Dec 15, 2013
My first wife has passed away several years ago, but, I must wish her Happy Birthday.  The 15th, it was a fun day for the 8 birthdays we were together.  --- Last night I took the pain pills before laying down and it worked.  Shortly after "Sound of Music" was over I fell asleep and it was one of the bet nights sleep I've had since coming home.  --  Up at 6am and decided to do a set of exercises before showering.  Did the once with the mat laid out on the bed.  This includes pulling the knee as far back as I can stand and holding it for ten seconds, doing this ten times, resting and starting over.  It is a killer.  There are 6 different exercises and I felt like I had had a work out by the time I was done.  --  Took my pills, all but the pain.  Showered, and then fixed breakfast.  Cereal and an English Muffin.  Load of clothes to the the Glass Studio.  Trying to figure out how to do the walk, looks like it will rain some more and I really do not want to be out walking and it start pouring.  If it wasn't so hard to get in and out of the truck I would head to Walmart.  Maybe later.  --  Sun broke through the clouds so off on my walk I went.  Managed the perimeter of the upper park where my lots are.  Farthest in one hitch so far, it does hurt a little, however, I have not taken a pain pill this morning.  Now back in my chair wondering what this afternoon will bring.  --- Temperature is dropping and I wonder if the front coming through has to do with my knees hurting worse than they have been.  Still not taking a pain pill.  Heated up the last of the Friday pizza for lunch and watched the first half of the Bucs football game sitting in my lift chair.  By half time I was going stir crazy, went out to get my laundry load and discovered that it was considerable cooler.  Back inside I decided to bake some cookies.  I had received a cookie gun with different designs for Christmas last year and thought that it was time to give it a try.  I should of used the recipe that came with the gun, but I didn't, I used my regular sugar cookie recipe.  It gummed up the end, however, I got them made.  I think that it should count as exercises as I was on my knee for most of 2 hours.  Sent most of them home with Red, I know Becky likes cookies.  --  When 5 o'clock rolled around I ate the other $2.00 Subway for supper.  I am planning on taking the pain pills to assure that I can get a good nights sleep.  So for another day, Till Tomorrow.
