Today I decided I would clean a little........ I had ants in my cabinets so Matthew took everything out sprayed and left the can products out on the counters. The next day he came by and put things away for me...sweet huh! Well he left 2 bottom cabinets opened with other stuff sitting in the floor while those cabinets dried with ant spray. This morning I wanted the cabinets wiped out and the stuff put back into them.  


I can do this you know!


I threw a pillow in the floor  to kneel on and sat tossing the stuff that had been expired across the kitchen floor towards the trash can.  I wiped out the cabinets and started to refill them when I realized this was a pain in the butt, literally and the old knees.......so I called for help and my friend was out of town, Matt was watching his 3 girls, Ashley, Nana & Ellie had been to the mortgage company (did I tell you Ashley has bought a townhouse!) and was school shopping.  I guess it was up to me if I did not want to wait. So I scooted around in the floor and managed to clean up and put things back, but as I tossed an old bag of cereal across the floor it open and flew across the entire floor...huh...... how am I going to sweep that up?


I hobbled out to the garage for trash bags and paper towels with my crutches and crawled back in to the hall, because the step there is weird, pulling my crutches behind me.  I got myself up and kicked the roll of paper towels down the hall with the end of my crutches.


I empty the dishwasher which took forever, a cup at a time .......and loaded it as I sat on my scooter. Now I needed to vacuum the cereal up so down the hall I rode getting my vacuum and dragging it down the hall behind me........the vacuum is heavy with one leg, but I managed........I did get a good work out. After I finished sweeping the kitchen and my bedroom my heart was racing and my back achy so I tossed myself onto my bed sweating and resting my back........all that would normally take me 30 minutes, ended taking 2 hours......but I am much happier now!  All I need now is my leaves blown off around the pool and the pool toys picked up and that would be perfect. It is probably a good thing that the leaf blower is at Matts, because I am positive that I could manage that as the blower is a back pack.....one hand to guide the scooter and one to blow......until Thursday the 19th I will give you the Dr's update......Wednesday will be a good day as I get my gray colored:)
