I'm up. Need to get moving. Have church today and I'm not doing anything else once I make a quick run to Publix. Just gonna relax and putter around the house.
Last night I was going up the stairs to go to bed and my foot slipped, and I landed on my right thigh, tumbling down a few steps. So today I have a nasty bruise and I'm in pain. I hate stairs.

That is one thing we will never ever buy FNW. A house with stairs. I cannot manage stairs with my bad knee. There are so many gorgeous two story homes here that I fall in love with. But they will not be ones we consider buying.
jlbear, go have fun on the beach. Do something fun there. I would love to be on the beach. Get a big stick and write jlbear loves her geeks in the sand for us!
Dona, are your cows dairy cows or do you raise them for beef? When I first married my now ex DH we lived on a dairy for awhile. It's back breaking hard work.
MM, if you lived closer I would gladly help you unpack. Just make a pot of coffee and I'm there.
SB, everyone needs downtime!

LOL, isn't someone missing from those shout outs Ms Obvious? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
FNW I have bruises from so many situations, slipping on the stairs is one. In fact, just now, DD came down the stairs wearing too-long sweat pants and slipped down about 4 steps. I was so horrified and scared. Then laughed when she said she was ok. She said the look on my face when she fell was priceless, she knew then that I love her. LOL

OK, just got back from Walmart. I was in the makeup section and 2 guys were standing there. Younger guys holding their cell phones. The one guy was drinking an opened bottle of iced tea and holding an unopened 3 Musketeers bar. Then, I rounded the corner and he had opened it and was eating himself. Uh huh. Just help yourself because you are an entitled Bastard and I will go up and pay all of my bills. SOB.
Did you want me to tell you to be happy? Not sure what that's about.
Stairs are pretty dangerous. I know people that think they're not and it' silly but they can actually kill you. I mean I'm not paranoid but I see that commercial for that seat that goes up and down stairs for the old people. My kids have threatened to get me that. Along with a life line and a hurry cane. Although there's a new gadget out that looks very handy. When you open the car door it sticks in the little metal clasp and makes a handle so that if the car is low and you have back or knee issues you can use it to push up and out. Who thinks of all this stuff?

DONE AND SUBMITTED! Now I can take a nap. Will head out to the beach in a little bit when the sun is not so strong. The pool looks refreshing too. It's just a plunge pool but nice.

I have a cane. I have used it a time or two. When I have an extreme flare, I need it.
I have an electric chair. It sits in the den. I haven't used it because I don't have a way to haul it yet. So I am limited to places that provide them.
I never wanted to live in a two story house. I think they can be beautiful. Especially the old southern homes.
But they kind of scare me. Maybe because I watch too many scary movies.

Ya'll remember my telling you about my cousin who had the two strokes?
He was out of the hospital by Saturday of that same week. He was at church that Sunday. This Sunday, the only evidence of the stroke is a slight weakness in his arm. But he also hurt it in the wreck so they are not sure which is causing it.
His speech is clear as it ever was, a little better actually. And he is improving daily.
God is good.

On another note, I have a headache! (Said in my best grumbly voice)

That would be a WONDERFUL gift.

Except that I don't have stairs. I fall on the slick tile.

If you want your tile to NOT be slick, a light once-over with some sandpaper might help a lot.
(flame suit on)
Yes, and then when we move out we can pay the landlord for the damage.

Probably not. But we've considered getting a plastic runner to put down over the tile in the main part of the kitchen.

LOL It's already like stopping an ice cube. Whenever water, or any liquid, is spilled in the kitchen a big announcement is made declaring the kitchen off limits until it is cleaned up and completely dry.
