I woke around 7. I’d hoped to sleep until 8, but it wasn’t in the cards. I took my morning walk slowly today, about 23 minutes for the mile. And I did the “high mile” so I didn’t go all the way down the hill. Trying to take it easy because my left leg has been really achy and I’m not sure what’s going on with it. It’s sore all up and down. Maybe I’m adjusting my gait and the changes are moving up and down the chain. Whatever it is, it’s annoyingly painful.
My stomach is still being bubbly and gassy and painful as well. I should probably drink some prune juice tonight, try to help things move through the system. Or maybe some of the canned prunes I got from my neighbor. They’re yummy.
Family zoom was a bit delayed because my parents were helping out a colleague/friend who is having some health issues. They’ll be going over to check on his cat soon. She’s a shy one, but my dad is very much a cat guy, so maybe she’ll come out for him.
My brother had to leave a bit early to board his flight; and he might be in the air on the next call. That’s what he gets for having a job with so much travel. I ended up sharing some photos that I took the last time I visited my Nonna, my dad’s mom. And then my dad shared some memes.
I recently downloaded all my photos from google. I’m going to upload them to my microsoft cloud account because we paid for extra storage there. I don’t want to be paying for extra storage in two places. Well, three places, because I’m paying an annual fee to GoPro for cloud storage that automatically uploads what I film on my GoPro. So, two is the limit.
I finally started the process of bonding the broken piece of my trike. Which means I’ve had the kitchen fan running all day, and I had the window cracked for most of the day to reduce fumes. It’s not a vital piece; I could have ridden without it, but I haven’t had the chance with the way the weather’s been. With a melt coming on, I should be able to ride it again soon. Then again, I should be able to drive soon. Not sure on that exact timing, but we’re moving on it.
After yesterday’s toilet adventures, I decided to clean the toilets today. And I got into a bit of a rhythm and ended up scrubbing the bathroom sinks as well. I probably could have cleaned more, but I’m glad I got some done. I studiously ignored the dishes in the sink. A real trick considering one of them is the biggest pot I own that practically fills one whole side of the sink.
I had Friday Spaghetti for lunch and dinner. It’s even better as leftovers – one of the reasons I chose to cook such a large batch.
I’ve been feeling kind of blah all day. Just like this tired and sad feeling. I’ve had some crying outbursts. Yelling. Slapping my hand against the front door.
I finished up the last day of the second week of the level 2 Head & Neck program. Halfway through. I’ll probably do a quick 15 minutes tomorrow rather than start week 3, because I’ve got the concert showing in the evening. Will probably skip the afternoon walk so I’ll be ready to go when my ride arrives.
I wonder if the leg aching is a cause or a symptom of the blah feeling. I hope I can sleep well tonight. Maybe I’ll take some cold medicine. Mix up the sleep aids so as not to lose efficacy. I’m tired, but it feels like one of those nights where I’ll get into bed and be unable to stop my head from spinning. I’m still feeling a bit of lightheadedness today. Been feeling that since Friday. Maybe Thursday. I think it’s part of the flare up.
I miss him so much. He would be taking care of me.
