giving the room a second coat of edging was fine. it took about an hour. no problem. but then i spent 15 minutes using the roller, which went really fast, but then i was in severe pain for a few hours afterwards. randy and i went to target right after i stopped rolling and all i wanted to do was lie down on the floor and writhe in agony.

christine said “you’re going to have to have surgery.”

i’d rather not.

for one thing, besides the fast that i talk to so many people whose backs are now completely messed up because of having surgery…if i had it, i’d have to sleep on my stomach while recovering. i can’t sleep on my stomach.

oh, and also – WE’RE MOVING. no time for any of this whole back stuff. no time.

at one point today we were finishing putting in the new piece of flooring and heard a little “meow.” poor winnie had decided to jump down into the hole when our backs were turned, and then the flooring was screwed on top of him, and there was just a little crack that the kitty could peer through.

kevin had to climb into the crawl space under the pantry and rescue the cat. i took some photos of it, because it seemed funny to me. i was also glad i didn’t have to crawl down into that crawl space because i’d probably have gotten trapped and there we’d be, me and winnie.

i really have to go to bed now.

ok then,

saturday night grace.
