I've got me a good cleaning lady now! Her name is Cheryl, and she's mine--all mine. Well, mine and a few others, including my friend Lori.
Cheryl arrived at about 9:00 yesterday (Linda never got here before 11:30 or 12:00) and was here until almost 2:00, working her little butt off the entire time. (It was rare that Linda stayed for more than an hour, and she took several cigarette breaks during that time.) I heard no moans or groans (Linda came in the door complaining of her physical ailments, God bless her). And when Cheryl left, my house was clean! (When Linda left, she usually stirred up a trail of dust in her wake.)
I guess you can tell that I'm overjoyed with the quality of my new cleaning lady's work. Thank you, Loribelle. I owe you one.

Cheers for Cheryl and for Loribelle's generosity in sharing such a gem as Cheryl!!
I am reminded of a couple of lines from what I read this morning:
"When we work well, a Sabbath mood
Rests on our day, and finds it good."
"X" by Wendell Berry, from The Writer's Almanac, Nov. 1. 2012
Hugs!

I'm glad for you--and jealous, of course.

I've had a similar experience this year and I am so happy to have a 'Cheryl' in my life now! She charges a bit more but she stays until the work is finished and really gets us tidied up and clean! And, our dogs like her so that speaks volumes!!! So glad you found a keeper!

OK...we are spoiled by your regular blogs and get concerned when you let days go by without some news...is everything alright with you and yours?

I have had a cleaning service for several months and it has been a life saver. Two ladies come for 2 hours. My home is sparkling when they leave. They come every 2 weeks.
I am glad you have someone to help you. It is just too hard when your body hurts most of the time.
