Up and at em

I got up and out of bed early. I thought I'd go swim and then to water aerobics and walk for an hour. 3 hrs proved too ambitious.

Afterwards I started the yard work, got the grass cut and the weeds pulled and have a pile 4 feet tall at the curb 8 hrs. Got a bag or so of oranges picked too. I need a new aluminum 8 ft. ladder. My wooden one is split and Armando didn't want me climbing it. It's also too heavy. My back is killing me.

The state sent me a letter telling me to go see a spine surgeon. They gave me 3. I called them. I don't know if it's another one or Dr. M, from J. Hopkin's was enough. They may only qualify the thoracic not lumbar area,

Went to the store for water and groceries. I felt a little smug watching people buy lemons and oranges. I got a new sun hat too. I need that sunscreen it's 75.

Once home, I made a meatloaf sauteed some mushrooms, roasted 2 butternut squash for soup and put the groceries away.

I also got rid of Armando's clothes and hat,goro, from the garage as well; when I got the lawn mower out.

Made my oatmeal for the week and now I need to start the soup. Do you have any idea how much sodium store bought soup has? I need to make my own stock again too.

I stopped at the library and got myself a bag of books. At their book sale I got one graphics novel for school and one for me.
