Fall Down, Go Thud!

Yesterday I was in a hurry and rushed out to the truck by the back deck. Instead of using the steps, I used a concrete block to step down. Bad choice! The block turned over and I fell on the steps I should have used. I probably cracked a rib or two on my right side. It feels like a bad sprain you would have in your ankle. The last time I fell that hard I went to the hospital and they said I had a cracked rib and there wasn't anything they could do. It was sore as hell when I first got up this morning but two Naproxin Sodium (Aleve) knocked down the pain so I can get around.
It really hurts the most when I try to get up and down. Needless to say I am taking the day light today.
I don't understand the costs of things today. I can go to Harbor Freight and buy a Chinese made tile saw for $49.00 on sale or rent one for $46.00 a day. Even if the Chicago Brand dies it is a bargain the second day. I also went to a second hand store here in Topeka and bought a seldom used router for $29.00 and a new one would be at least $99.00. My fancy dancy Craftsman router died ugly.
I sure am glad that I have my brother-in-law, Ken. here to help. He and I are getting close to having this ended and he is looking forward to not having me harass him. I Will miss the thumping of little feet as Grissy runs between windows and patrolling for the yard cat. She starts from one window on the rug and runs over to the wood floor in the dining room. 90% of the time you will find the rug over in the corner all bunched up where she slides to a halt and the rug doesn't. She has to be getting in better shape from all the exercise. She was sleeping all day and now she runs or sleeps.
Hope you all have a great Sunday and get some rest.
