Done Since 2024-01-28

We have been making great progress in packing up the contents of Rainbow's End North and putting it into storage, mainly thanks to N's presence both last weekend and this. This will hopefully finish next weekend (I'm going up with N on Wednesday); Habitat for Humanity are scheduled to send out a truck a week from tomorrow, and hopefully I will be able to hire a junk hauler for later that week.

Does that make it a good week? I'm not sure. Everything in the house brings back memories, which I think is why it's taken so long, and hurts so much. See Monday for the worst of it. On the gripping hand Ticia and Cricket, our two oldest cats, got their arthritis shots Friday, and are feeling much better. That stuff is worth at least half a life. Meanwhile, as I am writing this, Bronx is snoozing in his box on my desk.

Wednesday I had an appointment with a pelvic floor physical therapist, who assured me that I've been doing Kegel exercises correctly (and gave me some new ones), and with one of my urologists, who told me officially that I can stop using a catheter. Which I did a month ago, but now they know it too. And posted a rant, which made me feel mildly accomplished.

I've started tracking my walks more closely, using $G's app for steps and timing. (Their mileage is off because I won't let the app track me, but that's what trip planning maps are for.) I am still not up to 150 minutes/week, but getting there.
