Well…woke up to a pleasant surprise this morning that my left hip is hurting much less than yesterday…have been able to walk almost normally and that is a relief after hobbling around here yesterday…woke up at 5 or so today but laid in bed til a little after 6 and I needed that…haven’t been sleeping all that well and any chance to get some more than normal is welcome…didn’t get much done yesterday but I do need to mow the lawn today and the plan is to get two rides in outdoors first and then mow the lawn…but it’s supposed to be warmer than the 51 it is right now…and then I’ll see if I do a third ride today…going to rain tomorrow so I may put the new shifter on the bike and ride indoors…almost at 3,000 miles for the year so I will get to halfway by the end of the month…it looks like thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and that will be cool to watch…will wash the bike and take it downstairs after the last ride today and might even start taking it apart…I really should get some cleaning done today but with mowing the lawn, that is enough…I think the broccoli has come up in the garden and I have one chili pepper plant that has come up in the cups out back and I really hope I get more of those since my jalapeno supply in the freezer is dwindling….not much to do today…damn, I really want to figure out how to take it easy and relax at some point…this go, go, go is getting tiring….more later…
