(73,349 posts)i have a big place w radiator heat that has been mucked w over the years. totally out of balance. the room where i spend most of my time has cheesy lil baseboards that plug up. 🙁 when it gets in the single digits, its time to layer up.
had to have a leaky valve replaced on monday, which meant draining and stirring up the muck. spent 3 days draining, refilling, bleeding, restarting, up and down 2 flights of steps over and over and over. didnt get it perfect, but not freezing. coulda called the plumber back, but i gave him enough of my money for now.
then, to top it off, i tried to walk w a sound asleep foot this a.m. didnt take a spill but did pull a muscle. sitting here w it elevated and iced.
got an excuse to sit on my butt, w a quilt and a chubby, cuddly dog all day, tho. not a total loss.
its so frustrating to know theres something in the pipeline, but maybe not in time for u. used to b a hospice volunteer. saddest thing i ever did was visit a family in a ronald mcdonald house, where they were doing their last hail mary. miracles all around them, but not for them.
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻for us both.
