Gabe, I like your solution! Wish I could do the same, hire someone to come in occasionally. But, alas, a fixed and very limited income requires me to do my own thing: I do what I can, then do my best to ignore what I can't!
Works OK for me as long as no one drops in to visit!
Shari, I hope you're doing well, and finding your own personalized solutions to this dificult and aggravating disease we live with.
Hugs,
