rogaine base building 47:25 [1] 2.77 mi (17:07 / mi)
weight:138lbs
Corner store and post office loop, plus an extra trip down to the road to carry out the trash. An inch or two of snow/sleet overnight, currently mostly sleet. So traction was rather poor. I suppose that's good -- had to work a lot harder and got to spend a little more time out. And I was dressed about right so it was perfectly pleasant.
rogaine base building 35:45 [1] 1.7 mi (21:02 / mi) +459ft 16:45 / mi
Up South Sugarloaf. Slow going and hard work, a couple of inches of crusty sleet, slip back a little on every step. But glad to be able to do it. 20:45 up, 15:00 down, quite dark by the time I finished.
Also about 20 minutes of shoveling.
Also about 20 minutes of shoveling.
Note
It's strange, I look back on the last couple of weeks (well, 16 days to be precise) and the gut feeling I have about them is they have been the best couple of weeks of my life.
Which makes no sense at all, logically, one of those weeks with a catheter, lots of time peeing myself, 6 holes in my belly.
But, for example, I look at today's 20 minutes of shoveling not as a pain-in-the-ass chore, but just wonderful, something I can do that I didn't expect to be able to do. And it's like that with lots of little things, all better than expected. And I find myself in such a good mood, euphoria really. And even the incontinence, and I do so hope that I get it under control, even that can't break the good mood. For someone who has been tending towards manic-depressive all his life, it is wonderful, and a little scary.
We will see how long it lasts.
