I hit Price Chopper and the Feed Bag (which was closed yesterday) while I was downtown and got in a short walk around the park. I also went on a short walk at home with the dogs for the first time in over 8 weeks! (My legs are very tired after even two short walks (totaling .50 miles). I should’ve done some of the strengthening exercises I learned in PT (lying down, not standing) while I wasn’t able to go on walks.)

The McD’s app glitched, so I couldn’t use my usual coupon. They ended up just charging me for my hot tea and giving me my sandwich and hashbrown for free. *g* (NGL, there are definitely some perks to being well known and polite, though usually it’s just really good service and people smiling and acting happy to see you.)

I watched the current ep (season finale, how did this sneak up on me?!!) of The Last of Us and an HGTV program, and read some more. I also posted a new fic! AND I added ~1,000 words to my intoabar fic, bringing it to a close. I just need to type it in now.

I did a load of laundry. I also did the usual amount of hand-washing dishes and scooped kitty litter. I did a ham steak for supper, with mashed potatoes and peas, which is my go-to with ham.

Temps started out at 40.1(F) and reached 80.8. It warmed up pretty early in the morning (I had to change into shorts and a t-shirt when I got home) and clouded up a bit in the afternoon, though we didn’t get any rain.

Happy (belated) Memorial Day! My deepest thanks to all who served.

I hit Walmart while I was downtown and got in a walk around the park. Yes, you read that right! Just one lap, so a short one. I’m really out of walking shape after 8 weeks of zero walking and weeks before that of only doing a limited number of walks due to cold/snow and my foot hurting.

(Saturday I wore sneakers out of the house (instead of the walking shoe on one foot). I’m still wearing the walking shoes at home because I don’t normally leave the sneakers on, and the slippers I’d wear don’t offer much support. I expect I’ll stop doing that after Friday’s final follow-up appointment with the surgeon. Maybe.)

I hit Stewart’s (for milk) on the way home. I did three loads of laundry (including bed sheets, so also stripped and remade the bed). I did the usual amount of hand-washing dishes, as well as a load in the dishwasher, and scooped kitty litter. And I did mow the lawn! While I didn’t need the scarf and gloves, I did need the sweatshirt.

I watched some HGTV programs (I have a backlog of House Hunters International) and read some more. (Another group of shows I like to watch are the heavy duty tow shows on TWC (Highway Thru Hell, Heavy Rescue: 401, and the new Rocky Mountain Wreckers. I like to have them on as background noise when I’m playing games or writing, and I can glance up to watch as much of it as I want. I record them because they don’t air at convenient times.)

I grilled steak for Pip’s supper. (I had Cheerios. o_O)

Temps started out at 48.7(F) and reached 73.2. We had sun most of the day, but there was a chill breeze. We got surprise rain storms around 5pm that lasted several hours, then the sun came out again.

I have rewatched the next few MSW episodes and I wanted to share some thoughts with you. The eps in question are: 2.07 A Lady in the Lake, 2.08 Dead Heat, 2.09 Jessica Behind Bars. With bonus comments on the fourth book in the series!

What are your thoughts on these eps? And the bonus book?

I hit the Pharmacy and the Bakery while I was downtown yesterday, then the library on the way home. (For the second day in a row I forgot to hit the bank drive-thru. *head desk*)

I did two loads of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, and changed kitty litter. I made Gus's potatoes to go with a surprise delivery of BBQ chicken quarters.

I had supper planned, but Pip’s friend dropped off BBQ chicken quarters. It was a surprise to both of us, though it shouldn’t have been to Pip because he’s the one who made the arrangements for his friend to pick them up. *head desk* On top of which, we were already planning to get BBQ chicken on Monday for Memorial Day (the school sells it as a fundraiser), which I guess we won’t be doing now. We got six quarters, though Pip delivered two of them to his parents. Still, we’re not gonna need more BBQ chicken.

For fun stuff I watched the current ep of Murderbot and a couple of HGTV programs, and did some reading (both fanfic and in a published book). I also managed to write ~800 words of fic! It’s been so long. It felt wonderful. I took another nap. Seriously, this weather is killing me. Lastly, my daily telephone conversation with mom.

Temps started out at 46.7(F) and reached 63.3. It rained on and off all day, but the sun actually made an appearance! It was one of those days where you had a bit of sun, then more rain, then sun, then rain . . .

For my own reference, I still have a slight 'bruise' pain from the adjustment, but I now also have fun 'muscle pull' pain in an adjacent area. Not a surprise if I was walking differently to compensate.
