Another headachy day - the dust of cleaning this last few days really clobbered me. The last batch of curtains is in the wash and was taken down very carefully.

With all of this extra laundry and heavy-duty stuff going through, I realized the dryer was taking a long time so went out to the vent and cleared out a buildup of soggy lint. It's drying much faster now.

I'm getting a shot in one knee for arthritis, and this last one left quite a colorful bruise, but at least I'm back in motion for all of the holiday activities ahead. I've put off mowing the front yard for way too long, but tomorrow I'll take a rake to scoop all of the oak leaves in the gutter up onto the lawn and I'll mulch it into the turf. This kind of activity is easier when the knee is back in working condition. (I was hoping a rainstorm would wash away the leaves, but so far, no such luck.)

I need to start going to the gym. I think once I get myself in the door it'll be easier, but in my past experience gyms are boring places. I'll pick a good book and take my earphones and at least do the treadmill.
