after a successful day with DB yesterday, I refined him getting from the porch door to the car by moving the car back almost level to the door, he can manage the few steps into the car from there. So this morning we went to Aldi, big mistake money wise!! but DB stayed in the car, we now have supplies of our favourite sweets etc, it has been a very dry 3 months for me without my favourite fruit pastilles!! I bought 2 packets so will have to ration myself.
I have also decided that DB can manage to walk with the walker up the road and back again, he did well yesterday going to the optitians, he now seems to grasp the context I was going on about recently, that if he goes for a short walk, he will eventually can get back to as near as normal as is possible, so when he gets up after his siesta we are going out for a short walk.
I am shattered, still have some of the shopping to put away, I do miss the big built in cupboard that was in my sewing room, I was able to keep a stock of tinned and dry goods in there. I still need to shed some stuff from the kitchen cupboards, but as it involves selling my chrystal glasses etc I am very reluctant. Cannot store it under the bed, the boxes to the Luminaire are under there. I might be able to rearrange a shelf in one of the bookcases in the sewing room, but not today.
Will see what tomorrow brings.
DD2 is bringing fish and chips tonight, our treat for the week!!
I, too, have to watch how many of the cookies that I eat as my fatigue has me so limited in what I can do that I gain weight too quickly. Wishing you the strong will it will take not to eat those fruit yummys too fast!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that DB has seen the good sense and logic in short walks daily will build up his strength so longer walks will be possible once more.
Hope you can find extra wall space or cabinet space for canned goods and other things that keep well.
Our weather is getting warmer with the high today 27.5*C and tonight's low 17*C. Tomorrow is to be the hottest day so far at 31*C.
Happily, I'm back to sewing borders, making blocks to size for border corners, cutting batting, and have finally corralled all my fabric slabs I use to make the little hearts.
Enjoy your fish and chips!
Hugs!
