Need your help

I'm swallowing my pride and asking for help in cleaning my house. Maybe local people here on Facebook will actually show up, not like those that I asked in person.

One person DID come out to clean, but he's allergic to dogs, and had to leave, a high school friend of Keith's, we've known each other for about 24 years. Another person was more than willing to help, but he ended up going to training out of state for his job. I just hope I'm asking after what was posted in the last few days, knowing that I probably will get help. :)

The more people, the faster this will go. I need the living room, under my bed, and the kitchen cleaned, at the minimum, but the entire house could use it.

The bedroom is the priority. I need under the bed cleaned so I can get the beds removed and replaced (they are adjustable beds and under warrenty). It may take two or three days to do it.

There is stuff on the floor, (I drop something and I can't pick it up. It's NOT as bad as the show "Hourders", but there is garbage on the floor. It really isn't that bad in traffic areas, I can get around in my wheelchair.

Once the hosue is cleaned, I will throw a party (I'll have the room to do it)! We have a HD projector and a screen hung on the wall with nearly 1000 DVD's to choose from, with a REALLY good stereo system! There is a list on my website (link will be provided in a future post), so people can get in their requests so I can make a viewing list. I figure we'll clean the house, and have a pot luck the days people come over to clean. It may take 3 weekends to do so. I won't be available until after the 3rd weekend in January, due to Rustycon to start this project, but I REALLY want my house cleaned.

One warning, I have a large dog. If you are allergic to dogs, do not even think of volunteering. You won't be able to deal with it... believe me. I appreciate the thought, but don't try. Please.

I mentioned to two groups that I know (one that I belong to, the other, (where I'm not a member due to their membership requirements), but with friends in both), that my house is a mess and that it needed cleaning and that I couldn't physically do it, and I could use some help while Keith was gone. Both groups offered to help clean my house. This was BEFORE Keith left. I did not mention this to Keith, as I wanted this to be a surprise for him. Well, it's now down to the wire, Keith will be home late tomorrow, and no one from either group has called to help me clean. A friend of Keith's also offered to clean, and we even set up a date and time, but he never showed. I left a message on his machine, but didn't hear back. I really needed someone to clean under our adjustable beds, so that the beds could be removed and replaced. It's not gonna happen now, unless Keith does it... and I have no idea when that will happen.

The beds are 10 years old, and we have 10 years still on the warrenty. The beds were installed improperly, which I just learned recently. I can probably get them replaced for free, if I get the beds replaced soon, but the bedroom has to be clean. I don't see how that's gonna happen now. I guess I really know who my friends are - or aren't. I do know, however, that one person would really have helped, but he's out of state, and unavailable, it's a shame that people offer to help and back out. A damn shame.

It took a lot for me to admit my house is a mess, and to ask for help and I get assurances that there would be help and now, kicked in the teeth. AGAIN. I say, again, because that's my life story. Every time I ask for help, I get figuratively kicked in the teeth, but I keep thinking things will be different the next time, and I gather up my courage and ask again. Well, no more. Never again. EVER.

I am seriously thinking of getting off Facebook due to this... why should I be here, when "friends" aren't "friends" at all, but just someone you know who says things that they don't mean? I'll go back to just doing my service dog stuff and being a virtual hermit. I was one this entire month, enduring my inlaws comements with no support where I could have said someone was coming over to help me. I guess I can get on the floor and pick up things, and stuggle to get into my wheelchair, being exhausted after only 10 minutes. Won't have time for Facebook, then, I'll be in bed, in pain, and trying to sleep. THAT won't happen either, as the sleep study isn't finished so no CPAP or BPAP yet. So, my sleep is very very disturbed... I sleep so deeply, that I do stop breathing and then I wake myself up. *sigh*

Decided to Start Blogging

I am very active on Facebook, but the wall only allows posts of 140 characters, and I am very prolific, so I decided to start a blog... there's also wanting to write about my feelings and what is going on in my life, that I want to share about my website, Service Dogs and More.

This blog will have service dog stuff, day to day stuff, a lot of Facebook stuff, and anything that I really want to talk about... kind of a catch-all. Things that are too long for my Facebook status... so if you're not on Facebook, you might be bored, as this will link up there.
