Well…cripes, my allergies are just terrible this morning after not taking anything for them last night and I am miserable…but I think I’ll tough it out today and wait until later to take anything for it…I think I’m going to take the day off from painting today since climbing up and down the ladder yesterday really flared my gout in the right foot and it was really swollen and hurting last night…it’s better this morning but I do need to take care of it by keeping it elevated and drinking way too much water today…I am going to get out on the bike today but only for one ride…it looks like the 5K goal for the year is gone since I can’t do the 30 miles a day that I need to do to get there….oh, well…and the trail is so flooded that I can’t get 15 in anyway….and that is going to get worse with the rain that is forecast for the next few days….and it’s going to be in the upper 80′s Monday and Tuesday and I am looking forward to that…I really like the hot weather….and I’ll be sitting on the front porch watching the storms when they come in….not much to do today…going to listen to Joe Walsh on the radio today when he does a radio show for a public radio station in California at 6 tonight…well…on the internet since I don’t think the radio will carry all the way from Cali….should be a hoot…but I’m not going to do much more…need a day off to rest the foot and take care of myself….just wearing out and I don’t like it….more later…
