OMG! We had a stair basket just for this purpose... I was so passive-agressive and let stuff pile up in it - nobody noticed. at. all.
the Holderness family is the best. I loved watching them on the Amazing Race!

One year we went to the beach for a week. Each family member had kitchen duty for the whole -planned all the meals, put the ingredients on the shopping list, shopped as a family, made the food, cleaned up. The last day was leftovers. Best vacation ever!
I know you are not asking about vacation, but having someone plan and cook and clean was the best!

Atlanta - dd graduated with advertising degree in 2022 and is making over 60K with great benefits. She only goes in the office once a week so can afford more in housing.
my husband has offered 130K to engineering/computer software grads from GA tech and has hard time getting anyone to take that 'low' of a salary.... (with benefits and 4 weeks of vacation)

Let us know how it goes.. I am not familiar with Audible Plus.

that stinks but hopefully you can make it fun! Make a big pot of chili a few days before, pick up the toppings, some chips and snack, and drinks. hubby and kids clean up. Enjoy your birthday!

I have been seeing "coming soon" for listings. Eager buyers and realtors can get a sneak peek, knowing that the house is 'not ready' - you might want to ask your realtor if your area does that.
When we moved, I hired a few students, who I knew were hard workers, to come and move boxes into the U-Haul and then into the storage area. I think you could find a few young people that you could hire to pack; you would have to train them. Even just making the boxes takes a lot of your time. They could pack clothes and non-breakable stuff. Just an idea.
Good luck!

Call the doctor. In the meantime, you can try to ice. Put the ice behind your knee if your foot is too sensitive. I am sorry you are in pain.

You can do it! Removing 1/2 the stuff from each room makes a tremendous difference. Buy more packing supplies than you think you need, you can always return it later. There is nothing wrong storing all the boxes in the garage.
Dust, vaccuum, touch up paint and close the door to that room. Get fresh flowers and a new doormat for the front door. Make sure the cobwebs are removed from your front porch or entry way; people spend a lot of time while the realtor fools with the key. I baked bread the morning of the showings - smelled so good but not sweet. Turn on all the lights and open the blinds. - You will have that baby sold in three days!

Call 911 - you can also sustain an injury helping her get back up. If you are feeling compassionate, you can go and be there with 911 to let them in so they don't break the door open.

Is he working during the summer? If so, encourage him to put 1/2 of his earnings in savings for freshman year. He can get a job over the long Christmas break. I would also have look into temp work - working an occasional Saturday night for a caterer or landscaper on the weekend; maybe helping people move. He will have to figure out how to get in with these employers - somebody is tapping into the college kid labor force. If he has a car, he can also find a few yards to cut and rake on Saturdays in the fall. He will earn a lot more money this way vs working on campus.

A good friend said that this made all the difference for him, but not for his daughters. (he saw the trauma; they heard about it and they all lived with it)

I have narrow and long feet (11 N) and they just don't fit, and the arch does not fit right.

I am always scrabbling at the last minute and have no idea how I am standing.

That sounds beyond frustrating. I would state that if another picture ends up on social media, it will be the last one they get.

For me - it has a lot to do with an aching body, not as fast reaction times... just getting an older body.

And (or what I have been told) if something happens with your flight, etc.. they will help you work things out.

I wear a lot of dresses that are breezy and don't touch me. I hate the summer heat and humidity.

When we had little kids, if the drive is less than 8, I would not even bother looking at flights. But now that it is just the two of us, I have started looking at flights.

You can take a picture of her home and have it transformed into a water color using an app. I did this for my inlaws - they cried. (we printed it a fed-ex and bought a frame at Hobby Lobby so easy)

can you soak in a tub or swim slowly in a pool? I know that gives me temporary relief.
Hoping you can get some answers?

Charleston and Savannah are both charming and great outdoor spaces to just walk around and take it in. Downtown Beaufort is also charming - much smaller, but that might be more manageable with everything.
What else would your kids like to do? A zoo would be safe - there is a zoo in Columbia, SC. Not a great one... I don't think you will be driving by Greenville, SC, but that is also really nice and has a small zoo. All doable in a day.
So sorry you are going through this.

I was once asked to lie to parents at a school where I taught. I quit my job. (I was fortunate enough to be able to do so)
Which would you be ok giving up?

pool
dining room - if there is enough space for a big table somewhere else.
