I saw a Dear Readers style letter over at another blog and decided that it was a great concept that I could use for a weekly MEME so here we go the Sunday Dear Readers. You can participate at your blog easy as pie. Just make a post to your readers on Sundays and drop us a link back.
Dear Readers,
A day late and a dollar short? Actually for once I am not a dollar short. I am getting the bills paid this week and I might have an extra dollar or two for myself. Now before you ask no my money tree didn’t mature, hubby just had a good two weeks. I sold some graphic designs from my new website, and a kitty went to a new home. So over all that spells good things for Ye Olde bills.
Today’s belated Dear Readers is going to be a little bit long. Sorry for that. Have any of you my dear readers watched Hoarders? Or Intervention? I have to say the shows are both heart breaking. I watched two episodes of Hoarders this morning, and I couldn’t believe this one woman. Her house was so bad her children had been taken from her. The court said she needed to clean the house, and get mental help for her hoarding. That she needed to do these things to get her children back.
So the woman had the team from hoarders come in. They are there to help. The whole way/. The woman picks and chooses and hardly gets rid of anything. Eventually she leaves ad they toss most of it. But In the end she still had over 1,400 boxes of stuff. I just I cant fathom that. I am not a great house keeper myself. I do have clutter. But I don’t have 1,400 boxes worth of stuff. While my house is cluttered you can see the surfaces you can move freely. You don’t sleep on piles of stuff and my kitties get around just fine.
I know hoarding is a disease but I just can’t fathom choosing all of that stuff over your kids. Or the fact that there is literally a ton of garbage around the house. Clutter is one thing garbage is another. I do understand they need help But I wish the professionals would be more forceful. Because when someone won’t help themselves it’s my personal feelings that sometimes you just need to push them the rest of the way. But I guess that is my thought on the matter.
Intervention just makes me sad. To see what has happened to these people who are in the grips of drugs. To see how low they have spiraled. Right now they are doing a follow-up episode and they have a girl named Allison on who used in halants. She took the keyboard duster and inhaled it. First of all that’s sad because you can buy those legally. Second of all it’s just sad. One thing I am curious is that she had a nice apartment, and she bought up to 10 cans of the inhalant a day. She didn’t appear to work. Where was she getting the money? Stealing I suppose but from the appearance her family gave her the money. Talk about enabling. Major enabling.
But I think I Have talked your ears off a lot today. My apologies on being so late. I didn’t do much of anything yesterday. I was down with my sickness again. I hate being sick (I know I have said that before) but there is a time when you just sigh and say I am sick of being sick. This week was one of those weeks. And it was also a week where I wanted to just stay in bed and do nothing all week. Let the sick have me. But I didn’t. I got a few things done. Especially my graphic design website Lady Ambrosia Creations, which I am proud of.
I truly am proud of opening up the blog design store. And the designs I have done so far I am very proud of as well. I think they are all showing great progress and I look forward to each one I get to do. I hope my give away is a success and that when the winner is pulled they enjoy their end result.
Have a wonderful Belated Sunday.
Sincerely,
