I wanted to write a blog post before the month of February ends.
January and February have not been a lot of fun. My husband spent about half of that time helping his parents. You all know he came back from one trip with a respiratory infection that stayed with him three weeks. Thankfully, I never caught it.
Then, on the second trip down there, he injured his shoulder.
Today he got injections in his back that he gets about every three months. Tomorrow he will see the ortho specialist about his shoulder. We both thought if he just rested his shoulder, that it might heal on its own, but it’s been about 10 days and it is not getting better. The doctor he is seeing tomorrow is the one who did his last knee replacement, and we are confident that he will have the best treatment plan.
My husband and I know we are not getting any younger and we have been making changes over the last few years to make our home for comfortable and manageable as we age.
About 6 years ago, we put adjustable beds in the master bedroom and we both like them a lot.
When my husband had that respiratory bug and I was sleeping in one of the guest rooms to avoid getting sick, I missed my adjustable bed.
So, after we thought about it, we got some more adjustable beds and put them in this guest room.
They will be comfortable for for guests and they will be comfortable for either me or my husband if we end up sleeping in that room.
The Queen bed was moved next door. It looks like a nice bed but I don’t like this older mattress at all.
I would have preferred to just get rid of this bed, but my husband wanted to keep it. And any of you that are married know marriage involves compromise.
But our granddaughter likes sleeping in this bed so for now, it’s in that second bedroom.
This twin bed is the bed that same granddaughter slept in when her family lived with us for a year. It is a really good mattress.
It was in a closet, but I moved it into the sewing room, because if someone was staying in that bedroom, there wouldn’t be any room for their clothes in the closet, because that bed took up the closet.
There’s still a ton of stuff in this sewing room
But if I ever get back to sewing, I can always spread projects out on top of that twin bed
And it will be a place for someone to lay and take a nap. If we have a lot of guest it will be another space for sleeping.
I rarely watch regular TV anymore. The shows just seems so fake or extreme, I just don’t enjoy them.
But there are several channels on YouTube that I do really like
I really like Meals with Maria. She is a mom of three that lives in a normal looking house and she cooks normal food. She does it on a budget and without any drama.
Big Bankz does Urbex (Slang for urban exploration) He explores abandoned homes and buildings. I don’t know why it’s so interesting, but it is. My husband and some of the grandchildren enjoy watching him too.
Taco Stacks does scrapping, trash picking, cleaning out houses, selling on eBay, buying abandoned storage building contents, thrift shopping and sell at swap meets.
I would call all of those shows G rated.
The only warning I would give is if you watch very much of Taco Stacks or urbex videos, you will start cleaning out your drawers and closets 😊
There are so many good YouTube channels.
But I’d love to learn of some more.
Please comment if you watch any that you think I would like
