This was a demanding week

[wiseheart]

So, we survived the talkative chiropodist lady, too. Her newest pattern being to ask if she could watch her favourite TV-series after she was done with us, since she wouldn't manage to get home for it in time. Mum said yes, of course, because what could she say after twenty years of acquaintance? *shakes head* This was the second time that woman did this. But finding a chiropodist who does good work and is willing to make house calls isn't easy.

I started another teddy bear, following the TEDI Teddy pattern, only using a much softer, more pliable fabric. I think it will look better that way. We'll see. I've sewn on all the little details; the plan is to save the front and back panels together tomorrow.

Not much else happened. We were both exhausted after this morning; Mum's knee was bothering her so much we barely managed to go to the edge of the building and back on our afternoon walk. I made Topfenknödel for lunch and called H. to see how she's doing, then I took a nap. Tomorrow I'll have to do the shopping again; I hate doing it on Saturday, but there is no other choice right now.

That sounds exhausting to have her there longer while she watches her show, but yeah, finding someone good who does house calls (or anyone at all who does house calls, even, they're usually all booked with their regulars as I've been learning the hard way) is a giant pain. So you need to keep that relationship, small annoyances or not. Alas.

Very true.

I'm guessing the chiropodist doesn't have streaming?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Neither have we. Plus, she lives in one of the outlying villages and it usually takes her an hour and a half to get home.

{hugs} Yes I would find that annoying, but if you need her to come... what do you do?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I can’t drag Mum to a salon.

OMG! And she can't walk and work, either.

Yay another bear!

Glad you got a walk, though.

You have to play the cards you are dealt. There aren't any other ones.

I'm glad Mum made it at least to the end of the building. At her age it's still a 'win'.

Her bad knee always suffers worse for days after chiropodist sessions. :((

That lady is a bit importunate, I'd say. But, of course, she knows that she is needed...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

And isn't particularly shy to use it for her advantage, either.

I guess she sees herself as a family friend, welcome to stay for TV! *lol*

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

She certainly seems to see it that way.
