Came in for a break. I just spent 2 hours weed-whacking around a neighbor's house. My shoulders are toast so some electrolytes and serious water are in the making. I need a better harness for the whacker! Done...!

You got it. I'm up for one.
I called in my nephew and his girlfriend to come to Mom's house and help me. It started raining so I put them to work sweeping and mopping floors and washing the exterior sides of doors. We're meeting up at 6 to cut up the deck scrap into manageable lengths to get in the truck to take to the dump on Tuesday. I predict 4 runs to the dump do clear everything out.

Oh. I forgot to mention. I've hired a lady to stay with DH for 3 hours a day when I'm working. She has experience as a care giver for dementia patients and I got her name from a friend who's grandmother she cared for. She's great. She starts Tuesday. Her name is Nan.
Why did I decide to start? DH isn't drinking water during the day and his hand cramped up one night. I think being dehydrated would very negatively affect cognitive function.
He also ate the dogs veggies one day. Their veggies were Brussels sprout butts, cucumber, carrot and sweet potato peels chopped up and the pithy section of a zucchini cut up and everything steamed. Gag! So he's starting to concern me with his diet.
Nan will eat her lunch with DH and make sure he drinks at least 20 oz of water when she's here, help him do his chores that he wants to do, play simple card games with him, maybe watch 1/2 hour of a show (I have The Prisoner cued up for them!), take him for walks up the road, and I told her if she needed to run errands to take him with her in his truck to do so. She also asked, "what can I do for you?" Anything she does to keep the house in order by the time I get home will be great.

Naturally! I've taken you all on this renovation journey with me. I think it would be downright rude not to show the finished product!
