MEGGIE-you mentioned lots of FUN stuff SMET-how baout some PRACTICAL stuff SMET?

Yesterday we rented a carpit shampooer. We managed to get 3 rooms done-living, exercise rom (former dining) and Corbin's room. We mobed all the furniture outsie, etc. MY job was scraping baseboards clean and cutting pulled out peices of wild carpet-lots of twisiting/turning/scooting. I never could have done that for MINUTEs-much less HOURs-at 340 lbs!

Thanks, MEGGIE, for helping us to remember what is IMPORTANT! Love you, girl!! Sorry we didn't get together last week. First week back at new/old job was a BEAR!

You example of bathroom stall and pantyhose reminded me of one-
this week I was wearing hose and dress shoes and I walked way too much and got blisters by 9am. So I went to the bathroom and pulled down my hose to put bandaids on my heels all while standing up the whole time. No way I could have done that before!

Get my hand between the car seat and door to adjust the seat.

Wearing duty gear including a vest.  Still uncomfortable in its own way but much more tolerable.

Having extra maneuvering room in the shower.

Make whoopee.

Making what?  Aren't those pies?

Not pies.  Cushions!

The other day when it was icy out,  I could not get the front doors to the car open they were frozen shut.  I was able to get the back door open and crawl over to the front seat.  No way could I have even done that before.
