Yes, I am sure we all have our stories.I guess we have been lucky so when there is this drastic instablility, we take it harder. Its tough all the way around.

It sounds as though you've had a very frustrating few weeks. I occasionally had domestic help before I retired, but now I do nearly everything except for the windows; I hate cleaning them, because they always end up streaky. Window cleaners are scarce and they charge a fortune. Thanks for visiting my blog.

These ups and downs with the staffers is so common. Our Narain had a stomach ache, showed him to the doctor who pronounced it colitis, and who gave him a ten day course. He rang up his father, who came down the same day, stayed back even before the medication was properly taken, and took him back on the eighth day, saying that his son would not heal until he went to the village healer, and he was adamant.

Thanks sam444
You are so right. Ithas been overwhelming. Slowly, things are coming back to normal. Though I don't know what normal is anymore. Maybe there is no normal?

benzinha, you naughty thing!
I knew you would say something nasty. But, its true. I am writing a longer piece on this and while I was doing so, felt that this is SOOOOO self indulgent and upper class. But, its not. Its terribly middle class here. And, it is our story, so why pretend it isn't, right?
I'd like to think that I can do everything myself, but I can't. It's the art of delegation, trust and sharing.

Ah, the trials and tribulations of the leisure classes. Heheheheheheh
Or semi-leisurely, huh?? I sure could use some help around here, but it is exhausting to teach someone new. I would rather suffer as is.
