I told you all about falling off a ladder and having a close call.
Now I have some outside lights high up I've got to replace. Halfway up the ladder twice, maybe two-thirds the third time. Not shaking but my hands are sweating even now and I can't help feeling I'm losing my balance.
I am glad I don't paint houses for a living, and I think I'll just handicap for awhile. Maybe later another try.

It's not being a wuss. It is called common sense. Having spent half of my working career on ladders, or hanging off buildings etc. I learned a healthy respect for heights. Why not hit the Daily Double, and hire someone to do the job, if it doesn't feel right to you then don't do it.
