I climbed the ladder yesterday while DH was gone playing Pickleball and scooped the leaves out of the gutter at the back of our house. I did not get finished, but DH said he will finish it today. We were trying to wait until all the leaves came down, but there are still hundreds of leaves on that Water Maple and we'll just have to do it again when they finally come down. Those leaves had already started decomposing and the drain is completely stopped up on the one side. DH said he would get them out. Pssstt! I was not supposed to be climbing the ladder alone. It's not safe with my bad knee and the tunnels in the ground from the moles, plus I have Vertigo. Thank goodness I was not having a Vertigo spell and I made sure the ladder was firmly placed before going up. I had to brace it once with a paver, but still I took a big risk. When I get back from the dentist this morning we will finish it together.
Oh, the dentist. I detest going there. They want me to come every 3 months, but I told them I can't afford that. $90 for a cleaning. They also want to do more crowns and I distinctly remember the pain of that from 2006. Hope my teeth are not in a bad shape. I've been brushing with a special Rx toothpaste for a year besides the cleanings and trying to protect what I have left.
So, the plumber is hopefully coming today. My contractor is supposed to come also to give me a bid on the tile in the shower. I hope he can replace the floor tile and not break the tile around the walls. The walls and ceiling tile are fine and I really don't want a total remodel.
Yesterday I made coleslaw, baked beans, ribs, and baked sweet potatoes for dinner. Yum! Ok, I confess, the only thing I made was the coleslaw from scratch. The rest of the meal was from the grocery. Which reminds me, have you tried the Pumpkin Pecan or Raspberry Peach instant oatmeal from Aldi's. OMG is it good! My fav is the PP. Try it!
