Yesterday I sold the chromebook that I keep in the bedroom. So today I pulled out an old one that I cannot sell on Amazon because I bought it refurbished). I only paid $125 for it. It's an odd shape - a very wide screen which is kind of nice. The keyboard and trackpad are great. The problem is that it's huge and heavy. But, hey, it works fine and dandy and I'm not going to take anywhere.
My foot is way better this morning. It's still swollen but hurts a lot less and not so swollen that I can't get my boots on. So I will be getting my 20 minutes of walking in today. My plan is to walk to brunch. There's a diner that's about 5 blocks from here and then a nice hotel restaurant about 10 blocks from here. My plan is to start out and see how it goes. I may do the diner today and save the hotel for a better foot day. After the diner, I'll get in the rest of my 20 minutes by taking the long way home.
I'm totally 100% hooked, I think, on this fitness tracking thing... I set up so that the results build two spreadsheets every night. Here's the results from the activity one:
Wednesday was a half day. Clearly Friday was the winner. I need to do more of that.
The sleep one is not as interesting or compelling.
One of these nights - the second one, I think, I felt like I didn't get good rest. The others, I felt like I got a good night's sleep. But they all pretty much look the same here.
But it's all interesting to see it laid out.
So I will hit the streets. I just realized that I will need more than 20 minutes today to compensate for no swimming. hmmmm. Then home to listen to the game. It's not on TV today. There's also a soccer game tonight so the neighborhood will be lively.
This next week is Chef Anita on Tuesday and the housecleaner on Wednesday. I'm glad they are in the same week. I like having good food and a clean house, I'm just not so much a fan of the doing of it all. It will be good to get it done and be free for another month.
Now it's time to get up and get dressed and set the two wind up clocks and the stove and microwave. Happily everything else sets itself.

I got my boots on without a problem and my foot was really ok. My calf, however, was really sore. I think from limping around yesterday. Once I hit the street, however, I forgot about both the foot and the calf so I think we can call it good.
The diner was closed. Bad. So I went on to the hotel. I had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath but not for long. I did find myself wishing for red lights at every intersection. The hotel turns out to be exactly 20 minutes from the house. Nice!
It's a lovely, comfortable place. They offer you actual real newspapers - NY Times, Seattle Times or WSJ. They have very high quality finishings. I love the silverware they use. They put a coffee pot on the table which is really very pretty. And pours coffee all over everywhere when you try to use it. The menu isn't too exciting. And my omelette wasn't horrible but it was working hard to be mediocre. The potatoes were nearly cold.
They brought my check when I was not even halfway done eating. I put my credit card on top of it and that, apparently, made me invisible. The check was for $19.79. The only cash I had were 20 dollar bills. Finally after I waited a long time, I switched out the credit card for 2 twenties. Still nothing. So, in the end, I gathered up my stuff, grabbed one of the 20's and spit. Fuck'em.
It used to be a great place. Fun menu, great service, good food. Oh well.
On the way home I passed by the only place in the 'hood which is actually open for Sunday brunch now. It's not my favorite but it was packed - as in zero seats left. hmmmm
But, I did get food and I did get 20 minutes worth of walking in ... twice! I can live with that.
