Another two steps back, It’s setting in

So after my shoulder started feeling somewhat better on Thursday and Friday for the second time in as many weeks I had a relapse.  All weekend it has felt like shit which will prompt me to finally pick up the phone and call someone to have it looked at.  On top of all the other negative things swirling around in life right now having only one functional arm is the cherry on top that I do not need.

On Saturday I kept my chores light, pretty much isolated to chicken care and weeding the property.  Cindy and I visited Lowes instead of Home Depot, a rarity.  The reason we went there is the need for more of the paint that is on the majority of the interior, which was bought from Lowes 10 years ago.  Ironically we walked out of there without the paint because of a ridiculously long line at the pain counter.  We did walk out with a new umbrella for the patio and a couple plants.  Since Cindy has been furloughed she has gotten real into plants, the patio all of a sudden has dozens of varieties on it.  We also went to Total Wine to pick up some more alcohol to dull the edge of Covid insanity.

Saturday afternoon Deb came over for a visit.  We hung out and went for a ride around the neighborhood which has become a near weekly tradition.  It’s nice to have her over, the three of us have the ability to make the other laugh, a rare commodity these days.

Despite the global pandemic, sales on my 3D EUC store have continued to remain strong.  Saturday may have been a record with me shipping out six packages in one day.  It’s nice to have at least one thing that remains solid and positive.

Sunday was a pretty blah day for me.  I did get out in the morning on my big Gotway Monster to ride to Dunkin Donuts which was enjoyable.

However the rest of the day I was just not feeling great.  The shoulder injury cuts down on my ability to do physical things greatly and I don’t react well to that.  When I lay down in bed in the middle of the afternoon to watch TV it’s a sure sign that I am feeling down.  We did however have our first restaurant meal since the lockdown started.  You never went inside the building, you called in the order and then called when you arrived for them to take the credit card.  A mask wearing employee then comes out with your food and you are on your way.  It felt good to at least do that, something Cindy would have outright refused a few weeks prior.

We enjoyed the food while  watching the new photo realistic version of Lion King that came out last year.  It’s the same endearing story with animals that look incredibly realistic.  We both enjoyed the rework.  It’s hard to believe the original came out something like 25 years ago.  Still gets an A from me.

Today some of the fill dirt is actually supposed to be delivered, something I have been trying to get for a month or more.  I really like the work the guy did on the chicken area but I absolutely hate his lack of communication.  I am hoping now that the process is going to finally start we can reach the finish line without more unexplained and frustrating gaps in communication.

Today our office has reopened to the public.  There was a long line 20 minutes before the doors even opened.  I had my temperature taken this morning, just one of the precautions being implemented with the reopening.  I clocked in at 97.9, I guess I’m not going to die, yet.
