More items out of the house yesterday, another box gone today, and a large box ready to drop off when I do my paper deliveries tomorrow. For everything that goes out of the house, I swear the items that are left start breeding and multiplying.

I think mowing the lawn is one of those things we take for granted until we can't do it, eh. I imagine I will move before I get there but you never know.

There are many things we don't think about until they become difficult. I went ot the local hospital. The entry area had changed since my last visit. There was a sheet of paper placed prominently that indicated it should be read. I hadn't taken my gadgets that help me with such things. Likely I was the only person who had to ask someone to read t me he information.
How often do we walk up a step or two and wonder how a person in a wheelchair could handle that challenge?

Same with driving...I'm still encouraged to not drive to appointments just to minimize the stress on my body, and while I'm driving more again generally, it's still less than in the past so I'm home more.

It is helpful o be able to drive. I REALLY miss that ..

Some places make not driving easier than others, too. If this city had decent transit, I could consider not driving but as it is, our transit system sucks. Of course, if you live outside a city, your options get pretty limited. No transit, minimal to no taxi/Uber/etc.
