STOP THE CLOCKS!!!

If this is what getting older'ish' feels like I'd not only like to stop the clocks but if it's possible could you turn them back 5-10 years? I'm getting so depressed because for the last month I've missed more time from work than I've been there because of my danged hip arthritis and siatica. If I don't get in to see the specialist soon I don't know what I'll do! OK.. now that the whining is over I'll move on.

How many lawn mowers does a person need?.. We have not two, or even three but four of the suckers. With the purchase of an electric lawn mower last weekend that meant we have one of each kind, a ride on, a gas push mower, a battery operated one and now an electric plug in one. Being that I'm unable to help with the mowing because of my bum hip that means that it's up to Ron to do that whole thing and I don't think that it's particularly safe to be using all four at one time.. he may cut off a toe or something.

And I'd like to reiterate that having a dark background with white or light print is really hard on the eyes. Since I've been off work I can't do squat around the house so I've been reading some blogs and those type of ones are pulling my eyeballs right out of my sockets people!!

My garden is coming along well and here are a couple of pictures of my new, pretty blooms...there are more kinds of tulips in bloom and little violets and stuff but this is all I'm putting up for now.. also there are quite a few dandelions in my garden because I haven't been able to get out and do some weeding.. my poor babies are getting all infested.. but then again a weed is just a flower that has fallen out of favour isn't it? That's it for now... later people.

My adventures said...

I had a car accident 6 years ago that really screwed up my sciatic. I lasted for 3 years and I couldn't have surgery because my heart wasn't strong enough. The only thing I could do was walk. I started very small and only walked around the block but today, I can go for miles. And, once I hit the half mile point of walking, it's never bothered me again. I told a friend about that recently for hers and she's reporting much progress too with the same therapy, walking. Not sure that'll work for you but I do know your pain! It's literally a pain in the ass!!! I just saw your question too about blog counters, I have no idea how I finally managed to link mine as I tried about 20 times before I finally got it. Just click on the one at the end of my blog and it will lead you to sign up for free! or maybe you did it already... My experience with computer stuff is still trial and error... emphasis or error!!!
