[Blindtlk] Keeping House Independently

[Diane Vlasoff]

By the way I think you're coming we did judgmental. I don't understand why you need to be that way.

I often use voice dictation. If I have there's likely to be mistakes. I apologize up front.

LOL I wouldn't want one because this thing can't tell the difference between a piece of paper sack or anything else. It's just bumps into things. I can bump into things and eat socks with my vacuum cleaner plus good exercise. Why be that lazy?

It comes from reading too much Stephen King, because I keep imagining it turning itself on in the night and chasing me around my condo! Or just sitting by my bed staring at me. Yep, too much Stephen King.

From my perspective I bought a Rumba because I had to two dogs,  a  guide dog and a retired dog and two cats in the house and I wanted to vacuum my house a minimum of once a day preferably twice and I didn't want to take the time to do that. So the Rumba was an absolutely fabulous solution for me. Find out what you're comfortable with and go for it.

I used to have someone come in once a month just to help with things I may have missed, but I am debating whether to do this still or not. I did get some rehab training with cleaning, but I am not the best at it. My main hangup is using a broom, as I just can’t figure out how it is done. I just invested in a Swiffer so I hope that helps.
