...ack...

So I cut back the buddleia's in their pots and tied up bundles for garden waste day, all this from the wheelchair with breezes making it 'feel like' 32 degrees.  I wanted a plain ol chair, but he-who-wasn't-thrilled-about-it insisted the wheelchair was smarter.
In all fairness he did warn me about that leg with the metal getting cold... He did NOT warn me about pulling skirts that get stuck under the stupid wheel to the skirt eating wheelchair....BAD PLAN.  Unless, of course, you WANT the hole in the skirt as justification for browsing for a replacement , online, while you try to thaw out your frozen left foot only to discover the "ache" that apparently will be around for a while.

Uh huh...who'da thunk that cutting back buddleia's was such a costly undertaking.

Note to self:  Do NOT pull skirts that get stuck under/in/around the wheelchair.  Just sayin'...

Oh wow, Mel, you know, I never even THOUGHT of that!?!

That's right, metal gets cold when it's cold.

Well, it could be fun picking out a new skirt online :)

Sending ya a BIG warm hug, dear lady...

Awww...that's no fun!! And I suppose you're sending that cold weather my way, too. I hate the idea that you're going to have to deal with the metal and cold and the ache that it brings. I don't like it one bit. Gosh, I'm sorry. But...a new skirt...that's a wee bit of a consolation. Unless that's camera money. [wink]

You bring up an B side of wheel chairs that I had never thought of; getting to make wheels and skirt bottoms to not fight it put. You have to practice to see how to tame that one, my dear.
