Although, she only has access to whatever she can find and get approved by her supervisor to help Karl, and there are as many scam artists and sham businesses out there for persons with special needs as there are programs for training for the unemployed lately - willing to take training dollars from the state for faux work training and not really produce a whole lot of results.
In his absence, I went to work on Karl's room, cleaning and packing and getting ready to spackle and sand and then paint in order to FINISH another PROJECT and cross it off of my longstanding to-do list.
He returned home well after four o'clock, and he wasn't happy when he rounded the corner and saw empty shelves and 3 boxes lined up, and bare surface area on his floor and on the desk. Today will probably make him less pleased, but there's no turning back. I need to get this done.
Of course, it all would have gone faster yesterday had Cleo not been sick and suffering another blockage. There was a lot of lost time following the poor girl and cleaning up after her until the 'cork finally popped' (so to speak). Today, she has an appetite and is her twinkly, chirpy, stretchy little self again, but I will continue to watch and listen for her throughout the day...just in case. Today will consist of moving furniture, taking things out to the garage, vacuuming 'til the sucker busts and general prep work. Tomorrow, I will be up on a ladder, and then the real fun begins!
Wish me luck and think good thoughts. I am afraid of whatever may be lurking under things and in those corners! ;^)
