The strangest thing!
I got ready to paint the white part of my porch--railings, stair risers, etc. I had paint spattered jeans, t-shirt and canvas shoes I used 3 years ago when I first did the whole porch. I washed them and put them in a bag on the top shelf of my bedroom closet.
I got them down, and started to dress. I could not button my jeans. The T-shirt felt tight in the chest. I said right out loud, "What is going on?"
I weigh the same as I did 3 years ago. The clothes are tight. They weren't tight 3 years ago. Is this another one of those "body shifts" that have no rhyme or reason? Why would my boobs get bigger?
At least the shoes still fit!
I got all the white painting done and was going to start on the gray porch deck and steps and just then, "you know who" came over. She got a new TENS device and today at physical therapy they put the pads on for her and hooked her up, but she couldn't get it to work. One of the little plug-ins had come undone. I got it plugged in and she turned it on.
She asked if she could stay awhile, while she was getting the muscle stimulation, because she was afraid that, #1. she might get an electrical shock. #2. it might be set too high and she wouldn't know how to turn off the machine. ARGGH!!
I assured her that the device ran on batteries and there was no way she could be electrocuted, and that she had control of the device on how high to move the stimulation and to hit the "Off" button if she didn't like it.
Her highest number is 20. She sat it on 2 and thought that was too much, so she clicked it down to 1.
I set mine on at least 10. She didn't like the way it felt like it was 'grabbing' her muscles. I told her it was supposed to feel that way--thus stimulating the muscles to get the inflammation outta there.
An hour and a half passed. Now it's five o'clock and not a good time to start painting my porch steps or deck. So------maybe tomorrow I can get that done? If it doesn't rain and I have to wait for the wood to dry out.
ARGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are such a patient person with Dar. Bless your heart. I couldn't do it like you do day end and day out without being rude for her wasting my life.
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes... Another body "shift"... >,-)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't "you-know-who" sit inside, and you still paint the porch? Why did you have to sit with her? And lose your plan for today?

If there's anything I hate, it's to be interrupted in the middle of a task. I bet your porch looks nice when you're finished. A fresh coat of paint makes everything look good again.
ReplyDeleteI remember you "refreshing" your front porch every year--at your other house.
