Really sore today. Worked at mom's from about 11am until 7pm moving her into her spare bedroom so that her master bath can be renovated for a curbless shower. It was hard bc Mr C had an accident mid-afternoon trying to gather supplies from our shed and badly sprained his ankle so I had to redo mom's bed set-up alone. To get her bed lowered by about 4 inches meant I had to buy some 4-inch stones from Lowe's and tape towels around them to set her box springs on them instead of the existing metal bedframe. This was in the midst of a thunderstorm and their garden supplies are outdoors so that was fun. Those 8 stones are 24 lbs each so it was hard getting them in mom's house. Not much for a weightlifter, but not easy for an out-of-shape 63 yr old. Then I had to wrestle the queen mattress and box springs into place by myself without knocking over other stuff in her bedroom. I'm concerned about mom adapting to her smaller guest bath for now but I guess we'll see how that goes. She'll probably be in a bad mood today as construction prep starts. Mr C is on a walker for now but he can drive since it was his left leg. I have to say this kind of physical exertion takes more of a toll on you after you get into your 60s.
