You just do what you can, and when you feel it is possible. One thing a day? Of course that may mean you don't get it all, but save the things you really love first. I wish I was closer....no one should be completely alone and have no help. I have never been to Detroit. Maybe I should plan a little trip. I live alone too and often feel that I have no help, but when I have asked neighbors and friends, they have been there for me. But you have to ask.
