They were to be left in the tender loving care of my husband who had agreed to work from home, with the retired sitter (read: saint) kindly stopping by whenever OH would need a breather.
(Rinse and repeat, as I anticipating a fair amoung of 'eldercare' travel necessary in the coming year.)
Glück in Unglück, my flight was cancelled so I'm still here, and OH is not being distracted by the Muttley Crew as he works his fingers to the bone to earn their biscuit allowance.
Still looking for that holy grail, a responsible, reliable, experienced sitter who can provide 'special needs' care. I've scoured the length and breadth of Switzerland, there simply is no one here willing or able to do the job. I'm currently trying to figure out what it would take permit-wise to bring someone from the US over here to take over while I fly over there.
Now that is the mother of all FWPs.   | | The following 3 users would like to thank meloncollie for this useful post: | |

Some poorly developed google algorithm has automatically rejected some of my adverts on policy grounds.
It believes my pictures of dogs wearing harnesses does not conform to their policy banning half naked pictures. | | The following 5 users would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

Was offloading the dishwasher, both racks in full view. And then i had an innocent morning sneeze - i could see parts of my sneeze flying off and landing all over the cups and plates.
Stood by the open dishwasher for a few good seconds staring at crockery in disbelief...  |

I suffered from heatburn lately, a thing totally unknown to me before.
I love eating bread straight from the oven.
I bake bread often lately.
