I'm sorry about Penny's condition that must be so hard on you
YOu know, it's really really worth it to hire a cleaning person for once a week. I'm sure that the time you spend trying to keep the house cleaned p takes a lot out of you, and away from your business. You'd be able to get more done in your business and have more time to just RELAX
It sounds like you just need a break
Just a suggestion
I hope that you'll be feeling better soon, and that you'll be able to work it all out. I know what it's like to feel very stressed out and it is no fun.
