Peace Out Peeps have a good evening.

@oodiebom:
I’m home this evening so I’ll post some questions if a Trivia thread is started. If no one shows up though, I’ll be leaving within 30 minutes. (Just letting you know.) I hope your weather doesn’t get too bad this evening. We are expecting rain here.

I slept in a chair last night due to the mattress causing severe back pain and my sinuses didn’t like being so close to the floor. The new mattress was delivered about a half hour ago and one good thing is that you do not sink at the edge. I have a handyman coming tomorrow morning to see what he can do with the bed frame since the box spring doesn’t completely cover one end. This is due to hubby taking on the task of putting it together himself rather than have a professional do it. We have a friend not far from us who bought a sleigh bed from the same furniture store. He tried putting that together himself as well and finally gave up and contacted a professional. What actually happened is that the store took out the correct nails and put in ones that do not hold the frame together that well. I never knew that there were different nails for bedding. Anyway, in both our cases the store went belly up soon after we purchased the items, so we couldn’t return or get someone to help us. There are quite a few businesses on the Internet that do this and will contact them if my handy person cannot help.

Everything is now completed with the contractors. I will need to have the interior painted at some point and of course new furniture is desperately needed. I still am fledging on whether to install a ramp or new stairs leading to the front door. The handy person thinks a ramp would be fine, however, if hubby will be in a wheelchair he thinks I should hire someone to push him and the chair up the ramp. His feeling is that the wheelchair will be too cumbersome as I get older. An alternative to that would be a cart which hubby could manage on his own. It will need to be recharged on a daily basis, but that may be easier. Then again, it will depend on the weight of the electric motor. Hubby is determined to try to walk with therapy. I have also placed a call to his orthopedist to see if he has any suggestions. I forgot that they close early on Fridays, so will not expect a call back before Monday.

I am now getting read y to visit our new Farmer’s Market. I surmise it is a mad house, but tomorrow is torrential rain, wind with a possibility of a tornado. Homes in Florida do not have a basement. I may go early tomorrow to be with hubby.

I’m not sure about Trivia. Spectrum expects outages beginning tonight. The wind could be similar to category 1 or 2 hurricane. However, this is not a hurricane because it has no tropical beginnings. Now on my way. I am tempted to just have a conversation thread until after the holidays. We shall see. I will have a Kindle with me tonight.

I know I say this all the time…….always something. Just like my computer the other day which was not my fault.

My mom also has a beautiful nativity set. I will have to check and see how many pieces in her set. Mom is extremely religious so she has many Jesus/Mary/angels, etc. around the house.🙏

Beautiful day, looks like Spring except for the bare trees. We will be getting your rain on Sunday. Staying home today and getting small chores done. Hubs flew down to visit his sister for the weekend so it’s me, myself and I for a couple days. I can read in the bedroom with the light on tonight.😄

Did you see that Pennsylvania declared 2023 as the Taylor Swift era? What a year for her.✨

Thanks for your continued work on this thread, appreciate all you do.😇 Have a wonderful Friday, hugs back to you and your menagerie.🤗💖
