Day 10. When I saw the PT on Tuesday we added 4 exercises, a couple were from previous programs.
New PT program. I haven't been consistent in doing the previous exercises. I'm not sure how much of that will get incorporated - I need to message my new provider the list of exercises.
I admit if I spell something wrong so badly that office/outlook doesn't offer spell check I'll google it. Usually the first result is the word spelled correctly. Not this time. Not helpful. (Managerment)
I requested Do You Dream of Terra Two from the library instead of buying it. I liked it but also very glad I didn't buy it. It dragged in some places and felt rushed in others. It's over 500 pages long. It was nice to read a novel after a string of nonfiction though.
I made sure to take photos of some of my more interesting @houseoftoast.bsky.social creations. And then one of the Toastmaster himself. @sfsmaus.bsky.social ps the sliced grapes on Peanut Butter was inspired by Sam asking B. Dylan Hollis what he'd put on Toast.
I gotta be better at remembering when I watered my plant. I must have watered it yesterday when I took these photos and then again this morning. it's 84 degrees in the room and the plant is away from the window but getting sun. Still healthy looking *and* growing! Not sure if it's rootbound yet.
I'm not sure who is using a screen reader but I know that multiple emojis in a row get tiring to listen to. There aren't any emojis for nonbinary or genderqueer flags and I still don't identify with the trans flags. So heart emojis will have to do.
I have a Kindle book on my phone but wouldn't have been able to read... TV in the urgent care exam room.
Missed my train for this. And it's not even that great of a shot. But I'm glad I saw a 🏴 traffic cone in person.
I've had this mug for so long I forgot where/when I bought it. The First through Twelfth Doctors including the War Doctor...The Thirteenth Doctor's first episode aired in 2018.
Signed up for BPL's Bingo. I don't know if I can finish 23 books in 3 months but I can finish at least 5. The Orange sheet is all books, with Over 500 pages taking up 2 squares thankfully. The Multi colored one includes other activities. I already got a tote bag for signing up. www.bpl.org/bingo/
It's still there today so I'm assuming we get a week 🙂 No idea why the 3 of them were half mast though.
I think originally it lived on Twitter and op has deleted. But I found this screenshot on reddit.
I found this cane online. I don't need it for mobility right now but since I'm planning more leg surgery (one leg at a time) I figured this would be good to buy. Right now I like it on the T so I don't feel too guilty for not getting up when someone needs a seat.
I took the #mbta from Mattapan to Charlestown for a scheduled appointment yesterday. I brought a foldable cane, told myself if I hit a wall, or if the rain was bad I'd uber home. But I was fine taking the T home. Only issue was the crush load getting onto the bus. I moved away nearly 3 years ago...
Mentally I'm getting antsy. I need to be better at finding non screen things to do once I get back home. But I'm on my third book. And I found a haiku hiding in one of my poem drafts I started months ago so there's that.
Wow. I remember this pedestrian sign getting run over multiple times when I still lived at mom's. I wish the city would do something better traffic calming wise. This section of Harvard is on a hill. There are blind spots and folks speeding. This is supposed to be in the middle of the crosswalk.
Lovely little reward for finishing Elyse's book. That's a Great Question, I'd Love to Tell You
I reset the clock to count up as a way to track recovery. Cuz math is hard. (I did the same for my leg surgery last year) I can't believe it's been 2 weeks. It feels like time is flying by and inching slowly at the same time. First post-op appointment is tomorrow.
Thanks to Covid lockdown I still have a few favorite trees closer to mom's house that I can visit.
I didn't bring any coloring or puzzle books. I have my laptop instead. I have my Kindle and 1 physical book. Thankfully I am up to reading. And I'm enjoying this after hearing Annabelle on @depreshmode.bsky.social
So... I still have my uterus. Treated myself to a plushie. There's a bean bag inside that I can heat in the microwave. More cute than practical especially since I can use mom's heating pad.
We have the Fleet game on YouTube playing. Had to duck outside after that overtime! 😬
