Black Things, TMI, Handicapped Bathroom

 Saturday finally settled down to a humdrum existence which was great. Between the two of us, we baked bscb, red potatoes, and carrots. Then, I froze most of the breasts. Tommy took the skin and bones from the four thighs, and I froze those in three bags. One is for him to eat. The other is for chicken and dumplings. But, if he needs them, he can eat them. I want him to cook the ground beef tonight. I will make spaghetti. We have three days of doctor appointments and a day of cleaner coming. So, those four days we need food cooked ahead of time. Neither of us will want to cook, just dish it up and eat.

Saturday, the older teen was sitting behind my chair, moving things when she started talking about something I am very vocal about. She said, "Why do they make everything black. You cannot find things." When I need a wireless mouse, I specifically look for a white one, hopefully with some colors, also. I have bought some really ugly ones, but I was confident I could find it on the floor in a dark area, like between my chair and a table. 

I even try to buy purses without a black lining.

Okay, maybe this is TMI to you. But, Tommy and I do not hide our unclothed bodies. We don't necessarily close and lock the bathroom door. When I pass the bathroom and he is in there with the door open, I pass by without ogling. But, one day was different. 

I saw something out of the corner of my eye that made me look. He cannot step up three inches without holding onto something. He gets over the side of the tub, but I never asked how or saw him getting in or out of the tub to shower. Well, I did.

He was holding onto the top rail of the shower enclosure with the glass doors lifting his whole body with just his hands and arms. What interested me beyond the surprise of how he got over the tub side was his muscles. He had bulging muscles in arms, back, and shoulders. I was very impressed with his musculature. 

He did not believe how big his muscles were. He has a body that would be described probably as 'dad bod.' He had no stomach overhang and no love handles four years ago. Now, he does but has gained no weight. His belt just rides lower, like many men. But, above all that he has large and defined muscles when he lifts himself. 

At first, he objected to me telling this. Then, he said it was okay to tell everyone. What guy objects to a woman telling people how muscular he is? I suppose these are muscles developed since he does not use his lower body often, much like quadriplegics in wheelchairs.

The last time the plumber was here, Tommy started asking questions about the showers with low access. He does not want the walk-in tub, just a shower with low access. However, it will have a seat. That works for me. Several years ago, when he could not step up, he strongly objected to anything but what he has--tub with glass doors. Now, he seems to be amenable to getting something safer for both of us.

Right now, the rain, wind, thunder, and lightning are furious. There are no tornadoes forecast, but weather person said not to rule out the risk. Okay 

Do you have trouble finding anything black that has fallen on the floor? Do you deliberately try not to buy black items? 

Do you have a tub/shower with low entrance? A seat?
