10,294 steps yesterday.

Ran a couple of errands and took up the garbage to the road. Didn't plan on the errands but since the crystal lady was a no-show decided to get them done yesterday and free up the rest of the week.

Backing off a little seems to have helped the nighttime leg cramps. None since I went down a couple thousand steps.

10,549 steps yesterday.

Feeling OK so I guess this is a good number for the time being. I really don't want to push it so this works.

After crystal lady, just some chores around the house and probably a laundry, not much else.

Wow! What a day yesterday was! The crystal lady was like a different person! She just tossed off all the messages as nothing..."Oh I didn't mean to send those... it was the Retrograde and the full Moon that had me upset." Um, OK???? This woman has some serious problems, Her personality flips, almost a multiple personality. I did tell her that pricing won't be "give away" amounts any more but still well below wholesale. She seemed to understand. I did get my book back and the payment owed. She purchased a few small items and then had to go open her shop. I suggested we wait until after the first of the year to meet again. I am not going to budge on any pricing and hopefully that will be it. I won't be rude and tell her not to come back but I think the honest pricing will keep her away.

All this before 9am in the morning!! The rest of the day I just did som small chores and started doing some pricing on what I have in stock so I know exactly what each lot cost me for future reference when selling to her or anyone else.

TM started giving trouble again. Just got it serviced and a PCB changed a few days ago. But given that it was partly functional, I did get some exercise.

10,871 steps yesterday. Seems to be a good spot, no aches or pains at this rate so far.

Not much planned for today. other than Chewy order arrives today with 3 big boxes to unpack. They are doing great delivery wise so far this season. Packages shipped yesterday from Reno NV delivery here today. Fed EX is better at this point than Amazon by a long shot.

I read there is a big strike somewhere in the Amazon delivery hubs, so delivery could be an issue, don't remember where, it was an article that fell behind a paywall before I could read it all.

Got the TM fixed. Apparently the guy who had come earlier had goofed up the connection that lead to the PCB. Hopefully, there will be no malfunction now.

10,861 steps yesterday.

Doing laundry always adds steps and then a couple errands (I wanted to get crystal lady's check deposited) helped too. I did do a fair amount of sitting though. Then late afternoon my friend called and asked if I wanted to go into town with her and have a coffee at a new little place and go to the PO. Sounded fun and so I went. We walked around town some and had a nice outing that gained me probably 1.500 steps to boot!

Nothing on agenda today but that is always subject to change...

11,504 steps yesteday.

More than expected. I've been trying to walk a bit more in the morning hours instead of evening. I normally do my computer things and basic chores in the morning so I trying to spread them out over the day to get more steps in early. Seems more balanced that way.

Need to do some tiding up in the kitty's house today and break down the mound of Chewy boxes that have accumulated. It looks like a distribution center for Chewy in the other half of the garage!

Forgot to post. I did do some TM before I had a visitor and I had to abandon it midway. Don't remember the stats except that the cal count was 130.

Well, I had an accident today. I was moving my old TV, turned it upside down to remove the stand in order to fit it into a box to put out in the garage for now and I lost my grip and it slammed down my shin ripping the skin as it went. I was afraid it was down to bone so went to urgent care to have it checked out. Fortunately it didn't get down to bone so she stitched me up, 11 stitches, gave me a tetanus shot, and a rx for two different antibiotics. Had it been down to bone, I would have been sent to emergency for x-rays and further treatment. Thank goodness it wasn't! It is pretty darned sore tonight!!

This is definitely going to slow down my walking!! Darn and I was really getting in a good place with it too!
