No, not in outer space ... but in my living space!
After suffering the indignity of waking up at 5 (or was it 4:45?) this morning, I decided to use my morning vision to do lots (and lots) of stuff. First, I unpacked and assembled the two Ikea floor lamps. Ooooh. 400 lumens = warm sunlight (at least to me). Then I stripped the bed, lifted off the mattress, did laundry, threw out the ancient and torn fitted sheet that had been my box spring cover, replacing it with the new bed skirt. Well, it's not an exact fit, but I'm still pleased. I finished making the bed and placing the lamps in secure locations. Felt brave enough to try to change my keyboard. Moved the desk and printer stand slightly, then plugged into the USB by touch rather than sight. Well, I'm thrilled to have the large-print keyboard, but I think it needs batteries because the lock lights don't work. OTOH, I love having a soft rubber volume control. Yay. After that mini-triumph I had a shower while gritting my teeth against the stabbing pain in my right foot and finished with a second load of laundry. All of that ... and it was still morning! But I am now shredded. Wasn't even in the mood for lunch, but at least I've been guzzling Perrier all day.
Finally dragged myself into a gorgeously-made bed around 3 and just lay there in physical misery. Herding cats took up the rest of the day. It's usually enjoyable but I'll still be happy when SuM gets back tomorrow evening. I think it was way easier (and also less fractious) when there were only two. Sorry, Ce-Ce, but you're too much for me to handle.
Right now I'm waiting for my pain killers to kick in (... and waiting). I think I've earned the paraffin bath I'm going to slide my hands into - in 5, 4, 3, 2, ahhhhhhh. So, on that soft exhalation, I'll wish myself a good night, ditto to everyone else.
