Damn, I’m old…
I’m feeling every moment of my recently-completed 43 years on this rock. Over the weekend we cleaned out the storage shed, which resulted in a truckload of stuff being donated and quite a bit of trash. We also finally got rid of the bedroom set that’s been being used in pieces-parts by both Cat and Patrick, and since that meant Pat’s bed went bye-bye, we bought a really nice futon that fits better in his room. We’re also emptying out the den and temporarily setting up the computers, TV and whatnot in the living and dining rooms in preparation for the room makeover we’re having done by my new friend, decorator and professional organizer, Cyndi Seidler.
While all of those things are good and were much needed, they required quite a bit of heavy lifting AND driving our old Isuzu pickup truck (which has no power steering, ugh!). Consequently, I kicked my own ass. My body’s all aching and wracked with pain! And we’re not quite finished, so I’ll just have to work through the creaking and protesting of my old and flabby muscles and bones. It’ll be so worth it once I finally have a den I love AND a more clutter-free life.
Tomorrow I go for the first of three Remicade Infusion treatments, in hopes that it’ll stop this current flare-up of the Crohn’s Disease that plagues me. Of course I hope it works, but my more immediate concern is that the treatment itself doesn’t cause any side-effects that will make me feel any lousier than I do already, because between the rearranging and remodeling preparation, work, and getting ready for Cat’s 8th grade graduation and party on Thursday, I’ve got WAY too much to do and can’t afford to rest or recuperate, dammit!
