It has been a rough several days. Friday I did way too much lifting when I rearranged the shed, which caused by lower back to spasm up again. I do know better, but when I want something done I want it done right then. Plus, I knew that we were going to have bad weather coming.

My goal on Saturday was to go through my closet and clean out all of the summer clothes, which required more lifting. I did get it done and it feels good, like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Since Donny and I share an extremely small closet I have to be intentional about what goes in. I filled a laundry basket full and then emptied the drawer with my swimsuits, tank tops and cover ups.

These space bags worked so well.

Because our closet is so small I store my jeans and pants in baskets I picked up years ago for $3.99 at a thrift store.

I’m a very casual dresser as you can probably tell.

Sunday was Donny’s day off. He gets every third Sunday off. We were out of milk, which I need for my coffee, so he got up early and came back with cream horns that I happily ate at the patio table. They were so flaky and creamy. It was a decadent breakfast, but it was so good.

It was a very grey day with showers predicted in the afternoon. I don’t mind days like this especially when I’m feeling under the weather. It means true Fall weather is on its way.

Donny was able to clean out one of the gardens. We got a nice little haul.

Donny has lost his glasses months ago. He swore he lost them at work. He looked everywhere and I tore the house up also looking for them. Then lo and behold, look what he found in the garden.

We’re not sure how he dropped them out there, but I think I can straighten them out so he can wear them again.

By Sunday night my back was killing me. The TENS unit gave a bit of relief. I got on our shake machine and it helped.

I took a hot bath with a lot of this in it.

I am NOT a bath person, but I was getting desperate. It made it bearable that I took my laptop into the bathroom and watched Twisters while I soaked. It’s actually a good movie and I would have loved to see it in 4D, but we didn’t have anywhere near us that it was showing with those effects.

The bath, shaker and TENS seemed to have done the trick about 60%. I’m just going to need to be very careful until, hopefully, everything heals.
