In an ideal world, you and your neighbor would have a mutual understanding about why it's good for everyone to keep a clean building, but if she is indeed hoarding then it's hard to imagine she's able to give you what she can't even give herself. This is a pickle.

When it's dreary outside, I usually hunker down and do household chores - running the dishwasher, catching up on laundry, maybe even taking a long shower and shaving my legs. These days, though, I take the opposite approach: I never do chores that require water use when it's raining outside.
