At Least I Am Out of Bed

Today I am playing "catch up" in so many ways. i am behind on my friends from having the internet down. I am behind on doing dishes, just because.
I am behind on many things because I took the time to defrost and organize my freezer the last two days, as well as move desks and check my internet connection before concluding that the problem was not on my end. The extra bending, stooping and lifting of those two things has left my muscles sore.
The cat got me up at 3:30, but I needed the restroom as well.She went back to sleep, I could not. I got up at 4:45. The aches and pains were doing me in.
We have nice cool temperatures, and had lots of rain last night.
Hubby and I will go out of town for groceries and gasoline, and maybe for lunch if I get my coupons ready and list made.
The image is one of my spare beds. I may go lay down later, or may go to that room and use exercise equipment. Hope your day is terrific. It is Saturday here.

@GardenGerty - Ms Heather - If I were you, I might take that cat off to one side and have a meaningful talk with it. -Gus-

I have been told that that cat has feline senile dementia, talking does no good.

@GardenGerty - Ms Heather - Maybe you should try water-boarding.

@Ceerios Now that she has me trained, she is behaving, yet I still wake up early.

Ah, I'm sorry you are sore. But boy you sure were productive with that freezer! I couldn't sleep last night. MediCal denied my dad's application and I am going to have to start over. Will call a social worker Monday morning. If we can not get it approved, we have to find a way to take care of him at home which we WANT but don't know how, we are not in good physical shape and kept him home as long as we could.this is so hard and my mother is so upset.
I hope you have a good day and those sore muscles get worked out during the day. We have my sis and niece coming today and now I'm not looking forward to it as much because of our worries. My sister can't help me at all and now she'll be worried too.

Did they give the reason for the denial? I know for some forms of disability requests people are automatically turned down the first time they apply. I would be looking for a lawyer that specializes in this kind of claim and only gets paid on a contingency basis, only if you get awarded. The claims usually get awarded back to the first application, which leaves room for the lawyer to earn a little. Of course I could be off my rocker on this as it does vary from state to state.

@GardenGerty They said we hadn't submitted some of the correct documentation. This was a case of my asking repeatedly for information and it not getting done. I did nag, but these were places where I can't go and get in someone's actual face, you know? We will certainly get a lawyer if we need to. Maybe even a threat letter from a lawyer might do some good. I'm afraid my mother is going to keel over just from this stress. And I should add in our minds, we DID prove what they wanted proven. We did not have the exact statement they wanted.

Sometimes I felt as if the day did not really begin until work ended.

Our pets do have their own agenda. Yes, moving around and wearing the right shoes helped the aches and pains a lot.

@GardenGerty Shoes really do make a difference. People don't talk about that fact enough.

Being out of bed is a good start.
Maybe you can catch up a bit today, with fewer aches and pains.

The day is pleasant, and if I would bend and stretch more vigorously more often I would not end up this way.

Wow busy woman :) I am always bust and sore, It was bad last night and I finally took a pill. I never take anything for pain so that says I am hurting bad.
The rain is here now, everyday. I plan to mow the grass this weekend.
I am always playing catch up and I am also going for an early morning nap.
Have a nice day and save lots of money!

I am no where nearly as active as you are. I do feel some of my pain is the cool front and rain. I take OTC stuff often. I was debating whether or not to take a muscle relaxer, but moving around is loosening me up.
