Well, I slept in until almost 0800 this morning; I did not need to get up early as Stan was not coming back until Monday so that the tile will have a chance to set up. I also did not have any other place that I needed to go, so I had a very relaxing morning.
Kathleen came downstairs before I had a chance to make myself breakfast and asked if I felt like French toast, and I said sure. So we had some French toast with some heavy bread that Kathleen picked up at Harvest Mill Breadmakers and was called "Mountain Jazz". It had Wheat, rye, rice bran,flax seed, honey, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, so it was pretty healthy.
Then after breakfast I put the dishes into the dishwasher and then went outside and raked the front lawn. It was rather windy the other day and a lot more fir branches and cones had fallen again.
I was going to sweep off the driveway but I realized that I was getting tired and probably should quit before I got too tired. So I went into the house and read the mail and the paper, since I had not read it earlier.
By the time I got finished it was time for my lunch so I made myself a turkey sandwich on dark rye with some mozzarella cheese on top and then toasted it in the toaster oven. I also finished the rest of the lentil soup from last night.
Then after waiting a while I decided that I would try and take a walk, I had thought about doing that earlier, but wound up raking the lawn instead. I also decided that I was going to try walk slower than I normally did to see if that might help me walk further without the hip pain.
I managed to walk around our long block and felt relatively good by the time I got back. My hip was a little sore, but that could be from not walking much lately.
Well that is about it for today, a rather uneventful day, but I think that I needed it. With that I think I will go ahead and publish this and say good day!

I thought I would answer your question from yesterday on today's blog page.
Bill's hip is doing a lot better. He is walking with the cane, but occasionally takes a few steps without it. He is no longer in pain which is good. The eye is the same.
I made an appointment for Mom to see a geriatric physical therapist. Her walk is more of a slow shuffle, and her balance is not good any more. Hopefully, the PT will help. This is Jennifer's geriatrics professor who has agreed to see her, so I am very hopeful (if I can get Mom to go).
We are due for more snow tonight. Jennifer and Jeremy are taking off for the mountains this morning to ski for a few hours. It is too cold to ski for long.
Have a great day today.
