some are hard to see until it's too late....
and will be a pain to fix...
others... easier to see...
but still a bother to fix...
sometimes...you just have to ask yourself...
WHY ? ... did I try to do THAT... ?
and then....
there are those that, no matter how hard you try...
you can't fix...you just have to live with it...
today...was "trash day" in my neighborhood...
that means that yesterday was "get it ready day"...
since they come at 0dark:30 AM....
I have been "feeling punk", as a friend would say...
so I dragged myself through the chores and trash collection...
that I had neglected for several days...
including cleaning out the fridge...
after I had collected garbage from a number of places...
had washed a sink full of dishes and cleaned the kitty boxes...
I had to face the fridge...
my first mistake was using a "force-flex" bag...
piling garbage on top of trash...
my second mistake was not using TWO bags...
when I first picked it up...the "little voice" said...
TOO HEAVY...... divide it up...
did I listen...?...NOOO !
I didn't want to dig through wet stuff... etc...
so as my feverish brain ignored the "little voice"...
I managed to get it to the back door...
the problem came as I attempted to pick it up...
and heave it into the garbage collection cart...
[one of those tall ones...]
of course...once it was "too late"...
I knew what I'd done to myself...
after shoving the garbage can to the curb...
there was only one thing to do....
as I limped stiffly up my front steps into the house...
and LOTS of it....
then...I had to find this...
[making sure I wrapped it in a THICK towel...
so I wouldn't blister my back again...]
and then...only one place to be...
SIGH...

OH...I feel your pain.
Ibuprofen fixes a lot of my 'shoulda listened to the still small voice', 'Oh Sh#t' kinds of moments...
...when first I "did this to myself"... I had to go to the store...having been sick, etc. so I popped 3 Advil [I took 4 at a time after my surgery...] ...not much help...
so I gave up yesterday, took "several" Excedrin and my heating pad [wrapped up WELL...I learned that lesson...] to bed and spent most of the day there...I'm still quite sore and stiff today, but can move around a bit... and the 2 or 3 Excedrin at a time only make my ears ring a little...
Hope you'll continue to mend well. It always seems to take so much longer than we'd like. Rest is really good.
Don't wear yourself out too much with 'hindsight'(I'm one to talk...).
...my biggest problem is the "looming" April 15 deadline... I think I've procrastinated "big time" this year because I have to deal with the residue of Mom's estate...and all the paperwork involved...[many trees died to produce all this stuff...] anyway...I've been preoccupied with digging and sorting...so if I take enough pills...I only hurt when I move...
The evil 15th. Treachery.
Might file an extension -- if so, it would give you some needed time. Though having it over with is its own reward...
...without getting into details... I have an appointment for Monday at 2 PM...if I can't find all my "records" I will file for an extension... everything went into MY account and I "wired" my out of state brother his share,[we were co-trustees] and there is "interest income" NOT under the umbrella of the trust...ARGH...
just thinking about it gives me a pain somewhat "lower" than where my back hurts...
Evil stress. Sometimes I wonder how people without a college education comply with the tax system.
Praying for you...
...only hip flexors sore today...good thing since we had to clean out the core room office for the archives...
BLT & I were "it"...he did the "heavy lifting"... all the while Mudville Opera scholarship auditions were warming up in the GH...most of it was OK...
I'm still searching for all my records...ARGH !!!
the good news is now my trunk[of my car] is cleaned out and I've gone through the office...
