Help needed
(Written by Becky)
So… Mom is going through a rough patch – low energy, chronic pain, etc. That means a few things: she’s not eating well because she doesn’t have the strength or energy to prepare stuff. And it also means that John Richmond doesn’t eat well, either. When he’s tired, he just gets junk to eat most days.
I’d like to do more cooking for them and was wondering two things: Would anyone like to take over cleaning their bathrooms for me? They have three bathrooms. The one in their room needs cleaning once a week and the other two are rarely used and I just swish the toilets quickly and clean every other week. You can do it any day of the week you want and I’ll get you a key.
Also, if you’re cooking and want to drop off leftovers for Dad, feel free! Just don’t bring him anything that needs eating that day incase he already has plans. Something that will last a day or two in the fridge, maybe with directions written on the foil? If you’re interested, I can give you ideas on getting food to him, either by dropping off at home or at his office. Mom’s diet is so restrictive and she can’t eat anything you bring Dad, but if others help me feed him, I can concentrate more on her diet.
Also, anything that can be frozen for Dad would be awesome, too, likeĀ chiliĀ or a lasagna. That way, if he gets too much at a time, he can spread them out. If response to this request is really high, I’ll start an online meal sign-up like we did last year.
Let me if you can help. Thanks!

Becky, I can’t cook this week but I can make double batches of things in another week and either have Ray bring them over or I can.

Thanks so much, Ruth! A special someone has volunteered to clean the bathrooms once a week and my cousin continues to vacuum. So now I can concentrate on food. And any time anyone has something to drop off for Dad means I can concentrate more on Mom’s diet. At best, something frozen with directions for heating on foil or at least something that will last a day or two in fridge incase he has plans the day you give him something. Home or office are both fine for hand-offs. Thanks!

Wish I could help. If there is anything you need long distance let me know.
