It<\/strong> is very nice having someone come to the apartment once a week to do the things I don’t want to do, but the young lady that does, seems to have a mind of her own.\u00a0 I don’t know if she is into energy conservation, or just wants to pester me.<\/p>\n

I have little green dots on the washer and dryer to show her which settings to use, but she insist on using what she wants to use.\u00a0 I want my clothes double-rinsed and she does not.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I come home, the settings are thus:\"\"<\/a>I have a small Turkish lamp in my bathroom that stays on 24\/7.\u00a0 It never gets shut off, except by her.\u00a0 I even removed the switch so she wouldn’t shut it off, but then she just unplugs it.\u00a0 Below is what the lamp looks like in the evening:\"\"<\/a>And this is what it looks like before Camila:\"\"<\/a>And this is what it looks like after Camila:\"\"<\/a>And my bath mats get re-arranged.\u00a0 Below is what they look like before Camila:\"\"<\/a>… and after Camila:\"\"<\/a>Same with the pillow things I don’t want on the couch.\u00a0 Here is before Camila:\"\"<\/a>… and after Camila:\"\"<\/a>I could translate a note to her telling her to cut that crap out, but then it wouldn’t be fun putting things back.\u00a0 Some people would get upset and chastise her, but I have learned to see Life through Terese’s eyes; though minor, it’s just another interesting adventure.\u00a0 But I do need to tell her not to move the settings on the washer\/dryer.\u00a0 Sometimes she uses hot water, and I learned that destroys many of my shirts.<\/p>\n

– additional minor things to share.\u00a0 <\/strong>Remember the pickles?\u00a0 They came out well, except for being too salty.\u00a0 Still eatable, but I will have to locate a recipe for pickle juice that I can modify.<\/p>\n

Visit more next year.\u00a0 Happy New Year, etc. etc.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kick butt, D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
