Today I got busy doing some of the things I had been putting off. I got the kitchen and utility areas swept up good so that I could do my Wet Jet mopping. I also did a bit of vacuuming in the living room area (we have a special vacuum for that....another thing the Beast bought...sigh). I then vacuumed my computer room. I've been making my bed every morning like a good girl so I didn't have to do that. Tomorrow I will clean the rug in my computer room and that's the last of the big jobs to be done. By big, I mean ones that exhaust me because using the rug cleaner is not easy for...let's admit it...an old person. My arms are always super tired afterward. And it's not all that big a room!
It really IS a bitch to get old. In my head, I don't feel like I am old but it is my body that betrays me. I try to look after it. I take my vitamins, my pills, to eat healthy as much as possible and it still has more aches and pains than I care to admit. For every step forward, I take two back it seems. I take care of one problem and another pops up. Now it's my hips that are giving me more pain than I want to admit. After walking for a bit, it actually feels like they both become slightly dislocated. I'm almost afraid to mention it to the doctor for fear of what might be found.
The Beast will be coming home on Sunday some time. No clue when so I have to have everything ready for that *big event*. I know Baron will be glad to have his man home again and I will be glad to be able to sleep in once again in the morning. No more getting up at 6am to let the chickens out of the coop. I do have to fill the water tomorrow since it is getting low. But their feed is fine and there's still corn in the bag that was open when he left. I didn't have to open the new bag at all.
I know that, as much fun as the Beast has had visiting with his two siblings, he will be glad to be home again. It's always best to sleep in your own bed and back into your regular routine.
Baron wants to go out and I have to go outside with him. He's been growling and that worries me. If it's raccoons, they can be vicious if they aren't afraid of dogs. I'm pretty sure the ones around here are because Baron has chased them out of our yard a couple times. But it could be just another dog and then it's a territory thing. That's usually just barking and no real problem. I just don't want him to chase the dog.
Well, I hope you have a great weekend. Cee and I are going to lunch with Diane tomorrow so that will be a bit of a break for me before I have to clean the carpet in the computer room. Love you all. Be good. Be happy. ***Hugs***
