Too much!

Some days we all know that we may "push the envelope", and what does that actually mean?

"push the envelope - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary ...

idioms.thefreedictionary.com/push+the+envelope   Cached push the envelope Fig. to expand the definition, categorization, dimensions, or perimeters of something."

Yes! 

And when we do that, push our own personal envelopes, from physically pushing ourselves to our limitations or emotional abilities to cope with not too nice situations, we as human beings realize after negative affects occur that we perhaps went too far, or did too much.
Human nature is an interesting product that we all have.
Even so... we somehow don't always get when we may have gone too far.
In this case I am referring to pushing that body to stretch its limits or thoughts that are better left in your noggin than put out and spoken aloud.

Let me put it to you this way, yesterday I did both.
Here comes trouble... and that idiom has a picture of me next to it I am more than sure.

Putting one's foot in their mouth ... if only it was an art form... I would be considered one of the best artists in the land, maybe the world!

And being somewhat of a person who gets tired of NOT being as able as I once was... makes me angry and frustrated and sometimes I just have to try to do what I just have to try to do, ya know?

Climbing, even as well woman was not my strong suit, I nearly broke an ankle while using a ladder in my parents home when Hubby and I both were helping them by painting it way back in the 1970's, Lakewood, NJ... And then there was the time I did break my leg, fell right onto the cement pad, when on a ladder washing the 5th wheels/RV's windows while we were staying in it back then '95-'98 in Punta Gorda, FL, due to waiting on the sale of our home on the other coast in Ormond Beach. Although, I walked on it for two days while I made cookies, several batches way back then... and no worries; I was my skinny self  of 103 lb. gal at the time, so cookies were okay, but mostly they were for our friendly neighbors...!

Any-who, now with the MS I forget I cannot do what I need to do, but my body rudely reminds me.
So when Hubby  and I had a discussion on whether or not the wind was strong enough to rip the canopy over the pool I ran, not really, but sort of with my walker of course...to the shed to grab the step ladder to unhook the side that has clips on the eyes, on that side and the lanai overhang as well... and guess what?
I could not reach the clips even when I did magically climb the two steps up the step ladder! Sure if any of you recall it is seven feet four inches high and me of five foot one-ish, and even with the step stool I was not able to reach it!
And yes I even stretched, which is why all last night and most all of today I am back to warm moist heat for my lower back and shoulder, ugh!
Hubby was right in the long-run, although the wind did come up really fast and whipping it, it held its own... more than I can say for myself; at least I didn't fall and break anything...
Well, who knows that might have been a better deal? NO!
But I am still in pain mode and my dizziness is back too in full force...
And Hubby and I have been a tiny weenie statically charged all day long?

And so too much is sometimes just that.

Knowing one's limitations takes work...

Oh the best/worst part is that I realized that with my back and my dizzy back in nasty form that I did need to go back to physical therapy and it was in that window of two weeks that nothing needs to be done other than scheduling, it's less than a week, and the prescription was for the end this month anyway...
I start again next week, and they were going to try to fit me in this week but I felt bad that I had quit and told them next week was fine.
This week I see the PA at the Ortho’s anyway and now she probably will not be wondering why I did not finish her prescribed time.
So that is why last night’s ‘blog’ was not done and tonight’s is done now… since I am sitting at ole faithful desktop and not on my notebook where it lately has been freezing up….

My back is crying uncle in this position so I will listen to it and bid you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
