My apologies to everyone on today’s post that was to go out today. I tried; I really did try. I got up full of energy and made lunch, breakfast, lunch, and supper while working on the post. But the more I tried to do stuff, the more pain I ran head-on into. So I gave up and went to bed late at night, after 7 PM, and I got up at 3 am to finish. But as I sat in my chair, I just couldn’t accomplish anything to get everything done. I really tried. So when Ron got up, O made him and I breakfast, and we enjoyed that. I made potatoes, bacon, sausage, and fried potatoes I made the night before. But no matter how hard I tried, the more pain I was in. Then the pain got so bad I had to go to bed in agony. I slept for most of the morning after 8 a.m. Then I got back up at noon and tried again. But then I tried again. Every time the pain built, I had to get back up to move from the desk. So I decided maybe moving to doing the laundry while working might help. It did not. It is 4 pm and I just cannot do it today. I just couldn’t sit at my desk and the more I tried, the more I needed pain medications, which made me more tired. So I am giving up. I will schedule the post for the morning. I do apologize; there is simply nothing I can do. I just had surgery last Tuesday to help with the pain in my back and the damage to my spine. As they say, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak. I love doing the posts; I love not onlyly putting them out for everyone, but it sometimes gets to be too much. Especially during the middle of the week. But tomorrow I have an appointment with my surgeon, and the surgery went well. So I will make the post extra long to make up for the lack of the posts today and yesterday.
Oh, since I have been back on my feet, I have been trying to do more to help Ron so he can do more to rebuild the house. That means more laundry, more housework, and more meals. Hugs. Scottie.
