Here's an important safety tip if you happen to be seven weeks post major surgery. If you do something reckless like decide to sit on the floor, have a plan for getting back up before you do so.
(I'm slowly chipping away at my to do list, and today was the day I was determined to get the Christmas tree put back into its bag. Thanks to a lovely Dearie who gifted me an amazon gift certificate, I was able to find what I think is a pretty good replacement tree so that the corner won't look so naked.)
(Thank you again, Dearie!)
Down I went to unplug things and de-dust and generally tidy up, when it occurred to me that it was going to take a minor miracle or a major forklift to get me back up. I sat there for several minutes before I confessed to my JB that I might be stuck, but I suddenly remembered a video I saw on the YouTubes about this very thing, and before I knew it...I was safely and painlessly upright once again.
(Crisis averted.)
I am now happily under the blankets with Snoopy, and as soon as my afternoon damn good knocks the cobwebs away I'm going to try to stitch a bit before making dinner.
Happy Friday that has felt like a Saturday to me all day! If you're having the same blustery weather we are, batten the hatches!

ReplyDeleteBeen there.🤭🙄
ReplyDeletePlenty of wind in CO. 😒 I'm glad you watched that video. I need to one day.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss your tree with the twinkle lights, Coni. The new tree looks nice. Glad you were able to get yourself up! Post tree stitching sounds like a good plan! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeletePlease share the link for all of us who are getting older or less limber! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are feeling better, good job getting up off the floor. That's not easy especially after surgery
ReplyDeletewe have decided that (instead of beating up on us cuz the tree is still up at the end of january) we are gonna make Ground Hogs Day the tree cutoff - BUT we're gonna change the decorations on it from christmas to the Poles - come on northern and southern lights and polar bears and penguins ... dunno how it's gonna be, but at least next year i won't be feeling guilty about it till February 3rd
ReplyDeleteToo funny! My husband has laughed at me for the past 25 years! Holiday decorations disappear the day after whatever holiday it is! Yes, I know...I'm obsessed lol...we all do what's best for each of us.
