The Pilgrim's Progress.

The Pilgrim’s Progress

Yesterday, | officially divested myself of

the personal care workers who would

come three times a week and change
my bed and make sure | didn’t go
ass-over-tea-kettle in the shower.

| am now officially on my own, except for
Heather, of course. This gives us a hell of
a lot more flexibility during the week to
run around and do the stuff we have to
do to be good consumers.

But more importantly, it's another step
toward being able to totally take care of
myself. The girls who came were
wonderful and | got to know them quite
well. But that’s all done, and the next big
challenge will be getting down to the
basement so | can use my sauna. Health

Doing the Shrimp Gumbo Mambo, Big Easy-style
