Almost missed the bus

Well, not the bus but the recycling truck. Luckily, the fellow saw me coming out the door and took the bin from my hands. I didn't have to go down the stairs, which is getting more and more difficult for me to do. They're nice solid concrete stairs, but the steps themselves are a bit taller than is comfortable for little ol' me.

Nice he did that. Yesterday I got a letter to the post office just as the truck was picking up the mail. He waited while the post Mistress got it processed. I appreciated that. My husband built me half steps to get into the house. They really help.

A lift would be even better.

@BarBaraPrz I may think of one if it comes to that. But right now these half steps are all I need. I do avoid the basement steps, but if I need to they're okay. They're not as big. Also, when I weighed 20 pounds less, the basement steps weren't bad at all (face palm emoji)

He has been a nice guy. Stairs are becoming a bit more difficult also for me.

@BarBaraPrz Sadly true and today I feel so sleepy, it is raining and it's dark outside.

That was really nice of him to offer a helping hand. Stairs and I don't do well together either

Steps that are a bit higher than normal are the pits. I'm battling to tackle them nowadays.

Amazing how they get taller as we age...

@BarBaraPrz I thought I'd grown taller as my feet are much further away than they used to be.
