7thFebruary
We have a saying…
We have a saying in Kentucky. “If you don’t like the weather, stick around until tomorrow and it’ll change.” It actually got up to 56 degrees yesterday and we’re heading for 60 degrees today. I should be able to get outside and do a bit of cleaning up. That is, if I can walk.
My ankles are killing me today. I jumped out of bed this morning and shrieked. They haven’t hurt this much in at least a year. Funny, I wore a pair of P.W. Minor shoes yesterday. Paid $150.00 for them last year at an orthopedic shoe store. Not bad looking for an orthopedic shoe. A nice brown leather hiking boot. I was on the run from the time I got to work until I dragged myself home yesterday evening and now I’m paying the price. It seems like the more expensive shoes do absolutely nothing for my ankles. I can run around all day in a pair of crocs flip flops but put me in a nice supportive orthopedic shoe and I’m crippled.
It’s Saturday. Lots of cleaning to do. Better get to it.
4:30 - The bedroom is clean! Not a spec of dust or dirt anywhere. It’s almost too nice to leave tomorrow; maybe DH and I should just stay in bed all day. Oh, wait, I remember…no one will let us!
6:30 - I’m calling it a day. The bedroom is scrubbed top to bottom. Every single surface is squeeky clean. Of course, while I was cleaning the bedroom, Jake and Scout pretty much wrecked the family room and kitchen. We’re watching them today because DIL hasn’t come home from work since yesterday. She got off at 3:00 yesterday and called DS around 10:00 to say, “Okay, I don’t want you to have any excuse to bitch at me so I’m calling to let you know that I’m out with some girlfriends. I don’t know what time I’ll get home.” Now, it’s 6:30 Saturday evening and she still hasn’t gone home or called him back. She’s been partying for 27 hours. Turned off the cell phone. She got paid yesterday and I’m sure it’s all gone by now. Must be a Hell of a party. She’s got to be back on drugs or seeing someone. WAKE UP, DAVID!!!

I still am in awe of your cleaning jag. When my hubby finishes school and is bringing in income I’m seriously considering hiring someone to clean.
Thanks for the info about your surgeries w/your ankles and flat feet. I clicked on the link that you sent me and I could identify my pain in several parts. I’m going to call an orthepedic next week to get a second opinion. I do not want to go through all of the agony that you did. I’ll let you know what I find out.
