To much going on
Had to work to get the tree down before Gary's Window Cleaning came Jan 8. I couldn't get my curtains down and in the wash so they could re-hang them. They were last here in 2017 and at that time I could get them ready to hang back up. Not this time, Jeff had Michael to help him so they got done sooner.
We have a large front window I do not like open to the public after dark. Daughter wanted me to wait until today. We have a lot of traffic out front, some walking from next door. So I got the first two panels, nylon, ready to go up. I got the little step stool, instructed Wil in each step. He put his hand on my back and that really helped. Got down and an hour later I figured we could put the other two panels up. We did, same method.
Saturday rolled around and we put the other set up after he ate and had coffee. He stood on the other step stool with instructions again as he didn't remember them from the night before. Then we headed to the bedroom and hung the last curtains there.
Then I decided I must find someone else to do it next time. That was really too dangerous. Had Wil fallen I couldn't get him back up and had I fallen he probably couldn't get me up. If I can't find someone they will just have to go dirty.
I'm still amazed how hard it was for me threading the nylon ones on the rod. What has happened to my finger dexterity?
It is a light cold rain here today. Mr. Grey has not come to eat though a stray dog was up on the porch looking for food. He's one of 4 strays we have around now. I'm trying to decide if I will set the trap out for the cat tomorrow. If he goes in I won't be able to lift the trap. Would have to get Wil up. If I caught him Wil would have to get him out of the car to release him. I'm having my back injected Wednesday with embryotic fluid. A last ditch effort to perhaps help.
I have to make an appointment for a new doctor for Wil. A urologist and he is not going to be terribly helpful I'm afraid. His labs were high for prostrate. Hopefully it is just age related. I also have to take him to a VA clinic this month for his once a year visit. He'll fuss as he just likes to stay around home now.
I'm concerned about the ceremony for the new President. Threats are already made. I think it should be virtual. A good piece about it written here: https://johnpavlovitz.com/2021/01/10/a-nothing-revolution/ I don't see how to link it here. Maybe that will work.

@fauquet: we are fine. back injection tomorrow.
No news since January 10, Bonnie ! I hope all is well with you two.

Mary eventually I will schedule us. I just have some appt. for Wil to get out of the way first. I'm sure each person will react in their own way. I've never had anything but a sore arm from the flu and shingles shots.
Are you planning to get the covid vaccine? I had the Moderna two days ago and have been sick since then. My husband just has the sore arm.
@fauquet: I have to set an appt. yet. working on his pulmonary stuff and I have to get the name from my doctor as I lost the slip of paper with it.
When will Will go to the urologist ?
Love <3

As I've aged, I've found it harder and harder to "act my age". My mind thinks I'm still 75!
@fauquet: The lady that does my floors does not like heights so I doubt she can do it but I'll ask next time.
I hope Wil doesn't need any surgery.
Janine does not put the curtains herself now<. It is a cleaning woman who does this . Arthrosis gives a serious and painful handicap.
Bonnie, you should mak a sketch of you on a step ladder with Will pushing you on the back.
I got prostate surgerty in December 2019 .
Good luck to Will.
Love
Michel
