Make up Blog

Well, yesterday was a painful day for me; painful in that my back was much sorer than it usually is. Since I had my quarterly PSA check yesterday I did not do much in the morning other than make breakfast and coffee and read the paper. I had to be there at 1015 to have my blood drawn and then my actual appointment was at 1045.

My PSA level was up a little but my doctor said that it was nothing to worry about and told me to come back in three more months to have it checked again. I guess that he wants to make sure that it has settled into a pattern and then maybe I can go into a six month routine.

Andrea had called and asked if we could go over there and help watch the boys as she was getting worn out. So I made myself a Boca burger on dark rye toast with an onion slice and melted pepper jack cheese.

While we were at Andrea's I set up their new play area for Brandon and to her surprise when I put him in he played and had a good time. Andrea and Kathleen took the older one outside so that when Andrea is outside she will have someplace for Brandon so that she will not have to keep chasing him around.

Andrea started making dinner and since I had a headache and my back was making my life really miserable we decided to go home. Kathleen made some potato salad with the little finger potatoes and we also had the rest of the salmon from the other night.

I had loaded up the dishwasher that morning and I should have emptied it but my back was so sore that I decided not to. In fact I only stayed up a little longer and went to bed. I think that I had taken so much pain meds that my body was asleep anyway.

I must have been really worn out as I slept for nine hours which is over two more hours than I normally sleep. My back felt much better, it was still sore, but compared to yesterday it was really good.

Kathleen had a sewing class this morning at 1000 at Montavilla Sewing Center so she got up and ready to go at 0930. So after I finished eating I unloaded the dishwasher and then went outside and weeded along the east side of the property line where I have some shrubs planted and also along the back of the house on the east side by the back steps.

That took several hours and after I finished weeding I watered where I had just finished weeding because that is an area that I seldom water. I still felt pretty good so I finished pruning the tree rose and then did some trimming on the climbing roses that are on the fence on the west side of the driveway.

By the time I finished that and cleaned up it was 1530 so I made myself some lunch; well actually I opened a can of sardines and some dark rye and called it lunch. I did not was to eat too much as I did not want to be too full come dinner time.

Well Kathleen just came home so I think I will see how she is doing and than maybe talk her into doing something for dinner. My wrists are really sore now from weeding so long this morning; I am finding out how inactive I have become and how hard it is for me to get anything done anymore.

Things that I use to do without thinking about now I have to plan ahead and then be careful not to over do so that I can still do something the next day. I think that I need to take some pain meds; so I will call it a day.
