Sad Sack

 

I got up yesterday morning to find this pitiful sight in the lower level. The Mister was having back issues during the night and got up and slept in his recliner. He was pretty miserable, physically and emotionally. It's been like whack-a-mole with him lately. We fix one thing and another goes bad. He has no idea how he hurt his back. He's never had back issues before. He's looking at knee replacement in a couple of weeks and this does not bode well for his recovery. It could be another rocky road we are about to go down. Isn't old age fun.

As miserable as he was in that chair all day, I had a great time. The day before I had a meltdown because I never get any time to myself anymore. He's all go, go, go. Not on anything we need to be doing like finishing up the remodeling projects we started. Just driving around town running non-essential errands and walking the dog for the best part of the day. I'm over it. The heat kills me and then I have no energy for anything else when we get home. Yesterday I got to watch the whole stage of the Vuelta AND spin a little.  

When I got tired of spinning I also got to add a few rows on the twofers. I'm now past the kinky ball stage. What a good morning that was. I got to finish a cup of coffee for a change.

After lunch, a lunch where I got to actually sit down and eat (The Mister doesn't eat during the day so I always have to grab something on the run) I started working on a grime catcher for the Matter's House stitching project. I did find another bigger Q Snap type frame in my stitching stash but I didn't have a cover for it. 

I even had a few minutes to work on getting the warp threaded on the loom. It was the kind of day that reminded me what life was like in the summer, before we retired, when I'd be on summer break from school and The Mister had to go to work. Those were the days, my friends, those were the days.....
