GETTING CLOSE

It's amazing, just how much work that you can get done when, there is no one home to interupt you. I seriously got a lot accomplished painting yesterday. I have about one wall left in the hall way. Then, I need to retouch the ceiling, and clean the beams. It probably wouldn't hurt to, clean the one inch thick dust, on the ceiling fan. I've had to borrow the neighbors 10 foot ladder. They understand that, I'm painting, as fast as I can. I honestly need to purchase one. However, it's not often that, I need a ladder that tall. Maybe, I'll find one on sale one of these days.

I also need to put , my pictures back on the wall. That's a job, in itself. I never knew how much work that, this would turn out to be. I will say that, I quite toned up these days. Going up and down a ladder 20 or more time a day, will do that. Not to mention, moving and carrying heavy furniture and decorations. Although, all of this work is taking it's toll on me. My son has had to rub my back extensivly in the evenings. He also rubbed my hands for me this morning. I received a gift certificate, for a massage for my Birthday, from my husband. I plan on making an appointment for this Saturday.

I don't suppose that, falling off of the five foot step ladder Friday helped any. I wasn't actually painting at that time. I was only returing decorations, back on the tall entertainment center. I had too much in my hands, and simply lost my balance. I have now reinjured mu back, twisted my ankle, and bruised my elbo. I'm glad no one saw mw do that. Even though, number two son said that, "he would have paind money to see that."

Just as I expected, no sympathy what so ever. You have to admitt that, seeing people fall is funny. You know that, it's pretty funny on television shows like, America's Funnyiest Home videos. I'm just glad that no one had a video camera. However, we might have made some money on my accident. See ya'll later.
