One very long day. Long, but good. Most of this day was taken up in preparation for tonight's Assembly meeting, and then the meeting itself was a good one, though much longer than it otherwise would have been had our Election Chairman's printer been working. Still, business was conducted smoothly. And I was elected to the position of Faithful Navigator again. So I'll be way busy for the next Fraternal Term, July 01 2023 till June 30 2024.
But now I'm tired and headed to bed.

For the last couple of days I've stopped using Tylenol and Ibuprofen, but now I'm thinking that wasn't such a smart idea. Even though the Doctor and nurses at the ER a few weeks told me to use them to deal with the soreness from my fall back on the 7th, I've been concerned about possible liver and kidney damage that could be caused by those two OTC meds.
But the soreness has been increasing since going off those pain killers. And now I'm headed to the medicine cabinet to get some Tylenol. Think I'll see if I can make do with lighter doses.

So I caught myself midday thinking, “Man, I'm glad it's Friday! It's been a long week!” Then I realized it's only Monday. Oh, drat!

I many ways, this Sunday has been my best day in two weeks. Though I was typically sore when I woke this morning, that soreness steadily declined as the day wore on. To the point there have been moments later in the day when, if I didn't move much, I'd be relatively pain free. And my movements, if I was careful about it, didn't hurt all that much.
Hoping for another good night's sleep tonight and another good day tomorrow.

And this home run puts the Rangers up 11 to 1 in the middle innings of their game vs. the Rockies. Sweet! And I've finally finished compiling and organizing material to take to the title bonding folks next week. Hope we can finally put that chore behind us.

Not my favorite Friday. Despite having a better night's sleep than is my norm, I woke with a general physical soreness, especially my lower back and hips, that stayed with me all day.
Aggravation came when monitoring my bank accounts activity. My primary bank wasn't updating information properly. They apologized, but... still.
Hoping for another good night's sleep and a better day tomorrow.

Tired this evening. physically and mentally. Not unexpectedly so. My back, from my shoulders to my hips sore from yesterday's yard work. The brain tired from organizing work done and making a report on activity related to our attempts to get a copy of am old auto title.
Hoping for a good, restful sleep tonight.

Okay then. I DID mow the front yard this morning. And I DID trim that big ash tree in the front yard. And YES, just that amount of work pretty much wiped me out for the rest of the day, as expected. This afternoon I gave myself a good close haircut, I used my new head shaver,. and I shaved off my beard, too.
And my Rangers are leading the Braves 3 to 2 going into the 5th inning.

Two of the three major chores I'd set for today were handled well, but the third has become more complicated than I thought it would be. Through no fault of my own. But taking care of it will involve an unexpected phone call, and a visit to my primary care doctor's office later this week. Oh well, maybe that'll actually be for the best.
Tomorrow morning I hope to get out and mow my front yard. Thankfully I've a good stash of aspirin, Tylenol, and ibuprofen. I know my back ...

Monday has been quietly successful. Handled a few chores and voice and text comms well during the day and ending it this evening listening to tonight's radio call of a Rangers vs Braves game over my little “Echo Show” device (thanks Heather and Terry) while watching a visual display of the game with all stats updated in real time on the TV back in my room on the MLB Gameday broadcast caught by my little Raspberry Pi computer.
