I wasn't one for vacuuming and making beds, but I do it
when necessary.

Sounds rather like my brother's situation. He's now got
elevated blood pressure and blood sugar but isn't doing
anything about either. Not that I'm terrifically great
about it, but he's in my condition pretty much despite
being over 20 years behind.

I've seen meals on wheels. They're very starchy and salty,
and the veggies appear to have all the vitamins cooked out
of them. I would compare them unfavorably to TV dinners.
