Sick and Tired

I didn't go on a canoe trip

down the Green River

but

I got to clean the mud off

the medicine chest,
two canoe seats,

three umbrellas,
sleeping bags,

water jugs,
ice chests,

buckets,
towels,
chairs,

tents,

and store the Dutch oven and briquettes.

We didn't kayak on the 

Bountiful Ponds

but

we got to scrub and hang the kayaks.

We didn't ride two children's bikes

but

we got to hang them

even though we have to climb a ladder

while our tall sons and grandsons

can reach, no problem.

Never mind me.

76-5/6 year-olds

love to bend and stoop,

reach and lift.

Obviously our kids 

have never been 76 or 79,

with diabetes, obesity, or blood clots.

"Sick and Tired" was a common

expression when we were growing up.

I'm sick of tired of doing this and that;

I'm sick of tired of hearing this and that.

I have revived it.

With love.

We did most of it this morning;

tomorrow I'll forget

and be happy and thankful. 

A note from my doctor:  

 The Thyroid is not high enough to suppress cancer growth increase to 137 and recheck in 3 months Chol is still high you should take meds to decrese your risk of heart attack and stroke jami will call you. 

Maybe I have an excuse.
