Slept late ( due to sleeping poorly, lots of tossing and turning, and knees were bugging me - so iced last night), took shower (relaxed muscles - knees stopped hurting - hmmm), iced knees, made breakfast (fried eggs, greens and grits), watched some Buffy.
10:40 am - 12:30 am :
Doing laundry - it's downstairs in the dryer, I'm icing my knee and watching Buffy until it dries. I'll go down again shortly to check on it.
Then put it away, eat something, and take off for my doctor's appointment around 1:30 or 1:45. The appointment is at 2:30. It takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes depending on trains to get there. I like to give myself more time, due to the bad knee.
PT told me not to use a cane, or a knee brace or compression sleeve. He said they didn't help any. Also canes have a tendency to make things worse.
Doctor said to keep doing PT, and once the PT found out what was wrong - he increased the exercises. He was more careful before.
While doing laundry - had a nice chat with the new guy living in the basement apartment with his two kids. He's a white guy, mid-forties, grey in beard and hair, tattoos, kids and a bartender up on Windsor Terrace, and in the midst of a divorce. His soon to be ex works as a teacher at a private school (which one of the two boys currently attends), and helps kids with reading disabilities. She lives in the apartment complex two buildings down. They have joint custody. Seem to be amicable at least. I think I got him interested in reading my non-traditionally published novel - so go me. (I left a copy in the basement laundry room library.)
Most of the people in the area appear to be civil servants (like myself), educators, personal trainers, physical therapists, bank tellers, nurses, students, and work in retail/taxis/customer service industries. Basically your run of the mill middle class.

Buffy S6 - Episode 13 - Dead Things
Yep, Buffy has moved on from Angel and Riley finally, and against her better judgement, fell in love with Spike. To be clear? She didn't fall in love with the demon, she fell in love with the personality or the man still inside. The chip over time managed to suppress the demon enough to let the man emerge - doesn't mean that he has a moral compass or soul, just that he is more present than the demon is.

1:40 PM to 5 PM:
Doctor's appointment took a lot longer than expected. I left at 1:40 pm (and worried about getting there on time - I shouldn't have). I got there at 2:20pm (ten minutes before my appointment) only to discover they were running an hour late. And the lounge was packed. Also my glucose was diving. So I left my name, and went downstairs, then across the street to a deli to grab a kind energy bar. Came back. And waited for an hour.
I got out of there around 4 and home by 5 (it decided to rain, and having little more than the flimsy umbrella I bought at the deli in case if did - I took refuge in Trader Joes and bought stuff for dinner and lunch.)
( Doctor's Visit )
So, back to PT, I guess.
