Busy Day

I had every intention of writing this last night but my body had other plans. Somewhere around 8 I took my meds and got comfy in bed with the computer. Sometime after 9 I fell into a deep sleep. I didn't even hear my phone ring! Around 2 I woke up (at least partially), took care of the computer, shut the light off, and fell back to sleep.

We woke up around 7:30 yesterday and within an hour, we were in the apartment downstairs painting. We did just 1 coat. I was dreading it when we started. I went in thinking it was going to be tedious. I LOVED it. It was actually very relaxing. I just hated getting splattered with the paint, it really grossed me out. But I was able to deal with it.

After we got cleaned up a little, we walked 8 blocks (roundtrip) to pick up my medications. We rested on our front porch for a few minutes while our new to us lawn mower was delivered. Then we walked 5 blocks downtown to have lunch at Subway. We had the usual, a BLT.

After lunch we walked through the Be Cool Car Show. There were about 500 cars in it and it was about 12 blocks large. There were so many awesome cars! I am a late '60's Mustang fan and was NOT disappointed. I even managed to find my dream car (see above). That my friends, is a 1965 Fastback 2+2. Yes, I did drool. For only $32,000 it can be all mine. Please send money! Anyway, it took us about 2.5 hours to walk all the way through the cars. It was way too hot but we soldiered through.

Next up we ran some errands and did a little shopping. It was nice to get out of the house for a bit and cool off in some air conditioning. Did I mention that I forgot the sunscreen for the car show? Ouch!

We came back to the house and headed right back downstairs to do another coat of paint. Wouldn't you know it...We thought this would be it and we managed to run out of paint with 4 foot of wall to finish. Grrr! So tomorrow, we are headed back down to cover everything with the off-white. Fun. Well, at least it will be if I can move.

I woke up so sore today that I could barely move anything. I had to take a pain pill just to function and I was still habbling like a little old lady. I'm still in places that I shouldn't be stiff. I hurt in places that shouldn't hurt. UGH!

Well enough whining. It's getting time for bed.

Before I go, let me leave you with these words of wisdom: Never wear flip flops when walking 12+ blocks. Your toes will not like it and the blister you get will pop and sting every time you move your foot.
