Real Jeans!

I was cleaning in my "shack" today and found a coupon for $15 off a purchase at a women's clothing store...that expires today.  It was really Meg's coupon, but Meg is at work, and I need jeans...so I copped the coupon and went shopping.  I guess I should explain that I had a pair of fat-lady jeans.  They looked horrible on me and had an elastic waistband.  UnAmerican!  They finally developed a hole in a conspicuous place, so I pitched them...but then I didn't have any jeans to wear for Casual Friday at school.  Egads!  I came home a short time later with real jeans...and they fit!  I'm saved!  Hmmm...guess I'm easy to please...

One of the things I also found in the shack was the post-surgery discharge instructions from the Peoria hospital.  (I don't remember seeing it before.)  I discovered that what I had is called a "craniotomy".  I also discovered that I'm not supposed to lift over ten pounds for eight weeks post-surgery.  (Huh?  Guess I goofed up on that one.)  It says I can go for short car rides.  (Oops!  Missed that one, too.  It took four hours to get back to Plainfield when I was discharged.)  I was musing that if there were things I shouldn't be doing before eight weeks post-craniotomy, I probably shouldn't be doing some other things, since it's only been five weeks since they messed with my head.  Mowing the lawn is one of them.  Hmmm...

I have worked on cleaning up messy areas in the house for two days now, and all I have done is overload the garbage cans and mess up the other rooms.  There has to be a better way!
