Two Things I learned recently
The joys of maturity. A couple of tricks I have learned in my mature age: 1) when I buy pellets for my water softener, I ask the manager/assistant to load them in my Explorer; when I get home, I slide them out of the back of the Explorer onto my office chair and wheel them inside or wherever I need to place them. They slide off the chair quite easily. 2) I have a hard time getting up from the floor/kneeling, so when I needed to clean my mopboards in the bathroom, I took my long handled sponge back brush, scrubbed the mopboards, rinsed, and then dried, all with the sponge. I was truly amazed at how well this worked, so did the mopboards elsewhere in my house. I also use an extended grabber to reach things at a higher level and to pick up clippings, etc. from my sewing efforts. Amazing what we can come up with when we are faced with a challenge.
