What are you doing today?

I replaced a malfunctioning part of the control unit for my heating system, disassembled the inside unit of my mini-split and cleaned it all, reassembled it. Took my dogs for a walk in the light rain before the downpour started, chilling out now and trying to figure out what to make for
supper. Yesterday may have been my last motorcycle ride for the year unless we get some freak warm weather. Bummed because it's a couple months before I can ski.
 

Went to the doctor for my first post-op check up. He says I can keep the knees.

To be honest it is hurting more, he said that was normal and a sign my nerve endings are recovering. I think he's right, less numbness now, I preferred the numbness. I have started to drive and the doctor said that was ok, just so I don't do it when taking the oxycodone.

I got both the high-dose flu shot and the bivalent covid booster today (should have read this thread first!). So far just a mild headache that has mostly gone away. I got the shots in different arms.

The weather was very nice, sunny and mild, and the trees are changing colors here in Maryland, very pretty. One little tiny leaf fell on me, I took its picture...

Beautiful new knees!!!
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I realized today that I hadn’t been taking my daily walk since this happened to my friend so I made time for one and it really helped with my mood.
The hot water commercial boiler in my condo building died 16 days ago. It took this long to find a replacement and get it installed. A hot shower never felt so good. Then I ran the dishwasher. I am so sick of washing dishes by hand.
 
Yesterday went well. Good Tai Chi session and the doc was happy with my progress and will see me after another full blood test in 3 months :) Looks lke I'm ready to go to the actual gym and do some light workouts! EEEK!
A gardener bloke is coming today to finish off the front garden that he left like a building site 6 weeks ago, and power wash the drive and flagged area round the back. We've had the two daft sheds moved to a more sensible place (they were across the back of the bungalow) and once all is jet washed we can see what we'll do to make it a bit more interesting :)

I painted the front stoop today after scraping off the peeling stuff yesterday. Took about an hour and a half. The previous paint job lasted about 10 years with some touching up. The paint was $51 a gallon. Ten years ago it was $40.

that's a fair mark-up... here at the moment... things are going up by that price in a week
 
It's raining... I love it when it's raining and I get to stay at home.. so cosy... . In a little while I have a Zoom meeting, which usually lasts about an hour.. 🤗

Last night I had a dreadful sleep, full of nightmares, and then at about 5 am I woke up coughing, just couldn't stop for about 2 hours, I have no idea why... still coughing a little bit now.. :oops:
