Day Two of Appointments Done

 Yesterday had rain in the morning and wind in the afternoon. The high was 13C at 9 am with the temperature dropping slowly all day. This morning it is windy, clear, and -3C (windchill -9C). Today is supposed to be sunny and 2C.

Lifestyle

I headed out to New Minas for my Covid vaccine. It was raining lightly at home and was like that until I was half way to my destination. I literally drove into heavy rain like you would when entering a car wash. I had to slow down and drive carefully due to the amount of water on the road. I did hydroplane once. When I got to New Minas, it was raining but the storm had passed. It was on its way to Windsor. 

I only had to wait for 5 minutes to get my vaccine. It was in the walk-in clinic attached to the drug store. I waited 5 minutes after getting the needle and then left. I was fine. 

My next stop was at Canadian Tire. It is a neat store that has car/truck parts, hunting supplies, and home goods. I walked to the back corner of the store to get an ironing board cover. I did wander a bit looking at irons as I need one. I also went looking to see if they had rechargeable light bulbs but they don't. It is a neat store to go into for items. I will be looking again as the summer items are going out on display. 

My last stop was for groceries at Walmart. I had my list and got a few other things I needed. My goal was to check the optometry department. The used to have buy 2 pairs of frames for about $100.00. That seems to be a thing of the past. 

I came home very tired. I was sore and starting to feel cranky. I put away everything and rested for the afternoon. My left hip was sore and I had pain. At midnight, I stretched it and had a loud crack. It is feeling better today but I am still stiff and a bit sore. It could be the snow storm we are to get tomorrow causing me to be sore. 

I did not sew or knit yesterday. I did look for the ball of yarn but can't find it. I am going to put the sock onto a spare needle and start another pair. 

Thoughts

    My body is tired from all the pain I have been having. I have tried to be careful but think I am going to get busy and do some things to see if that will help it. I need to push myself once again and try to get areas more limber. 

    Our weather is being real crappy. We are to have snow/ice pellets tomorrow with warmer weather after that. Nights will still be cool. Spring is dragging its feet and everything looks depressing outside. Brown and dirty looking. It seems like spring is slow arriving in other parts of Canada also. 

Today

I am out for my eye exam today. I hope to be able to do a few things this morning while I wait for my eyes to recover from being dilated. I am thinking about housework and laundry. Once I am able to do other things, I will add them to the list. It is a wait and see day at what I can do. 

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

    I appreciate your "telling it like it is" for us older folks. I've heard people pooh-pooh about body pain before bad weather, but you and I both know it is a real thing. I don't know why, though!
