She can make an immediate decision that she doesn't like you for no reason. Is opinionated and stubborn. It has to be her idea or she probably won't do it. Doesn't have interest in much in the way of hobbies anymore except gardening. Likes to watch old westerns, crime shows, judge shows, wheel of fortune, Jeopardy. Does not have any friends left anymore. Has Grandchildren that are in their 39s and 40s. May just need some intermittent help for 1 - 2 weeks.
