Happy Moonday!
It’s hot outside. I haven’t been out but I can tell by the way the dogs smell when they come in.
I’m stuck upstairs for another day.
I knew I did too much Wednesday and I was feeling it Thursday.
I took it easy Thursday and Friday, Saturday was a pretty painful day.
As the day went on the pain got worse and I could barely stand up at bedtime.
I made it upstairs and my son had to help me into bed. I couldn’t lift my legs up.
Yesterday, I could barely move, I couldn’t even sit up without help.
I called the doctor even though it’s a holiday weekend and got the doctor on call. She said it was from doing too much Wednesday and it aggravated the nerves.
The pain started in my back, circled around and into my hip and down both legs, front and back. I also have weakness in both legs. The doctor said that is what happens if you overdo it.
She prescribed gabapentin, celecoxib, and tizanidine, which the pharmacy delivered. There was no way I could go get them.
I slept all day yesterday and all night last night.
I feel better today, but not better enough to brave the stairs.
I don’t need help getting in and out of bed anymore. I’m sure that makes my son happy.
It still hurts, but it’s bearable pain.
He has been good about helping me.
We have yet to go to the new house, and I need measurements from there. I called the seller’s friend and he knew how high the garage doors are. I need to know how much space there is for the washer/dryer. The ones I want are 27", which seems to be the standard width. The seller’s washer and dryer looked big to me.
Never mind on that one, I’m getting a two-in-one washer dryer combo. I thought it might be inconvenient because you can’t wash another load while the first one is drying, but it’s 4.8 cu. ft., it will hold a lot and there may not be a need to wash a second load while the first is drying. It will take up less space in the laundry room.
I’m holding off on the garage door opener, I need to talk to somebody, I think there are no outlets close enough.
And what a pain to check out. I got a new HD card but it wouldn’t let me change it to the new number. I got a very nice associate on the phone though and she got everything to go through.
I hope I haven’t made a mistake. The washer/dryer combo was pretty pricy. I was going to get one that was the same price as a washer+dryer but the reviews were bad. I got the one with better reviews and 4.8 cu. ft. I also went for a new stove, very expensive too, but it comes with two ovens and you can adjust the burner size to the size of the pot, has frozen bake technology and convection.
Perfect for two people who never cook.
Nellie, you did what you did when you had to do it. Staying together for the kids or splitting up, everybody gets hurt either way. When my sister and her husband split, my older niece was happy about it, my younger niece was devastated. Same situation for both, but their individual personalities processed it in different ways.
The only family I have cut off is my sister. There are others who are a bit obnoxious, but I don’t have to deal with them often.
FCM, nice house but way too much for me. At least this one doesn’t look like somebody with multiple personalities decorated it.
My current house is 1525 sq ft, which at times has felt too big. The new one is 1584 sq ft and it feels kind of small. Different layouts.
The bedrooms are small and there isn’t as much closet space.
I’m still not sure what is going where, or who is taking which bedroom.
No matter, I am going to miss this bedroom. It’s a nice size and has three big windows that get the morning sun. I know most people wouldn’t like that, but I do.
The master bedroom at the new place has one small window.
All y’alls cats make Adam look good. Well, he is a good cat, he doesn’t get into things, and rarely jumps on counters and stuff. He will jump on one table in the living room where my son displays his 3D puzzles and he rarely knocks anything over. Which is good, because those 3D puzzles kind of explode on impact. The biggest annoyances are when he comes in the back door just to go out the front door. He also gets a bit demanding about treats. He sounds like a herd of elephants when he runs through the house. He has never meowed, and he does a weird kind of chirp.
I’m sorry about your friend JtC. I hope she will be okay, and you are sweet to take care of things as you did.
I’m glad you are negative Rocky
I get no holidays, no sick time, no vacation. Of course, I can irk whenever I want for as long as I want, and I can take all the time off that I want, I just don’t get paid if I don’t irk. There are some rules about how many hours we have to irk each week (12?) and how many days in a row we can take off (30?), but I’d have to look it up to be sure.
I remember when family would get together on the holiday, but it’s been a long time since that happened. Labor Day was usually a picnic or a cook out, last time to get in the pool before it was closed for the season.
The otters are cute, Flyboy
I hope your infection clears up soon, Yankers
Congrats on weight loss Herald
I can’t believe it is 830 already. To be honest, I’m a little f’d up from the drugs so I have to keep fixing this post. If I sound a little loopy, it’s because I am.
Congrats on almost retied, Pilot
