A Day of Busyness In The City

 Yesterday was cloudy, windy, and cold with a high of 4C. This morning it is partly cloudy and 2C. Today is supposed to be sunny turning cloudy this afternoon with a high of 14C. It is supposed to rain tonight. 

Lifestyle

I was out the door to osteopathy and had my last treatment until fall as the therapist is going to start maternity leave shortly. The visit was a great one as she loosened muscles that were tight. I had thought one sore spot was my hip joint but it was a muscle. She also worked on the adductor and it finally released its tight spot and relaxed like spaghetti in boiling water. I was tired when she finished with me and could have gone to bed for several hours. 

When done the visit, I headed into Bedford to meet daughter-in-law. It was time to do our crazy. We headed to the area where patio furniture is sold and had to wait for help. A person was so helpful in trying to get us someone. While daughter-in-law waited for the table and box of chairs to be put onto dollies, I went a got a few groceries I needed. I headed back to her and followed along behind while she paid for the set. 

We are certain the men didn't think we could get the set into our cars. We knew better. The table was put into daughter-in-law's car as she has more length. The box was tipped on its side and was put into my car. Room to spare even if it was only a small bag of groceries. We thanked the men for their help as they stood looking as us like we had gone to the moon and back again. What they don't know is what we have put into these cars. Beds, desks, chairs, and enough groceries to feed an army. 

After a quick lunch, we headed home. It was time for me to get heat on my leg from the treatment. I sat down and promptly fell asleep for a good hour or more. Once I was awake, I walked around the house but didn't do anything much. I had to be out the door to pick up grandson from school, have dinner, and attend a meeting. 

Thoughts

    I am so grateful that the osteopathy therapist got the adductor muscle to release and relax yesterday. The pain it was causing was pulling my knee cap inward making it sore. It was also causing other muscles to be sore as they tried to support my leg and knee. I walked well in the store with a nice stride. I am hoping that all will continue to be good and that the tired muscles will recover and the adductor remains relaxed and doing its job properly. 

    We are talking about starting to walk at the arena again. It will be nice to be back at it again. I will be walking with my walking poles until I know my muscles are strong enough for me to walk without them. I have missed walking and am looking forward to starting again. 

    I am going to spend some time researching meal planning. I have Chef's Plate coming for 3 weeks while I get my plan together. It is going to be a bit of a job as I have to figure out what recipes I want to make and how to make them for one person. 

Today

I have to do a few things today including laundry, getting a few groceries, and some odds and ends. I want to sew this afternoon and knit tonight. A slower day for me. 

Until the next time.........................................................
