Well…I finally got some work done today with running out to the bank to order my Pounds and Euros for the trip that I will pick up next week…when I got back here I made a quick lunch as I was doing two loads of laundry and then went out and picked the last of the tomatoes, carrots, and parsley and took the plants down except for the peppers since I still have a Jalapeno and three small green peppers on the plants…will take them down next wed to get them out for pickup…going to make tomato sauce tomorrow to put in the freezer if it comes out okay will probably put a little Italian seasoning in it along with the last small green pepper I have…didn’t work out last year but we’ll see this year…

Well…damn, the moon looked cool this morning and it was so damn bright…and it is cold today in here…only 68 degrees and that is real close to having the heat come on….it’s only 46 outside so I won’t be doing anything out there for a while….I am still really sore from the exercises so I may skip the morning ones today to heal up a bit…didn’t get a thing done yesterday but I do need to go out and get the money for the trip ordered and drop off the water bill…but I sure don’t feel like doing anything right now so I’ll have coffee and just sit here for a while…it’s almost 8 and I did get some laundry in already but that was a lot of work and I don’t want to do much more right now…allergies are just really bad right now and I have been coughing a lot with my eyes just so dry that I have been putting eye drops in them….just feel pretty crappy right now and I even had to put long pants on it is so cold in here….not much to do today…have to figure out what to eat today and I know it’s going to come out of the freezer but I’m not sure what yet….and I want to pick the last of the tomatoes…so maybe I’ll just eat tomatoes today…who knows? More later…

Well…running a bit late this morning with not getting to this until 7am…and I am still sore from the new exercises…hurt just about everywhere and should take something for it before I have to go for the appointment at 10….had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get anything done but I need to get going on cleaning this place up today and running some tomatoes through the food processor to make some sauce before they spoil…going to take the garden down over the weekend so I can put it out next week for pick up…didn’t get much out of it this year and I won’t experiment next year…if I even have a garden…not sure where I’m going to be living or if I’m going to be living…the cancer could still kill me and I’m so tired of being in recovery…maybe I’m just getting old but life sure seems like a lot of work right now……I did marinate some chicken thighs last night and will be cooking them today…was going to grill them but I think I’ll just put them in the air fryer to make it easier….not sure what I’ll make with them since the potatoes are sprouted…maybe I’ll hit Meijers after the rehab appointment this morning…it is going to be cold tonight…down to 48 degrees and I’m sure the heat is going to come on for the first time in August…and then next week it goes back up to near 90…weird, weird weather…more later…

Well…after having two days of the new exercises in, I can say they hurt…a lot…my hamstrings are howling in pain from the new stretches and my back and sides really hurt from the twists she has me doing….and I still have another set to do later in the afternoon…it now takes me almost an hour to do all 9 exercises…have the next to last appointment tomorrow morning and then the last one next Tuesday…and I am going to get back on the bike next Tuesday, too…not for 30 miles but I am going to ride a bit just to take a look at the trail to see what has happened in the past 6 weeks…right now I’m going to turn some soccer on and take it easy for a bit…did the grocery run today sine I have the appointment at 10am tomorrow morning…

Well…damn, firefox just dumped the post I was working on so I need to start over and that sucks…up at around 6 again today so that is about normal for me lately….slept okay but still feel pretty worn out and it may be that I only had a half bowl of the chicken masala and a couple of small tomatoes and that is only around 700 calories…I did get the nice surprise that my rehab is ending next week since my tech said I’ve gotten as far as I can with them and now it’s up to me to continue to improve by doing the exercises…with the new ones they added yesterday, it will take me an hour twice a day….I did thaw some chicken thighs that I need to get in a rub today so I can grill them later in the week and that will be a change from the chicken chunks I have been eating…I do have way too many tomatoes and I need to process them into a sauce with some onions and oregano…have a couple of green peppers from  he garden to put in, too, and then I can have sauce to add to other meals over the winter…not much to do today…it looks like it’s going to rain for a bit but the thunderstorms they forecast are not coming and that sucks…just going to sit here for a bit and have more coffee before I get going…going for what I’m not sure of right now, but something…more later…

Well…just got back from rehab and the tech I’ve been working with thinks I’ll have all of the tools I need to finish so next Tuesday is the last appointment…only 80 more bucks out of pocket for that so that will be a relief…got 5 more exercises to do on the portal and will get a few more and now all I have to do is do them…worked hard at today’s appointment and am feeling it in my legs and I’ll do that again later today…even got a massage on my right leg since Allison thought it was tight and needed some work…it does feel better so that’s cool…not sure what I’m going to do the rest of the day…should clean a bit and I probably will…more later…

Well…damn, it got down to 50 out here last night and I really thought the heat was going to come on…and it still might…not sure where the heat went but 50 in August? I’ve never seen that before and I’m older than dirt…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and need to clean today but I don’t have any motivation right now…have a rehab appointment at 11:45 today but I’ll only do two more and then I’m done…not getting much out of it and at 40 bucks a pop, I’ve put in too much money for nothing….okay, the little weather widget at the bottom of my screen now says “record low” and I wonder if it’s for last night or tonight? Okay, just looked at the weather and it must be for last night since tonight it’s supposed to be 61 tonight…going to start taking the garden out today…or maybe wait one more week…not sure…I do have to figure out what to do with the tomatoes I have…I may seed them and put them in the food processor to make sauce but I don’t have any room in the freezer…probably should take the chicken thighs out so I’ll have something to eat this week…need to clean the fridge out soon so I’ll have nothing in there to spoil when I’m gone….not much to do today…just the rehab and some packing but right now just some more coffee and to sit a bit….more later…

Well…man, I need to get off my butt and start getting some things done around here…haven’t done anything but water the garden, flowers, and grass out front and make lunch so I feel like a slug….so, tomorrow I’ll get back to it and get more packing done but I don’t want to pack my shirts until the day before I leave so they won’t be as wrinkled when I get to the UK…have another rehab appointment tomorrow at 11:45am and I think I’m getting to the end of what I want to pay for…so this week will be the last week…and then I’ll keep up the exercises they have given me and just do them here….I do have to log my exercises from yesterday and today on my rehab page…so I guess I’ll get back to it…

Well..dang, it got cold out here last night and I forgot to close my bedroom window so I was freezing overnight….still cold right now but I can live with it after the heat and humidity….slept okay last night but my allergies are really bad today…I really want to get on the bike and this last week of waiting is going to be hard…I did expect that the heat was going to come on last night with it only 53 right now and having the window open but it hasn’t…the little weather widget at the bottom of the screen is shouting “humid” and “near record lows” still and now I’m waiting for “high pollen” to come up and I will have hit the trifecta….don’t feel too bad right now but I am still discovering new pains and I am not sure where the heck they are coming from…still have the neck pain on my right side and it must be from sleeping on that side lately…don’t have a lot to do today after getting the laundry done yesterday and I have leftover chicken masala to eat today so I don’t have to cook but I should do more than one meal even without getting any exercise….have to figure out what to do with the tomatoes I have in the fridge and plan on getting the garden taken out before the UK trip….I am just do damn worn out…need coffee….more later…

Well…man, it got colder than I expected with the low of around 60 last night and I tossed and turned enough to throw the sheet and blanket off the bed…so I didn’t sleep that well but that’s okay…it is going to be an easy day today with lots of sports and races on…Man U plays at 10 but they have so many injuries so who knows what the team is going to look like…my shoulder, neck, and back hurt today and I wonder if it’s from the swim or from sleeping…all I know is it hurts and I may put the rehab exercises off for a bit…okay, the little weather widget on my screen just changed to “near record lows” for tonight so it will be in the 50’s and I’ll have to close this place up later….yep, just checked and it’s going to be 53 tonight and that is getting close to having the heat come on…in August? That is just too damn weird…it’s supposed to be in the 90’s in August…hmmm…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to do laundry this morning since I need to keep packing and there are clothes in the basket that need to go in the suitcase….have a lot of tomatoes that need to be eaten and I think I may just make today a tomato day and just eat those all day…but, I’m not supposed to eat more than 2 a day to avoid irritation of my bladder as it heals…too many damn restrictions…I really want to get on the bike and we are getting to 5 weeks after the surgery and I wonder if I could try a short ride today? Not much to do today…going to pretty much be a veg day after I get laundry started but it’s not even 7 yet so I have time before I have to get going….more later…
