Got a hose drug up stairs from the basement. Had plan to wash the floor mats of the car and pick up. But than I start to debate if I want to it in the washer and dryer. Still haven't decided. Load up dish washer, not enough to run wash cycle.
As many of you know I been trying to clean out and organize the bed room, I call number 2. So I start to cut strips of fabrics, for up coming rag rug. Date unknown when I will get it started. Had a pile of old sheets and pillow cases, fold nicely up in upper left hand corner of the bed. I'm working on getting that pile of bed linen. Tuesday I will be at Liz all day, and I will take two bag of cut strips her and I can roll them into balls.
Hubby is having a lot of back issue, and is in quite a bit of pain. He is having some nerve and muscular issues. He has going to get ready to paint the south end of place. Moving about today is an issue. I know I don't want to work up to 65 plus years old, or older. I have cousin who just turn 76 and she still working. Not because of lack of funds. My guess it her crutch, like some uses drugs. This is my last full year of your, next year 2023 I will be on part time, slowly cutting my hours. In May of 2024 I will apply for my social security. I figure I should get some where between $800 and $1,000 a month.
But I didn't except to retire and take care of husband. I seen to many couple refuse to call anyone in, to aid them in caring for family members. The main thing I see they become bitter and resentful. The stress is so much that they become ill them self. Lucky hubby isn't that bad. I can plan and be able to have my own life. That why I'm looking into organization I can be involved in. Plus it will give me more time for creativity.
Start to read the Gadfly it a essay. By the Unitarian Universal minister in Spokane. Gadfly is word I like, challenge. I grow on challenge. One might say it feeds me intellectual. One of words use in book is safetyism. My guess it would be to do with safety. To make sure all is safe. In every faction of life. It a movement...But are we becoming to CODDLING in our world. Maybe we should ask if only safety we now own up to us, those who are closely like us. Ism is a movement...sadism, teetotalism, eclecticism, expressionism, vandalism, and other words that might describe a movement.
Tomorrow I will be going to tarot and tea. Earlier today I did a reading. Would like to share my six of swords from my decks. And it best word to subscribe the six of sword is transition. One could say I'm transition in to retirement. I'm sure I'm transitioning in many way. I try to transition more of positively it bring better well being. My decks are housewife, discover tarot, and surrealism deck. Just ordered the druid deck.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Sorry about your hubby's back pain.
ReplyDeleteI suffer with back issues and sometimes it’s so frustrating when I want to do something but I have to ask for help
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to scream. But I have to remind myself it’s not a failure if I need help. My hubby and my son will help me move heavy objects and during winter my son will come over and bring in wood for the fire.
I was raised that the mum looked after everyone. So it nice that the men in my life want to now look after me
I hope your hubby can find some relief from his pain, then maybe he can do some muscle strengthening exercises. Good idea to have Liz help with rolling the strips.
ReplyDeleteSorry your hubby has back pain, hope he can get some help for it! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI hope hubby gets along with his back.
ReplyDeleteIhope your husband’s back is feeling much better by the time you are fully retired!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your hubby's back pain. If I didn't exercise and go to the chiropractor on a regular basis I would be having trouble. I find it really helps. Cleaning out is a good idea, I just haven't started here yet...so hard to know where to begin. I retired at 67, but hubby is still working full time plus with no real desire to retire. Some people do better in retirement than others.

I like the aesthetic of that housewife Tarot deck. That card looks a bit film noir-y.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes use Lidocaine patches for back pain. I was able to get them from my doctor with a prior authorization. They sure do help if you can get them.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that back pain goes away soon, we understand that one. Have fun at tea!
