Just Pass Me By

Oh so cold, I woke up last night and had to turn up the heat. Normally I do not need to turn up the heat once we get the apartment to the right temp. It has been warm lately and we got hit with a cold snap. Living in Minnesota can be a challenge during the winter for people like me who do not get to go out to much because of Asthma. I am used to this being a problem, at least I have a work out room near me apartment and can get their with out to many problems. The main problem is during winter sometimes the house can be unhealthy because of in door allergens I am used to this.

We have sprung a leak under our sink, I wonder how long it been leaking because it starting to smell musky down there. So I am pretty sure there is some mold or something growing under the sink. That aught to be fun to clean up. Mold is always hard, I know a bleach solution works sometimes, I wonder how well Pine sol would do. The only thing I used the water for is cleaning dishes, running the dishwasher and some cooking. I do not drink the water, I don’t drink any tap water. A few years ago I got a parasite from a rest stop in WI, maybe WI rest stops should do a Phase I environmental test or something.

Minnesota normally has okay drinking water, but I just don’t much are for the taste of the tap water here. I am not sure what it is maybe I am used to Washington Tap water, but not sure there is any difference between the water. All tap water is filters. I ran out of water so I did the Honey can you please go to the store and get me water. Nice thing about being married, you can always ask hubby to help you out. Since he knows I don’t do well in winter he is more then happy to help. I miss summer

I have been talking about my husband parents a lot lately, I have been worried about them because of some of their so called friends. Dad and mom would give the shirt off of their back if they needed to and they never really complain, when people are taking advantage of them or maybe they just don’t realize it. There are a few things I need to talk to mom and dad about and let them know what happening is not okay.

My husband parents has a couple of neighbors who have moved a few miles away from them, and have only been known for about a year if I am not mistaking if that. my husband and I over the summer meet this family and both felt uneasy with them being around. They claim they are coming over to help mom and dad, cook meals and help clean. Well it seems they cook meals for their family along with mom and dad using mom and dads food I am not sure how much help that is, they are on a fixed budget. When they make a mess they leave it for our other neighbor to clean it, who has graciously offered to help mom and dad with house work and cooking.

This neighbor who has been helping mom and dad with making meals, cleaning, and laundry, has brought to our attention something that concerns all of us. Another family who claims they are helping mom when they are over if  mom lays down on her fold out coach, this girl goes and lays and mom and dad’s mattress. I thought they were over there to help clean, cook  and not to take a nap. If mom isn’t on the coach then she in her bedroom and low and behold you will find this person on the coach when mom is resting.

I am not saying, I have a problem with this person being quiet, but if she there to take care of mom and dad then shouldn’t she be actually working. I thought if you made a mess you clean it up and help mom and dad with what they need done around the house and not leave it up to another person to clean.
