An easy-going, comfortable Wednesday is winding down.
Rode along with the wife to Universal City and back earlier this evening. She had some shopping to do, I waited in the car.
Listening now to the Rangers / Astros ALCS Game. My Rangers have won the 1st two games in this best of 7 game series. Tonight is the 3rd game. Be nice if we win.

Getting things done this Tuesday. Monitoring my finances with an eagle-eye following last week's phone hack. All looks well at the moment, but I'm going to be watching things super closely for at least another month or so, then I'll register with Experian or some similar agency to watch things along with me.
Glad that both my Rangers and my Cowboys won their games yesterday. Tonight I'll try to catch a radio broadcast of the Phillies / Diamondbacks game.
And those hips: I've had worse days and I've had better days. Schlepping my clothes to the machines in the garage and back to my room while doing my laundry this afternoon is today's exercise. Pretty lame, huih? Oh well.

Not a bad Monday: I was able to call my car insurance company to give them updated billing info, called my doctor's office to give them my new phone number, switched two regular donations I make away from credit cards I've decided to freeze, taking care of business stuff.
My Texas Rangers won game # 2 of the best of 7 ALCS series against the Astros earlier today, and tonight I listen to my Dallas Cowboys playing the Los Angeles Chargers. My baseball team won today, and if my football team wins tonight, that'll be really nice!
The hips: really wonky this morning, not so bad during the middle of the day, and not so good this evening. Meh. At least they weren't bad all day.

Happy Sunday, everyone. Still home-bound with my wonky hips, I'll be depending on NFL games through the day and the Rangers MLB ALCS game vs the Astros tonight to keep me properly entertained.
And about those hips, as I explained to my daughter and son-in-law yesterday, recovery is happening but not in a straight line progression. Some days are better, but some days aren't. The good days never see me 100% recovered, but the bad days now aren't nearly as bad as most days were during July, August, and September. The general trend is clearly good, there are more better days than bad. And for that I'm thankful!! And I can look forward to being 100% better “some day” in the future.

Midday Saturday and all is well in the Roscoe-verse.
Sylvia and I enjoyed a video chat several hours ago with my daughter and her family back in Indiana, and she used her special protective glasses to view the annular eclipse as it passed through San Antonio.
I've got College Football games to keep me entertained today. Without any particular emotional attachment to any of the teams playing, this will be easy watching,. Relaxing, not overly exciting.
The hips are not as strong as they have been the last couple of days, but they're still in better shape than they have been for the previous weeks and months. I'm needing to use the walking stick again when moving around the house today
And so it goes.

Friday the 13th. HA! Today my stupid hips began feeling better than they have in months! Yay! Still not 100% normal, far from that. But at least I'm able to walk around the house without cringing in pain and without the fear of falling and without the walking stick in my hand.

So it's Thursday and my hips are less painful and wonky than they were yesterday. And that's a good thing. Maybe I'll be able to resume some of the light strengthening and stretching exercises soon. That will be nice.

Slow-down Wednesday.
For the past week I've been super busy recovering from that horrible phone hack. I think all the bleeding has been stopped, now it's a matter of keeping a very close watch on my accounts and services, looking for anything suspicious that needs correcting.
Yesterday found me spending too much time on my feet, taking care of business at my bank that had to be handled face to face. And today my hips are paying the price for that. More weak and painful than has been the case for several days. Darn.
Hoping for a more comfortable, relaxed day tomorrow.

A pretty good Tuesday in the Roscoe-verse, this, all things considered.
Hips continue to be painful and wonky, but there are moments during the day when they're not too bad. I still need to use the walking stick at all times when getting about.
Still dealing with the after effects of last week's phone hack.

Not the best of Mondays, but far from the worst.
Hips are still painful and wonky, but not all the time. From hour to hour there are times when they feel almost normal. Then they get shaky and painful again. So I have to keep a walking stick handy, even though I don't always need it.
