Chore day

I don’t know what I was thinking.
Today being the day of the week I set aside for chores and errands, I got started at the crack of noon. Up, shower, dress, feed the cats, and depart to run errands.
I didn’t have that many things to do — pick up cat food and litter at the Petsmart, get Mycah’s meds and prescription food at the vet’s office, and pick up some carpet cleaning supplies.
I think I bit off more than I could chew. Kitty litter and food are, of course, all the way at the back of the Petsmart.
Carpet cleaning supplies are all the way at the back of the Home Depot.
And since I was passing by, I stopped at the Target to pick up a cheap-o DIY bookcase, since I have way more books than shelf space.
Furniture is alllll the way at the back of the Target.
Then home… to unload all the crap from the pickup. And then take the trash out and wheel the bin down my treacherously steep driveway to the curb. Dragged myself up same driveway.
Then fed the cats again. Then hauled myself and my acquisitions up the stairs.
Going up stairs ought to be easier for me now than in February, but it isn’t; I’m still having strength issues.
I’ve spent more time on my feet today than I have in a couple of years. I’m absolutely whupped, and I pretty much need to hit the shower again.
And I still haven’t done any actual housecleaning. Sigh. I guess that’s my day tomorrow.
At least I haven’t fallen down.
That’s right. You didn’t fall and you did all of that stuff…in one day even. You’re getting there! I might even have to send you a fan in the mail. :)
Hon, I’m just excited that you can actually DO all of that stuff. It will take time to regain your strength. Patience, hon… patience…
