Still trying to clear things up
Here we are. The morning after. The headache has not begun. All I can tell you from listening to the press is that nobody understands what really happened here. We now have four years to try and figure out just how bad the damage will be. Moving along. I decided to get ambitious this afternoon and start clearing the last of the lawn furniture off the deck period. I managed to get most of it down to the next level but as the light outside faded I also realized that this was not something to do after dark. I managed to not fall down stairs but I was going to have to wait until tomorrow or the next day to finish my task. As you get old you learn that your safety means more then getting things done. Am I disappointed? Only minimally. The deck is clear enough for the snowfall should it begin and getting the stuff down from where it is now to below the deck. It’s just a matter of my making the effort. In broad daylight. I forgot how the daylight fades away at this time of year. What seemed like an easy job in mid afternoon turn turned to be something very different only an hour later. I also should not be trying tasks like this by myself. If I fall it could be hours before someone comes along. Anything else of note today? Not really I am here by myself this evening waiting for my loaner dog to arrive. That might not happen until tomorrow or the next day but I am prepared. You can tell from this that we have not made a choice to get our own dog just yet. I want to see a bit more of what is going on around me before I commit myself to having a trip buddy. In all the contexts that implies.
