[BlindTlk] House cleaning

[Judy Jones]

Ah!  Very good idea

Another thing to think about.  All of us miss spots or areas, sighted people do to.

The difference lies in how we detect what is around us.

In building concepts, the sighted person takes in an area as a whole, viewing through the eyes all at once, then focuses in on the details.

As blind persons, in building concepts, we use the details to piece together into the whole, just the opposite.  For a sighted person to police an area, all they have to do is look around, then focus in.  For us, to police an area we have to systematically check an area.

Don’t give up! You can do this. You are doing a better job than you think I’m guessing. Some people are just so OCD about dirt you’ll never meet their standards. I don’t know how text savvy you are but if you have AIRA  on your phone they will help you without disrespecting you.

Now even when I do clean no matter how much I sweep or mop, when I ask a sighted person or they come and look they tell me there’s always some thing I missed or that it doesn’t look quite as clean. So sometimes I just don’t even try anymore because it seems like no matter how hard I try it isn’t good enough.
