Blog time 1015 at Panera

Up at 0645.  It was 27 but the no sun until 0748.  Nancy is going swimming this morning and this afternoon will work at Gardens.

Today is my easy Wednesday.

Light calisthenics at home then biked to Panera for oatmeal and croissant.  Did my morning reading before heading home.  Today my bike route home was 4.25 miles.

At home showered and had quick lunch.  On my way to my 1300 Doctor’s appointment I stopped at Lighting Center.  Purchased a new 3 way bulb for an office light.  The big box stores do not carry this bulb.

Today is St Patrick’s Day.  It is also the birthday of GGF Sanborn.  GGF Sanborn was 82 today in 1938.  I use GGF’s diary as a data source when writing this blog.

St Patrick’s Day 1956.  I was a senior in high school.  A class mate invited several friend to a ST Pat’s party.  We had green beer, and green baloney on green bread.  I emailed several attendees if they remembered.  They all replied saying Great Party but we were so young.

At my 1300 appointment with my GP I explained my problem. It is that my left hip hurts after walking or standing for a long time.  Following standard GP procedures he twisted and pulled my leg and determined my problem needs a specialist.  He will set me up with a Joint Dr.

I had a hernia operation last November.  Recently I have some pain near the operation site, especially after doing sit-ups and leg raises.  Doc says take it easy for several weeks.

At home I did a load of laundry.  Also took out the trash and recyclables.  Finished the afternoon with a nap.

Nancy said the Gardens were busy this afternoon. The Butterflies are in full bloom.

We had our standard Wednesday dinner followed by the news.  After we watched an episode of Queen’s Gambit.  

Debbie FaceTimed this evening.  Her new dog, Violet, is keeping her busy.

At 2100 we FaceTimed Missy and AJ.  They were going through security at LAX.  Their flight to Istanbul leaves at 2200 EDT.  We wished them well on their exciting journey.

Light rain when checked outside at 2200.  Rain most of the night.  Very high winds tomorrow.
