Shaking my head

Well I am shaking my head around here totally.  With some folks swearing oh just call us and we will bring out what ya need for the house.  They are not here at all with a phone call.  I got my mile walk in this morning and stopped for lunch out also while I was at it.  Life must go on with or without people around here helping me out around the house, that swore up and down they would help out.  So I pretty much knew that I had to do without some folks around here and I will hit up someone else to help me at the dollar store when they get here this afternoon totally.  I will say this about the whole thing of today is that I have been going at it all on the cheap for the household totally this week and that is how I like it.  I have also made some folks mad while I have been at it around here.  The power bill for 2 months here at the household came out to be $127.60 and that is with the 2 room a/c units going and about 7 loads in the dryer also.  I can laugh at this time here since I have done most of the cutting myself here for the power bill to say the least.  I do what I can for the week while I am alone and that helps out alot for the household.  I guess this is what some people do not understand at all here in what I am doing.  Since I do have the power strips for most of the electronics and other things for the household to turn everything off during the day here it works out fairly well on my part.  I also turn things off at the peak hours also for the power company to freak out on here at the household.  I figure why bother with some things that suck the power up and cause a huge bill for the place totally.  I guess this is why I have the drying racks in place of the dryer for laundry days and still turn off things that are not needed at all.  With this week I have learned alot here in the household also while I have been at it.  In what I have learned so far is that it is ok to let the house work pretty much fall to the side and sleep for most of the day here along with that I have not been drinking to cut the pain also here.  That pretty much intertwines with the folks that have been ignoring me here saying that oh we will be over if and when you need anything when they could care less about if I am totally out of something or need something done here also.  And fair is fair when they need me from now on I will say no from now on to prove a point that what is good for one then it is good for the other also in other folks books totally.  So now that I have learned also is that I can not depend on some people nomatter what still here and I have to do on my own for the place and myself totally without questions at all.  Again I was asked today in how I was going to manage the next several weeks from the neck surgery here and I told people that I can manage but very slowly to get things done around here also.  I do what I can when I can and that is all I can do to help myself and the household at this point in time.  With alot of the housework here it can wait untill I have the help to get it all done for the weekend here.  That is the honest truth about it.  Now also for some of the stuff I have to wait untill my Husband comes home to help me out on here.  So some of the stuff I have to wait on nomatter what I do for the place and trust me I am one of the hard butts on keeping some things clean for the household totally.  I will get to the crummy bathroom this next week I hope and see what I can do for that room since some do not like to clean that room them selves at all.  And yes that will be done on the cheap side also while I am at it.  This is why I picked up and went this morning knowing that some just do not care in what is falling apart here in the household at all.  As I told someone yesterday over the phone the one doctor did not tell me I could not walk at all here and just not to drive nor get in the car for the week.  We both started laughing and took it from there.  So when you are down and out do not wait on anyone around to start to help when you ask them to.
