5:16 a.m. - There was another good day yesterday. I got the north-south ditch done! And it was a battle. The weeds were thick down the middle, and I had my rubber boots on because there was a lot of standing water. I still have a little whacking I want to get done in the back yard, but that's going to be a lost cause. I'm going to have to end up using the power sickle back there if/when I'm ever to get back there.
Yesterday I kept the streak going and got in an hour-long walk. The leg continues to gain strength, but I still have a lot of stiffness in my left calf. Now I'm starting to wonder if it's ever going to improve. At IC Elementary, I was able to play around with Google My Maps and create a digital map of all the schools that were in the area since the vote for the Rockridge School District. It's not completely accurate, but it's a start, and folks in the history group seem to like it.
After getting back home after IC, I chilled out in the air conditioning before we headed to Brooklyn's and Brinley's softball game. And I capped off the night watching some soccer.
Today is a holiday from work! By work, of course I mean work at IC Elementary. There are still some to-do projects here at home. I'd like to mow the yard again, and Amber wants me to work on the sand that is in the pool. I'm not certain what the problem is, but maybe I purchased too fine of sand for our filter. I still want to get in some exercise, and I think this morning it will be a bike ride, and perhaps a little strength training in the basement. I'd like to spray some weeds too, as I got some spraying done yesterday. I think tonight we are headed to Orion to watch fireworks...not sure what is happening other than that. As I say often, though, something will likely find me.
