housekeeper update

So that's it. Former housekeeper is cut off. She returned my key to my coworker (who also let her go) but she absconded (I love that word) with our check. I can sort of live with that because when she did clean, it was above and beyond her hourly rate - I was really getting a great deal for the past two years. But it is a sad way for our relationship to end, especially when I think about all of E's hand me downs in clothes and toys I passed on to her . . . but oh well, pishposh, right?
In the meantime, I decided to go with a local service that Marfie uses. They are at my house as I write this - cleaning the hell out of every nook and cranny. I have two people scheduled to be there for 4 hours - almost nothing can make me as happy as this. I can't wait to walk in the door tonight.
And Tall House, Double Cup returns from Costa Rica tonight - hurrah!

I guess that this means the Manny is not good enough for the job anymore. It was just use him for as long as necessary then toss him.
