Getting Around!
Well good afternoon! My day started with going back to bed for a nap. What? Yep that is what I did. Jay and I are both suffering with tight, scratchy throats and I had a headache brewing. I managed to sleep the headache off, finally got up and my breakfast out of the way.
My next project was to vacuum the bedroom, dining, and living room. So I started in the bedroom with my vacuum and my walker. Very quickly I found that four legs on the walker and two on me just don’t make for efficient performance. I spotted this in the corner where I had placed it before the surgery.
My brother, who I lost this year, gave me this cane a few years ago. I used it to walk down the driveway when there was snow on it and my ankles were so bad. It gave me just enough stability to get around. Today it was just the ticket for moving that vacuum around without getting tangled up in the cord or having to maneuver a turn. I’m grateful he thought of me those years ago now! Now I have the living and dining room to finish then I will see how the foot is doing before I do the sweeping.
Some where in here I have to get a sponge bath and wash my hair before everyone moves out on me!
I’m going to make chili by adding ground beef to a can of fixings this afternoon and cornbread from a Jiffy box. I mean real gourmet cooking my friend! I’ll add a jar of home canned pears and that is lunch for when Jay gets out of dialysis.
For you who follow Cindyisms it seem a gremlin has screwed up her computer so the next post may not be until after she can get someone to look at it.
Well the coffee pots says have one more cup and then get busy so I will.
