Ohio:

Thinking especially of Hardi today. At 2pm, Senior Helpers' substitute cleaner will help me rebuild our 2nd-honeymoon kingbed, from the plywood base, up.

My AM back-stressing (strength-building) segment was removing intruder-hiding obstacles on his side of the bed; stripping the layers of linens I'd added on top of Horde body fluids and crumbs (for washing later); washing and air-drying the rug under the pee bucket; stowing the million pillows to use later in re-dressing the bed; stowing the pee bucket; untangling wires on his side of the bed so no one trips; assembling clean linens and draw sheet; creating and placing soft barriers to keep his bedside items from falling behind his nightstand cube.... and all that is done.

At 2pm (second wind for spine), I'll help the helper sort the rest of the padding to be stripped; stand the king foam up against my dresser; carry 2 camper foam pieces and sleeping bag in from the garage when we take out the kitchen trash/recycling; put those camper foam pieces on the plywood slabs and add padding to level that layer; add the king foam back on top of that; add overpadding to build height; customize Hardi's side with addl soft padding for his hips; customize my side with addl firm padding for my spine; add a cotton-batting layer joining both sides and mattress pad; add bottom sheet.

Then after a tuna melt supper, with my back's 3rd wind-- and probably tramadol by then if not sooner-- I'll add the pillows, top sheet, and blanket layer.

And fall in, still thinking of him as we count down the weeks till our next honeymoon! (That's when I'll add our freshly dry-cleaned honeymoon comforter.) :-)
