My Last Hurrah

The time has come the walrus said, to speak of many things, and so on and so forth. A quote from Alice in Wonderland. It's been a good day. I got extremely little done outside of here. I did get my sheets dried finally, but they are still waiting for me to put them on the bed so I can go to bed. I did go out and get pizza from Little Caesar's because I didn't want to cook anything in this heat, and I did watch Netflix while I ate it. I did take some things out of my room to pack up tomorrow, and the bedroom will be finished tomorrow as far as I can and still be able to have clothes to wear until I am ready to move out of here. I didn't get done what I hoped because my wonderful set of legs, the ones I was blessed with at birth, the ones I have broken at least one time each, the ones that have bad arthritis in each knee, decided today they were going to hurt too much to do very much of anything. I blame it on the high humidity and the storms that rolled in early this morning. So tomorrow, or more precisely, when I get up in a few hours I will try and get the rest of everything packed up from the bedroom and hopefully start on finishing the front hall. Both are at least half finished, so finishing the bedroom and front hall won't take much time, if my aching joints will cooperate tomorrow. In the meantime, I have finished the second round of notifications, and if I want to get any sleep tonight, I need to make my bed. So I'm going to say goodnight and I hope your day/night has been a good one. Thanks for reading.

We finally finished off the two boxes I bought a couple days ago. I figured they would be gone right away, but it seems I was the only one interested in pizza at the time. My son finished it off today.

I need to make those microwave heating things. I have an ice pack in the freezer, but I have no idea if it is even cold as the freezer hasn't worked well in a month now, since I blew the circuit in the kitchen.

@cacay1 That's wishful thinking I could never do the tango, not even when I was young and agile.

I hope those knees of yours will cooperate tomorrow and feel better. Goodnight, have a great sleep.

@HazySue I take ibuprofen before going to bed when the pain is so bad and that always helps. Also just having them in a reclining position is also helpful. Today my knees were good all day. I hope it stays that way. I have a lot to do to get packed and ready for this move and I need my legs in good working condition.

I am used to the heat and humidity. Housework is more demanding when our body refuses to cooperate. Wish you well - siva

you should put some warm packs on them - even a warm hot water bottle will sooth the pain

I'm sorry to hear your knees are so sore. It must make everything twice as hard if you aren't able to move around freely. Sleep well.

It is always better to have a hot pack in winter..When there is humidity in the atmosphere it will affect the bones.

We're in the middle of summer here. I agree, humidity does affect the bones a lot.
