Well, still running 10 to 15 minutes up on my leg per hour - being really good! It is so good to be able to walk, bend, stoop - freedom of movement! Such a blessing! You better believe I am being good! And that brings me to the point of where I can start to do things again!
First up is getting the bridge from the roadway to the house ready for winter. All of the screws have been tightened, the cracks scrubbed clean, and weirdly - you have to spray down the fresh wood with some form of solvent to remove a factory sprayed on finish lumber receives prior to delivery to stores. Never heard of that one before, but it could be in our weird culture that wood is treated to make it pretty for sale. And that was a bit of a pain: hose down, spray chemical, wait 15 minutes, scrub down, hose down again! But it can not be done in pass - no, you have to do one side of the bridge, then the other, then the top. But, it is an acid spray - so you have to do one bannister, then the other, then the decking - ending at the road. That is so I can wash back towards the house and then be able to go in with clean shoes - I hope! I only have one pair of shoes to wear with the prosthetic.
Today, the bridge is drying out in our little mini-heat wave. So, a day of rest from outside duties. But, much to do in cleaning inside the house. I appear to be only one whom will put anything away, so the kitchen is a disaster! Some of what is on the kitchen table has been there since October 2015 - and where stuff needs to go, I can not go without two legs. So, that is today's task! Perhaps grandchildren can sit at the table to eat for a change ... sigh ...
Perhaps by fall I will be able to do some yard work? Car work? Etc, the never ending to do list!
Well, back to my cleaning!
Ciao bella!
Thursday, I will be staining the banisters and setting up a camp for the grandchildren!
Yes, it is camp-out time with the rascals!
