To me, anyway. did not sleep well at all. Finally got up at 11:30, in a lot of pain. Took pain meds, made coffee. LOLOL Forgot to put the mug under the thing. Remembered at the last minute. Put the lid on the coffee holder backwards, so water going everywhere except over the grounds. Unplugged and fixed that. Okay. Feeling really awful, so much pain, but PT person coming. Would have cancelled but I have decided that people need to see me as I am, not just as I am on a day well enough to deal with them. So she came, we hit it off right away and did a lot of laughing along with the exercise, and before I knew it I was feeling much better. Laughing, moving, or just the pain meds kicking in, I don’t know, but it kind of demonstrated that lying on the couch reading when I am in a lot of pain is not necessarily the best solution. As my friend Beth told me, Motion Is Lotion. Guess it works. PT person said every time I choose lying on the couch for one day, I lose three days of progress I have made. Been doing it wrong for years, but nobody told me. LOL

Last week I had the best week I have had in eons. No idea why, but loved it while it lasted. Walked about a block to a restaurant with a friend, using the Rollator, so two blocks total, and the next day had two medical things and took my laptop to the computer guy, so a lot more walking, with the cane, not the rollator. Doctor says I should be using the rollator all the time, will have to work on that. The restaurant was fantastic, btw. Very expensive, but the food was so good. Tiny little place, very Mediterranean vibe, really nice. And a block away. One block. Just the other side of the post office. Who knew? Not me.

Been really hot and humid the past few days, dew point in the upper 70’s, which is like being in sauna. Thank goodness for air-conditioning. Even it struggles to keep you comfortable when it is that humid, but without it I don’t think I could function at all. High humidity is very bad for you, it seems.

Getting more and more concerned about what is happening in my country, and all the things I’ve been seeing about the 2025 project the Republicans plan to implement if they get in. The end of my country, and stepping right into something very similar to Nazi Germany. Vote BLUE people, for god’s sake. VOTE BLUE. However much you disagree with some of Biden’s policies, at least you will still have freedom and safeguards and you can vote him out next time. If you vote Red, or don’t vote at all, it will be the last time you even have the opportunity to vote, to have any say at all into the kind of country you will be living in. Think about it. It is getting scary, people.
