Title stolen from "The Money Pit".
After years of being disabled and then a month of being almost completely brdridden I am living in a trash filled, cluttered, dump.
I've been up for 5 days and made my "to do" list for my home this morning. I started with the living room and might not even get that done properly. I know I can't. I haven't even finished sweeping and I ache all over and want to cry. Its not just sweeping. Its picking up the trash, moving furniture, and all the gross surprises I find when I do.
Jessalynn was right that my house is disgusting but I am still right to feel that her observations should have only been directed at Me. I feel outraged that I have TWO healthy adults living with me who I almost completely support and my home is what it is.
I still get that feeling of Karma. The horror and shame I felt when I went to take care of my dying mother and saw the filth she had been living in. I might be just destined to end my days in filth. I'm not Ever going to not be disabled and my condition is only getting worse as I age. Every hope I have had to fix this was a false hope. When I took in Jami and Kirk last year, let thrm build a room for themselves in the basement they said they would help. Were horrified no one else helped me. And then they did nothing. Didn't even clean up after themselves. Let dishes mold downstairs until most had to be thrown away and replaced. I know. Was foolish to hope they would be any different than all the other times I took them in. I once hoped Keetra would at least be someone I could pay to help me but her addiction made her unable to even help herself. I have No One else, can't afford to hire help and actually would be embarassed to let hired help see my home. I bet it would cost hundreds to have a maid service dig this out!!
Karma.
