I have not gotten many steps in today

I have been rearranging storage areas, so standing still and bending and stooping more than walking or moving across the floor. Once the metal shelf I am trying to empty is actually empty, I am going to mop another section of floor. Again I have not even stuck my nose out the door. I probably should, but truthfully will not. Besides tidying things I have been being kind to myself. I am making good use of my paraffin spa for my hands. It makes the arthritis better. So does being off work and not pushing a wheel chair. We shall have church tomorrow. Hopefully the van is going to go. We did not take it anywhere last night. While we are in Newton, for church, we will likely go to Walmart. Still needing bananas, cat food, and Bob's favorite sausages. He wants some wool socks as well. So that is mostly what my day is about. I am reading and responding for just a little bit right now. Yesterday I ordered a new heated mattress pad as the heat on my side of our old one has stopped. I will take the old one though to cover up with in the office. I like to keep the heat turned down.The heated mattress pads make the bed so cozy. We use heated throws in the living room as we watch TV and that is comfy. I was going to buy one for the office, but if the mattress pad still works on one side I will just use it. Why spend an extra thirty five or forty five dollars? So how are you keeping busy?

I’m just watching an NFL game. I cleaned out some clutter this morning, but I still have more to do. My best friend told me to wait until she could lug things to the dumpster for me, but I really want to get it done. Boy, do I wish I had known about that paraffin wax thing when my mom was alive. I can’t imagine how it would have helped her arthritis. Be safe getting out tomorrow!

I keep myself layered and keep writing on my PC, The night always feels so cold but the space heater helps along with my down blanket,

Those heated throws seem to be becoming more and more popular. It's easy to understand why.

I did laundry today and just finished loading the dishwasher in the kitchen and putting food up. I will run the dishwasher in the morning. Other than that I checked in here several times today and have caught up on notifications tonight. Woot!!

Thanks for the update. Right now my mind is on my husband. I am praying he makes it through the next couple of days.
