Or Day 173 Took Me To The Cleaners.
You know it has been a beast of a year with very few bright spots. Our family still chooses to isolate as much as possible to minimize the impact of exposures we can’t avoid, like Laura’s work duties. Something has to give. We won’t go to a restaurant. We don’t go to events of any sort unless we can isolate like at the Carrie Furnace Carpool Cinema.
But we’ve carved out some small indulgences.
1. Housekeeper. We’ve worked with SelfCare Housekeeping for awhile. Between Laura’s work schedule and my disability, this is an incredible investment in our quality of life. When they told us they were coming back, we were excited. There are tons of rules to keep everyone safe so Laura goes into her office on these days and I hole up in our bedroom with many cats. We open all of the windows, I wear a mask, they wear PPE and we comunicate via text. There’s no contact at all. We clean our bathroom ourselves. And by using this particular company, we create referral hours for other people.
2. Hello Fresh meal kits. We tried a few kits and liked them quite a bit. It’s a little under $50 for two meals for two and they stretch into leftovers to be a really good deal.
