Pioneer Woman?

 AI Overview

"You are a pioneer" means you are a trailblazer or innovator, someone who is among the first to explore, develop, or settle a new area, idea, or field. This can be in a literal sense, like settling a new region, or a figurative sense, like leading in science, art, or business. 

While removing the twist cap from a gallon of pool chemicals, I realized I just twisted it off and also that I pulled the tab with fingers, and not a sharp knife and WORDS

Poof, I just pulled it off. 7 months of doing it and now I can, without help. woo hoo for strong finger tips.. IF YOU CANT DO SOMETHING JUST KEEP TRYING AND YOU WILL...

1 year ago, I could not bend over and touch the floor with my hands, now I can bend over and reach 6 inches below the floor, I know this because to get the basket out of the skimmer without falling in the pool.The hole in a pool with a basket in it is called a skimmer. It is a device located at the waterline that pulls water into the pool's filtration system and catches large debris like leaves and twigs in the removable basket. Before Pioneer Woman, I had to use a grabber and balance with a staff.

I can climb off and back on the electric recliner quickly because waiting for the foot rest to close is way to long. Think: People Knocking, Phone ringing, urgent Potty break

I can put the foot holders on the wheel chair without screaming at the chair, which is what happened the first few times

when we cleaned up hurricane stuff, I  had to use the 5 foot staff I found on the ground, to hold me up while I bent and now I can bend and pick up without it

I can open jars and bottles, I can pop the top on a soda can, I can keep the pool clear and sparkling, have yet to conquer scooping out the bottom scum that accumulated over  a year.


I ordered Pool filter earth, 25 lb box, I can't pick it up from porch and put under the bucket below, but I broke the box down with a razor cutter and dragged it down the sidewalk and into the garage and the put the box under the bucket. The earth comes in 6 lb plastic bags, and when I open one, it goes in the bucket. 
I also now know how much and when to dump 3 cups in the skimmer.

I can take care of the business of  LIFE all by myself.. with 2 demanding: me first, I want it now, my mama, not yours, Toddlers (1 human, 1 canine)

when the face plate cracked and fell off on the floor, I duct taped it back and ordered a box of 10 face plates and so far have replace 2, the first one I struggled, the 2nd was a snap. OOPS! doesn't match but ours are 38 years old and who cares..

Have Flathead screwdriver and switch plates/outlet covers, will travel...

You are a pioneer in thoughts and words as well as deeds, Sandra. You can take an every day event and turn it into an adventure to write about!
