spiralngphoenixToday was gorgeous, so the camera and I went for a walk. Since I keep forgetting to drop my Netflix DVD into the mailbox, and I needed a direction to walk in, I figured I'd head up to the Post Office. Got a couple of nice pictures and got some nice fresh air while I was at it.
The only thing that bothered me was I now know exactly how far I can walk before my knee gets bitchy at me. On the one hand, I know I should be happy. Five months ago just walking from one side of the house to the other was torture, and going anywhere outside required a cane to get around. Today I can walk a mile and a half. On the other hand, 8 months ago I could walk seven miles more or less non-stop before my body gave out on me, and it's frustrating as all hell. *grumble* I should be grateful I can make it this far now, but dammit it's annoying.
Tomorrow, car-willing, I'm attempting try #3 to visit a friend. Hopefully we won't have a surprise snowstorm again!
