. Be back later. 3G

Great big hugs! . Keep going. If she does say something you can explain how you and your DSO have been ill and things got a bit out of hand, but you are working on it. Hopefully he has some compassion. |

Thanks Messyshell. I did do a lot in the dining room today. You can read about it in the WIT thread in Listzilla. I put tons of stuff away, hung up 5 jackets, and made a lot of room by clearing all around the dining room table. It still looks messy, but not half as bad as before. I have Wednesday off, and will do more then.
Tomorrow I have to bring my boyfriend to have a MRI, then work after that untill nine pm. Wish us luck. 3G

If you were kind enough to allow your landlord's DIL to use your phone, and she repays you by reporting your mess, that would be pretty low!

Thanks everyone. You don't know how much your support means to me. We don't know the results of the MRI yet, but will call his doctor Thursday, as he called and asked us to. (He is off Wednesday.) My DSO does live with me. If the time comes that he needs home care, we will cross that bridge when we come to it. This is a horrible day for so many people. My sister Purple who hasn't posted in a while, is going for an angioplasty tomorrow. Her DSO who was a recovering alcoholic started drinking today for some unknown reason. She is worried that he will continue and she will have to watch him die just like I watched my late Hubby die. My best friend of almost 35 years also is stressed as her son had a heart attack and MRSA, and was released to go home today, PLUS her 51 yr old daughter had a heart attack yesterday! My DSO's ex has advanced cancer, and the doctor told her daughter today that she will die from it. Her youngest daughter called me at work tonight, crying and sobbing and needing comfort. I wanted to go to her, but I was at work. I am sooo drained, and upset that I will not be able to go see my sister as it is snowing hard and my car is a junk. She lives 70 miles away where it is snow central, and the ice is an inch thick underneath it. All I can say is   . 3G |
