What are you doing today?

I continue to do my spring cleaning of the house and resist the urge to kill my husband, who right after I cleaned the entire kitchen, used every single surface that I had cleaned. 🤬. I got my bed frame yesterday.

Will be rearranging my bedroom, again, moving my computer that I just moved, and have husband get the bed frame set up. Right now my bed is on a 20 dollar frame made to set a box spring and mattress on; the new bed frame has a headboard and a footboard. While you can use a box spring, it is not necessary.

What I learned when I had my left hip replaced was my bed was far to high and it was so painful to get on and off the bed as you have to lift or slide your leg up. I will put my mattress on my bed frame, no box spring, and it should work just fine. I am going to try and repurpose my box spring as a raised bed in my garden.

Get it? Raised bed 😂😂😂. I woke up very witty. 😃. IMO.

This past week, just call me hollydolly2, cause while I can‘t keep up I am running a close second. I had spinach a couple days ago, I am sure that’s the source of the problem. Have to avoid that veggie in the future!! @hollydolly

You need to stay off ladders and countertops, IMO, cause we 😍 you and ladders are bad, countertops are worst. Feet on the ground-rules for puppies and old people 😂

who are you calling old ?? :oops::ROFLMAO:.....but you're right me and ladders are a bad combination...my balance has become quite affected in recent years, no idea why. I'll trip over a bus ticket these days
 

I have my haircut appointment in about 30 minutes. Then a physical therapy evaluation at 1:00. I've been doing a "purge and organize" of my kitchen area so will continue with that process. I've already done the pantry, laundry area, and the utility room so just a couple of more things to do to finish.
 
Did my usual chores first this morning....then after that, things seem to go downhill.
Still working on getting the rust of a shower curtain rod....soaking paper towel with CLR and wrapping it around the rod....letting it sit and go back to it with a plastic scrub pad.....repeat.....why don't i buy a new one.....can't find one that short other than one that's only about a 1/4 inch thick....that won't hold.
Because i always go full speed ahead.....coming upstairs with a container of dry dog food, no lid on it,made the basement stairs okay.....but tripped on the step into the kitchen, away i go and along with the dog food....Shaalee was the only one in the house, good thing, she stayed back....landed on my right knee and right arm and side.......that should be good for the knee replacement......have to learn to SLOW DOWN.
Morning over.
Much better afternoon......had a video call with the Love of My Life, for a couple of hours. 😆😄😀

you sound like me with those types of falls. I'm always doing it. I did it the night before last. Hubs had just gone to bed maybe 10 minutes before, and he's asleep the minute his head hits the pillow and a tornado won't wake him.. but I started to come up the stairs holding my Ipad in one hand and the Ipad holder in the other, and something else in the same hand , and missed my footing 3 or 4 stairs up, and just as you describe, whacked my right shin, left arm, and my bad knee... hubs opened his door, the noise of me falling woke him up, and he came to check on me ..and I hadn't cried out or anything, but the noise of me falling was so loud... :oops:

well definitely not a bull in a China shop. but I certainly am tripping and losing my balance much more than I ever have done in my life.. I have no idea why tbh. I do everything fast , walk fast, etc.. hubs says that's why, ..but I've always moved fast, doing 6 things at once, so nothing's changed there.. so Ijust don't know why it's happening now, I'm not old for my age if you see what I mean, but if I have another fall like I did in the summer, I think I'll age 10 years...

For a guy who surfed all his life my balance is shot. The last stumble and fall was terrible and I'm lucky no bones were broken. The bruising has finally subsided and the arm is once again useful but still hurts.
Word to the wise (and unwise dammit) BE CAREFUL!

yes it's odd isn't it that the balance can go like that so suddenly really...?... but it looks like I have to start being extra careful and slow down..and you too...

Good gosh you both need to be more careful, I can not visit either of you in the hospital and when God asks me why I did not do my Christian duty, attending to the sick, I will have to blame Covid-19 and God will be like sure, it’s not like I haven't heard that excuse before. 😍 🤣 🤪😄

The bed took him all day but finally done. Probably move the tv tomorrow so my walker can get through at the end. Got to think about it a while and besides, I am tired. Got a lot done today, what’s wrong with me, I am working too hard 😭
