This week was a lot like last week.

The mold in Mom’s house has been remediated. They had to treat it twice, but it’s done now. While treating the mold, they hang plastic floor to ceiling curtains to contain the infected areal. Because Mom’s bedroom was isolated, they used curtains with zippers so Mom could get in and out of her bedroom. They took the curtains down Saturday. Mom no longer has to crawl through two zippered slits to get from her bedroom to the rest of her house. That was quite an operation for her, managing her walker and zippers at the same time. I hope they will be patching up her wallboard this week.

Monday Danita and I will view a couple of apartments at Charlestown, bringing Mom in by Zoom. If she likes what she sees, she might select her apartment. There’s a lot involved in the move. The folks at Charlestown are telling us we shouldn’t expect her to move before July.

Danita is making good progress on emptying Bud’s old apartment. I went down with her this week and packed two boxes of glasses — wine glasses, brandy snifters, Manhattan glasses, water glasses, shot glasses, and many more for which I have no idea of their purpose. That’s two heavy boxes for Goodwill. I plan to go down with her this week to start shuttling stuff to Goodwill. We won’t be done this week, but we should be done the week after. Her other project is getting all of Bud’s sheets, towels, and clothing labeled. She’s labeling sheets today. Bud has two very large china closets in the apartment. No charities will take them because they are too big. We will be to using 1-800-GotJunk.

You may recall that bolts came loose, causing my new trike fell apart under me a week or so ago. I had to take it to the shop to readjust the gears. I was able to test my bike ramp. I actually can put the bike in the car by myself. After all that, I have decided it’s not wise to ride the trike up the steepest hills. I re-routed my hilly ride to avoid the most “interesting” hills. It’s a sad but wise thing to do. My last trike project is to find a way to carry a moderate load of stuff so I can ride the trike to the store.

That’s the news for this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
