Nah! I just like to complain. You would laugh today though - I am enjoying my patio and pond while sanding my daughter's window trims, in preparation for reapplying varnish and reinstalling as soon as floors are done - this week! and walls are painted. So the vice/workbench, sander, etc are all set up in the shade with a view of the pond. My chipmunk and squirrels have made it clear they don't like the noise.

@jakedduck1 , @sueinmn, I love to pull weeds! It's so therapeutic for me, to spot...and I am a great weed spotter...a weed, bend over and yank it out of the ground feels so lovely. So in control, of something! Makes me feel strong! Healing to rid the world. my world, of a negative intruder. Love it, always have as long as no one tells me to do it. Instant gratification is my friend.

I found Gardeners Supply and ordered their patio/pot irrigation system, set-up. It looks pretty good and something I can do myself. Also ordered a couple of self-watering hanging baskets, too expensive for sure, but the only way it seems for me to keep hanging baskets. I usually only use the steal/iron w/coco liners baskets, but will try these. I also got some AquaSav coco liners, with a layered watering liner. Hope they work as they cost a fortune too. But, did it to keep some beauty and happiness around and within sight! Worth every penny! Hopefully.

OT guy showed me a dressing stick that may help some with pants, etc. Not with stockings, tho. Think the compression socks are just out. My right hand/thumb and wrist/arm are getting less able to work, with more sharp pain and nerve pain. think it's the cervical vertebrae worsening. Something involving the cervical spine popped up on the MRI at Mayo Hospital last week, along with the growth and fungus balls in the sphenoid sinus, perhaps creating some of my vision problems. Guess I'll mention it to someone at some time before losing use of the arm. Following up on the sinus issues, have ENT and CT scan this week, and appt with nephrology. All good. Just more and too much. Keeps on coming, eh?

Back to my rest, staying cool and dinking water/smoothies. Think I'll go downstairs and fix a fresh fruit/protein, etc smoothie for Rob and me. May need to back off on protein now that kidneys are unhappy, but don't know what to do yet for that issue. So, will enjoy a good, 'healty', smoothie today. Deal with others tomorrow.

Bless everyone again and again and again.
