susandennisThe second load of laundry is now washing. First load drying. The bed has clean sheet.
I refolded and organized the shirts in my closet and culled out what Goodwill will soon be wearing.
It's warm enough for short sleeves but currently my arms look like I am a victim of elder abuse or have some horrible disease. I have bruises and blood spots all over both arms. Between the years of sun before sunscreen and my aspirin a day the skin on my arms and hands is paper thin. The slightest bump nets me a blood bruise. They look gross. And I get them all the time. I got two this morning just changing the sheets.
I'm sure there are other parts of me equally unsightly but I have to look at my arms and hands all day every day so I think there won't be many short sleeved days any time soon. Fortunately, Walmart carries a very light weight long sleeved shirt in nice colors that does not look horrible. I just popped onto their website and ordered a few. When I got to checkout it asked me if I wanted to use my $5 gift card. ?? I have no clue how I happened on a $5 Walmart gift card but ok.
I have decided that the hand (and foot) cramps is absolutely due to the cholesterol medication I was taking. After Saturday's experience, I stopped taking it. No more hand cramps and I have not had to stop swimming once because of foot cramps. I sent my doctor a note and he is switching me to another kind.
No work today and I don't expect any which means I do not have to stick around here all day. I probably will but it's nice to have the freedom. I will run a couple of errands after swimming, probably.
No more news from my bother so I'm assuming all is fine and dandy.
The Mariners play their first home game tonight. Nice.
