[BlindTlk] House cleaning

[Judy Jones]

Actually, I borrowed it from someone else, but it is spot on.

Thank you.

Judy

What a beautifully said and concrete way to explain things. I had never really thought it’s through that much. Because we see things backwards from the side of the world maybe that’s why they don’t get us. Can I steal your concept Judy? Just in case I need to explain something you know.

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.
