Since our typical recycling day fell on the holiday it was moved forward to tomorrow so it's both recycling and regular garbage pickup in the morning. I'll have to place the recycling on one side of the driveway at the curb and the garbage pail on the other. I already have the recycling sorted out into its containers partway up the driveway to place at the curb when I get home later tonight.
It's already nearly 90 degrees and will go up into the mid 90s later this afternoon. Some of the plants in the pots and planters were getting kinda wilty looking so I watered them all. After my visit I have to deal with the laundry. I spent some time talking last night with my sister who is up visiting about how changes need to be made so all of the work caring for our mom and the house can't fall only on my shoulders all the time. I have my own health issues and physical limitations and there's only so much I can do. It's rare for me to get to go to medical appointments for myself so my health problems aren't being addressed at all. They have spent years downplaying my health problems, just writing me off as being lazy, but with my arthritis becoming noticably worse complete with more obvious joint deformity plus my having had pneumonia several years ago, I think they're finally starting to quit with being in denial and are waking up to reality. They are 59 and 60. I'm 54, but by the time I'm their age I am going to most likely be in assisted living.
