<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I had to think about this for awhile. I think it was when I was helping my husband get the program booklets together for his African American History program honorees. I had to get bios from each person, condense them from sometimes two pages to on paragraph. Of course, some people were late sending their in. I had to proof read them then send them to the printer.</span></p>

<p>Just finished up lining a kingsize bedspread so it'll work for winter (what little we get around here). Looked & looked to find a sewing person who'd do it for me but no luck. It's gotten harder & harder to find people who sew for a living at all & the few that I did find were not interested at all in doing the bedspread for me; now I know why: even if you can afford a worktable big enough for a kingsized (heck maybe even for a queensized) you need a large enough room to put that…</p>

And I can see why they wouldn't want to use the floor for a workspace like I had to do (& the only floor with enough room I have is in the garage so now I gotta wash & dry that big old bedspread); crawling around pinning that thing on my knees really got my back; no wonder none of these sewers around here want to do it.</p>

<p>Stacked wood the other day, which was quite a job. With winter and cold weather just around the corner, wanted to make sure I'd have enough firewood for the fireplace. There's nothing like a fire on a cold winters day.</p>

<p>Hard to say....everything is incredibly hard these days. Weed whacking the thistles a few weeks ago was the most recent. It was difficult and painful doing it, and mentally stressful to avoid falling and rolling down the hill, but did it until I couldn't do it anymore.</p>

<p>5 years After we retired, we downsized to a house about 2 miles away. Instead of throwing out all my useless stuff when I had a chance, I loaded everything up and brought it all over in endless car trips. Wore myself out and now I still have to get rid of it all.</p>
