This morning I had physical therapy, which was a little painful. After that I drove up to Spring Hill to visit the library, Food Lion, and Kroger. Back home I did some work on the computer and took a fitful nap. I also prepared dinner in the slow cooker. When Luke and Liz came home we played until time to eat. Luke told us about his day during dinner, and afterwards we played and cleaned up. Liz is doing the bed time routine with him now.
I went to the doctor this morning. After having to wait 45 minutes I finally received an audience with his majesty. He stayed about two and a half minutes and seemed pleased with my progress. He wrote me orders for twelve more physical therapy visits and said to return in six weeks. After that I dropped of some books at the library, picked up a few groceries from Kroger, and returned home. This afternoon I drove up to Liz’s office and took her to the dentist in Brentwood. After driving her home I played with Luke. Liz went to dinner with a friend, so I did the whole dinner, bath, and bed time routine with Luke. That got a bit challenging at the end, but we made it through.
I took it pretty easy this morning, then finally got out of bed and messed around on my phone for a while. When it looked like it had warmed up enough I drove down to Sewanee and parked at the terminus of the Mountain Goat Trail. From there I hiked three miles towards Monteagle, then three miles back. It felt great to be outside and to be moving. It wasn’t too cold but I did keep my jacket on the whole time. After finishing I went to Piggly Wiggly. I rested for a couple of hours after lunch then went next door to chat with Debbie for a while. I then drove home via Fayetteville, arriving just a few minutes before Liz and Luke. We built a new line-up, kicked the ball, and did his states puzzle twice while waiting for dinner. At dinner he told us about his day at school. Bed time was pretty rough but he eventually went to sleep.
This morning after Madeline arrived I drove to Lowe’s in Tullahoma to correct an error with my flooring order. From there I headed to the Mountain with a stop in Pelham for lunch. I did computer work and rested for most of the afternoon before going to Piggly Wiggly. There I ran into my friend Dan and we agreed to meet for dinner at Shenanigans a little later. Before going there I stopped by the Templeton Library for sunset. It was a little chilly but lovely. Dinner was nice and we chatted until after ten. Now I’m beat and hope to fall asleep soon.
Today I made a very conscious effort to work my fingers. That was pretty much to the detriment of everything else, other than watching the new Reacher series on Amazon. I do feel like a made a lot of progress on my fingers. The show was good too.
