EM is showing signs of aging, today. Sooooooo, along with the usual MSessy stuff, he also has extra aches and pains of aging.

First, we send him to the pot to do his usual and of course can't PEE! Then he gets in his stair lift, goes to basement, where he transfers, oh so gingerly, to a WC. He pushes the dirty clothes over to the washer, with his feet, whilst manually wheeling. Loads the washer, adds soap, and hits go button.

Then he turns off overhead light, that electrician left on last week, with a pole reacher thingy and wheels over to furnace, to change the filter. First he must reach up, out of reach, to turn off furnace....(pole reacher, again).

Then wheels around to the front of furnace, takes front of furnace off, again gingerly, and takes out old filter...Ugh! Puts new one in, won't fit at first so tries again...@$%#@...it works! Then gingerly puts front pieces (two) back on furnace...walla!!

Much too tired to wait for wash to put in dryer, so heads back to stairlift....OOPS...forgot to turn furnace back on....wheels to back of furnace and, gingerly, turns back on. Almost too tired to transfer back to stairlift. but, gingerly, He makes it.

It doesn't end here, but he's much too exhausted to talk anymore. Poor guy...You know that too tired to talk or type feeling.

He flatens out on the couch, only to have the dog cry for food and water....OOPS...forgot.......................
