On Sunday, following my accident, I had zero interest in doing any yard work, so it was a huge relief to feel up to working again yesterday. First, however, we walked with our friends after I tidied up the house.
It was very warm during our walk, so we are going to start walking half an hour earlier starting tomorrow. I had no pain in my arm, and I used it all day. I’m not going to change the bandage yet. I don’t want to risk making it bleed. When we got home, I chatted briefly on Zoom with David (who lives in London, UK) and then Pinecone Park’s legitimate residents had lunch.
After lunch I got busy with raking but no toting. It was very hot, so after raking the detritus in the largest weed field at the far end of the lot, I needed a break in the nice cool house. I had a good rest before logging into a Zoom call with Aidan and Darren from BC Emergency Services. Now comes writing our course that all paramedics in BC will be advised to take as part of their professional development. The course will educate people about stuttering and advise them on how to best communicate with dysfluent people. I’m very excited about what we are doing, and I’m very proud to be part of the effort.
Today I will tote, assuming my arm can sustain the work. But first, a thorough watering must be done. I spot watered yesterday, so today it’s the big drink for my flora. Tomorrow, I will work on the courtyard if I don’t do it today, and then I can finally get to spreading fertilizer around.
I lent Ursula, my lovely neighbour, the car to go to her doctor appointment, so Sheba and I walked the trail at the end of our street. It was f’ing hot yesterday. It gets too hot to work after noon. It’s times like yesterday that I really appreciate how cool my house stays.
At 16:00, all of us on the north end of the island lost our Internet. I was relieved to find it restored this morning,
When I went to bed, the temperature was down, but it was still mighty warm. It was 25° at 20:00, and it’s not much cooler this morning. I’ll be watering, raining and toting today.
