I took a bad fall–but I am OK!!
Yes, it is Sunday but I can’t “rest” because too much to do!! First, in anticipation of a short camping trip, I prepared Nature’s Head with Coconut fiber (in water) in the base. Then I started cutting up the foam mattress so easier to carry away to the trash receptacle. Now I know why the foam mattress was so beastly heavy: Gel packs throughout that created “water-bed” comfort. I long suspected it was a hospital bed mattress. The gel was flexible but did not run out of the pocket when I cut open. I’m really ornery today: I’m leaving the pile for maintenance to pick up; I’m not carrying to the trash receptacle. Then I struggled to wiggle the heavy table ten feet further into my yard. Now maintenance can mow half my yard and I won’t have to weed-whack. I’m weary of doing my own yard!!!!! Especially with the heat!! I also moved three planters and three garden flags from that section of my yard. ~~
About the fall: I was tugging at the foam because some was coming off in sections. A section gave way unexpectedly and I went down flat on my posterior, on the cement walkway, and my left hand and wrist took part of the shock of the fall. Fortunately, no broken bones!! (Last time something like this happened, I broke my right arm!!) ~~ I left the projects –about 12:30–for a break and iced tea.

Three-thirty PM update (94 degrees): I followed “the path of least resistance” and filled the fresh water tank with my premium quality garden hose. First I flushed the tank with gallons (and gallons) of water.
I just didn’t have the desire to unhook one and hook the other. I don’t drink water from that tank; I haul filtered water with me. ~~ So one more item I can check off my “to do” list.
