Slow and Steady

 I am really having mobility issues.  My back is killing me and I am just so stiff all over.  I know the main reason is arthritis and I know the main culprit is my weight.  However, I think a contributing factor is our beds.  

For years we had a tempurpedic.  We loved it.  No body aches.  When Hubs was having some health issues resulting in sleep problems we changed beds — went to twins and a different brand of mattress because Tempurpedics had a bad rep for being toxic.

That was about 3 years ago.

Today the beds are going to the guest room — lucky guests  — and Thursday we are having new beds delivered.  Tempurpedics.  I really hope they have solved their toxicity problem — I have been assured they have.  They come in two flavors — soft and firm.  Hubs got firm and I got soft.  I hope we didn’t make mistakes.  I am really hoping that these new mattresses help because it isn’t just me — he is having problems as well — so we will see.  

Of course, it requires shopping.  Our current beds are going into the guest room with the new chenille bedspreads I just bought.  So now I have to buy more.  I am opting for just regular bedspreads because I really don’t care for comforters and dust ruffles and these are adjustable beds so I don’t know how that would work anyway.  Hopefully I won’t have any problem getting the new spreads — I guess I am just a 50’s gal at heart.

I also need one for the double bed in the other guest room.  I will see about that — it will be quite a similar thing — all white — I am a sucker for all white.  Hopefully I can get everything put back together before fall!

So, I am finally getting around to doing the laundry from the trip.  I managed to keep everything together so it isn’t a big deal — it will be done soon.

I have been slowly decluttering my cosmetics and personal care items.  You know, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.  But, I am just taking my time and not going crazy over it.

I am so thankful for the warm weather.  Spring in Texas is dicey at best since we are at the tail end of tornado alley.  And now there are so many wildfires out in the west we have haze and can smell smoke but I am enjoying the beautiful sun and warm temps.

So, I have been reading all my favorite blogs, having a cuppa, doing laundry and lovin’ the dog — trying to get back into the groove after the trip and hopefully my aches and pains will be better in a few days.
