Feeling a bit overwhelmed, a bit exhausted, but hopeful that things will be getting better reasonably soon.
We’ve had an avalanche of ‘things’ to deal with – trying to get my new computer set up, having to buy a new bed due to the failure of my side of our air bed, and worry about the possibility of having to buy a new fridge. Money has been flying in all directions and things are a bit stressful.
BUT –
The set up of my computer is progressing, inch by painful inch, thanks to the relentless work of my husband who keeps at things and finally figures something out, rather than tossing the whole computer out the window – at least figuratively – if I were dealing with this by myself. I stay and work with my husband as long as my nerves can take it, and then I excuse myself to go do something else for awhile, over and over during the day.
We drove to Fort Smith yesterday morning so we were at the Sleep Number Bed place when they first opened. 45 minutes later we had ordered a bed. That’s the good part. The poorer part is that the soonest they can deliver it, set it up, and take the old one away is February 26th. So I slept in my recliner part of the night and on the sofa the rest of the night last night. I feel lucky that I have a choice of doing that or sleeping in the guest room until we get the new bed.
Tomorrow the appliance tech comes to see if our ice maker in our fridge can be fixed. Since my husband is very opinionated on the subject, I have asked HIM to handle the service call. I will simply write the service call check and we’ll decide what we need to do. I really hope we don’t have to buy another fridge.
SO – computer/bed/fridge and the money flies. We are having to scramble a bit to handle all this, but thankfully, we will be able to.
I used one of my ‘step-aways’ from work on the computer yesterday to listen to some music and work on the raccoon in my art room. He may be almost finished. I’ll decide today. It’s been fun to concentrate on trying-to- make-him-look-like-a-raccoon instead of all the REAL WORLD stuff around here. :0)
I need to get some exercise in, too. I haven’t done any since we started trying to set up the computer. My regular routine has gotten lost in the demands of everything else.
I hope that your days have been filled with fun and interesting things.

I hope things get sorted out OK. Could you put some folded up blankets or a pillow under the flat bit of the bed to support you in the meantime? I did when I got a spring sticking up in the bed and a saggy bit (sounds awful). But it meant I was OK for a few years x

The whole side of the bed on my side simply ‘deflates,’ leaving me in a kind of hole flat against the plywood. I’m better off in my recliner and on the sofa until the new bed arrives. Thankfully, my husband’s side is still working, though leaking a bit, so we’re okay.

OK. Could you get a lilo like they use on the beach? Ignore me if this is silly. Just trying to help xxx

That’s a good idea, Christine. I don’t want to spend more money now – since it’s already flying in so many directions – and I’ll be fine in the recliner and on the couch. I appreciate your trying to help, and your suggestion ISN’T silly. THANKS for caring. :0)
