GETTING OLD IS THE PITS!

Okay, first of all, yesterday Kevin and Renea took me to supper at a restaurant none of us had been to.  The Derdoski’s told them about it.  It is called the Mason Jar and is in Auburn.  The meal was wonderful.  The portions were so big none of us could finish everything on our plates.  Since it was Friday (and Lent) I had shrimp.  Best shrimp ever.  They are also known for the milk shakes.  We saw several varieties of them and decided they would be a meal all by itself.

Before we went to the Mason Jar Restaurant we stopped at Lowe’s (of course).  Kevin bought new rope for his flag pole.  The day of the tornadoes his rope was actually torn off the pole.  I bought two chairs for my deck.  Decided to buy less expensive ones this year since they take a beating on my deck.  I also bought the rest of the hooks for my peg board.

It was a fun evening.

Now, about this getting old!  My front yard is a disaster since nothing has been done for months.  The weather has been cold and rainy.  I have had all these stupid health problems (still do).  However, I decided it was time for me to start spending a little time each day working on the yard.  This morning I started with weeding the azalea bushes.  They look pretty sad, but are trying to bloom.  I worked a little over an hour and filled a garbage bag with weeds.  Hopefully, in the next day or say I will have it weeded enough that I can feed the bushes.  After that hour my knee hurt like crazy and I could barely walk on it to get in the house.  Therefore, I am working on my blog 😊.

Later in the day Kevin, Renea and me went to the Derdoski’s for a cookout.  Nick was confirmed in the morning, and they invited us and family for the afternoon and evening.  We had a great time.  I laughed until I hurt.  They have a swimming pool in their backyard.  The water temperature was 64 degrees.  That didn’t stop the teenagers, or some of the adults.  Everyone ended up in the pool except Renea, Jennifer and me.  Bruce grilled chicken, and, yes, he did go into the pool.  We had plenty of side dishes, cake and a large cookie.  It was a very fun time.

I had a miserable day on Sunday.  Between my knee, fibromyalgia and vertigo I didn’t do much of anything except watch the race and some basketball.  It will definitely be early to bed tonight.

Kevin mowed all the grass in both our front yards today.  It sure looks good.  He was also busy working on fishing rods.  Business is good!

Monday morning I took my car to the Honda dealer for an oil change, tire rotation and general checkup.  Next I stopped at Walgreen’s and picked up two of my prescriptions that were ready.  Got a few things done around the house and called it a day.  Still not feeling my best.

Tuesday morning I slept until 8:30.  I can’t remember the last time I did that except when I was sick.  I felt like I lost most of the morning.  Really didn’t get much accomplished in the morning.  However, that afternoon I went to the She Shack and accomplished quite a bit.  I worked on Jana’s quilt (that’s the one she gave me for a Christmas present to put together for her 😊 ).  I also worked on my larger tote bag.  I stopped about suppertime and called it a day.

I just don’t seem to be able to put in as many hours as I used to.  GETTING OLD IS THE PITS!
