Couple of Roof Pics!
I told our roofer that these picture were actually soothing! A new roof also solves the leaking chimney problem… Rain was coming in through the chimney cap in into the new (to us) stove 😳. Not good for a cast iron stove. I am also glad to see that the meadow grass isn’t 3’ high, […]
Progress!
Progress in a few areas… I attended two yoga classes this week. My left (rotator cuff) shoulder was more offended by this exercise than my right ankle! Not to say that my ankle wasn’t challenged, and I did ‘adapt’ my moves to accommodate both joints 😏. It felt SO good. And to that end.. My […]
Graduated!
On Thursday I did indeed graduate to The Brace! The difference in my overall sense of wellbeing is profound. I, of course, immediately went and overdid it 😜! I spent 10-1/2 hours over the last two days at our regional flower and garden show. It was divine! I took lots of breaks, and attended a […]
One Sleep…
With luck, I get to move from the boot to the brace tomorrow. I am not assuming this is a given. This is my way of emotionally protecting myself in case the doc wants to keep wearing the torture device… I got out the brace he put me in 18-months ago, hoping that it’ll still […]
Upper Barn Update
I don’t have pics of the sheathed roof. The roofer coating the sheathing in a goo that completely waterproofs it, so the actual roofing material doesn’t have to be installed instantly.
Final Hours
I’ve been working on this for a few years. Don’t we all love our Draft folder? Enough time has passed, and enough words have been massaged that sharing this feels ok. The call finally came. The one I knew would come. The one I’d been expecting, at some level or another, for many years. Whether […]
Driving 😳
So, driving is interesting after a month off. It’s all about the foot, which feels like a poser after not touching an accelerator for a month. I quickly decided to brake with my left foot… Something I have done in the past, but for a grumpy knee. Monday was way too much… I ended up […]
Letter to my friend the chef…
Yesterday I sent the Grange a ‘date’ request for September 12. It’s time to hold a memorial gathering for my folks. When dad passed, mom was unable to plan (couldn’t sequence any longer) a gathering for dad, and wouldn’t let me do that for her. When mom passed we were riding the Covid wave. Since […]
Walkies
It’s an amazing thing to actually walk (in a boot) after a month off. My delusions of ambulatory ease were quickly corrected… First steps were very shaky. I grabbed my mom’s cane from the coat closet on my way out of the bedroom… Subsequent locomotion has been easier. Like, maybe my foot needed to wake […]
