Well, only one post and I already changed the name from Knee Deep in Work to Meadow House Musings. There were other Knee Deeps out there. I am sure the world will still beat a path to my door.
Went to the doctors' today. Just a check up. He yelled at me 'cause my cholesterol is too high. Well, he didn't really yell, 'cause I'm old enuf to be his mother. But, I told him I am not taking meds, they make me feel like crap. He talked me into Nyacin which is a 'beefed-up Vitamin B6. I told him I'll try it for a month. Then more blood work and another appointment. I go to the doctors more in a year than my grandparents went their entire life. Lost 5 more pounds. Woo-Woo!!!!!
Then stopped to see a friends new computer. He went to the 'dark side' and got an Apple. No tower. Its in the screen. Pretty fancy. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I'll stick with HP. His parents then invited me to stay for supper. Never turn down a free meal. We had a nice visit. His dad is like a brother to me, plus, he's my carpenter. Got plans for him this spring. Gonna take out the back sliding door, put in a window. This eliminates the $%^&* steps that I've fallen down twice. Then we'll put a new door out of the laundry room onto a small deck. The only down side is I'll have to carry the wood farther. Unless I can throw it in the open window. HMMMMMM??? We'll see.

It's a wonder our grandparents and great grandparents lived so long and so well without 'modern medicine'...right? Yeah, right! I have a simple philosophy for doctors ...if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I don't take flu shots either. I did have a flu shot once back in the early 90's. Had the flu three times that winter. So much for preventive measures!
I don't have a clear picture of your layout to understand why you have to carry the wood further. But would it be possible to have your carpenter build a chute on the outside wall for you ...maybe that dropped the the wood into a box in your basement? Just a thought. : )
Don't have a basement. When they built this house, it was just 4 rooms with the bathroom in the barn. The old man who had it constructed wouldn't recognize it now. If I take out the sliding door, which is in the back of the house and a straight shot to the wood shed, and put a new door in the laundry room, I'll have to come in the laundry room and around the corner to get to the stove. I need the exercise anyhow.
On Monday, my new doctor asked me if I had or wanted a flu shot. I said NO! Never get one, Never will. He just smiled and said, OK OK!
