Harriet, I'm sorry you are having so much insurance co. troubles. I hate stuff like that.
Thanks LadyM for compliment. It is hard work but I am NOT in shape. Ever since I went through that sick spell which I never figured out (remember when I kept feeling like I was "hitting a wall" in fatigue) and sat a lot recovering from broken foot I've been weak in my muscles. I can get up and down from the ground, but have to grab onto something and assist my legs. Nothing I do seems to strengthen them.
Then there is the acid reflux which has me working with my body always upright. I can't ever bend from the waist. Cement work is a lot of that. I was edging the drive but I had to do it sitting and scooting on the ground.
I don't know what to do to strengthen myself. When we bike, I can't wait to get home. I don't think I could ever jog around like Helia does. Yes I am concerned. At least my balance is still decent. I can stand on one leg and put my other leg in my pants leg. DH can't do that, he has to sit. It is not as easy as it used to be. When we did the work at 2H my legs got sore and that has become harder for me but not impossible. It used to be easier.
Got everything done except for any housework. Worked on a survey tonight. I've made several dpc's and got answering machines on every one and no one called back. Going to bed, I've done everything I could today.
We have wolf spiders here. They aren't supposed to be dangerous but if they get in my house I freak out. They are brown and big around as a saucer (legs and all). Their body is shaped somewhat like a triangle.
