After more than 2 years of staying in this bigger house of mine, I am calling it quits! Enough of rushing frantically on a day when everyone is supposed to be relaxing or slowing down their pace or going to church. It's one chore after another. And by the end of the fourth chore, I'm drained! When I am drained, other things go chaotic (a different story perhaps on this..). Working from home doesn't mean I have to work 7/24. I need a deserved break too.
With my eczematic condition, the more I should be staying away from 'wet' house chores. Anyway, it's a mountainous task maintaining a clean and reasonably tidy and presentable house with only so few hands willing to chip in some energy. Thinking that it's easy to get help, I have asked my neighbour to give me the contact of her existing part-time domestic help. To my surprise, she's fully booked and can't accept more jobs. What!
There are dozens of cleaning services companies out there I can choose from, actually. But, no way, with news of cases of burglary or what not. No way am I going to let total strangers, especially those without any recommendation, to stay in my house for at least 4 hours. So, I have to rely on recommendation from people I know.
There's another contact which I can call. I've gotten hold of the number for about at least 2 weeks now. Too busy to call, I suppose. Sigh... procrastinating again. My hands can't wait.
