Preparing to Age in Place

The day started by driving MYSELF to the dermatologist. First time to drive in months! Then I came home and finished my night's sleep, worked in the yard, talked with a contractor about replacing our septic system, started prepping to paint the pressure system shed. I need to work on painting some of the trim on the house and garage, and if I have time, the barn is overdue for a coat. This was supposed to be my summer's work, along with a list of other things that won't happen this year. It feels great to walk again without a splint or cast or boot. At least, with one boot I was doing a lot of yardwork. Just a little awkward.

Thank you for asking.

Jim

Jim, be careful. I strained an Achilles tendon from standing on a ladder painting our house. It took several weeks to heal.
I really enjoy doing things like this. It's our house and I love taking care of it, and I'm very picky about details. I'm struggling with the realization that in my upper 70s it may be time to pay someone to do it.
