Laundry Done

I called my daughter to do laundry at her place this morning, but didn't get an answer or call back. So I did what I haven't done since I moved here. The laundry is on the second floor, and my knees need replacement surgery. However, I needed to do it today, or I would be out of anything decent to wear tomorrow.
I got my exercise the hard way. I'm very happy my knees had a turn in the hot tub at the pool this morning.
I checked to make certain the laundry room was available, and to see how much the washer and dryer were - one trip up and down the stairs. I went out to the car to bring in the detergent and bleach - second trip up and down the stairs - took the laundry up, forgot the money - third and fourth trip up and down the stairs. My knees were very sore about this time.
Half an hour later I put the load in the dryer - fifth trip up and down the stairs. Not knowing how long the dryer took I listened at the bottom of the stairs and went back into the apartment. I went up to the laundry room a few minutes later expecting maybe 40 minutes to dry. I waited until the dryer stopped - 1 hour dry, and added more money. Sixth trip. An hour later I went up for the seventh time and brought the clothes down.
My knees are so sore now from all that climbing I can only hope I can make it to the pool tomorrow. I know they will appreciate the hot tub.
Have you had your exercise today? Thanks for reading.

That's a lot of trips with you knee problem. Well, the good news is the laundry is done. Have fun in the pool tomorrow!
Yes, today I walked for 45 minutes. It may not seem such a big accomplishment but it was about 90 degrees F and then I picked grapes for two hours. It was hot!

@just4him I think we are have very similar weather. Yesterday was the hottest Sept, 25th in 125 years.
I gave some away. I have been eating grapes all day. It was a grape day!

No exercise to day. These trips should help you lose some of that weight you want to lose.

@DianneN It's probably safer to do laps around the yard, since you've seen snakes in the flowers. It's good Doodles doesn't run away.
Sometimes I wonder if she got my message. I know one time I told her I called, and the voice mail didn't leave the message. Why that would happen I don't know.

@Courtlynn It was, thank you. I had a nice 15 minutes in the whirlpool hot tub, along with swimming beforehand.

Yes, we live in a Split level so I can understand getting wore out while doing laundry. There are times I can easily do it, and other days it is not Fun. At least you got it done, and hope you did not have to pay for it too badly.

That was way too many trips up and down those stairs, sorry. I hope your knees were not too sore when you headed to bed and that after a nights rest you were able to go to the pool today and give them a good soak. I walked Daisy today. :)
