My running shoes came Sunday and they fit fine, but I have to temporarily put off breaking them in because I hurt my ankles the other evening after I bought a replacement surge protector power strip which gets plugged in under a table and I had to get down on my knees to plug it in. It's difficult for me to bend down and get back up with the knee and ankle arthritis so I put too much stress on muscles by my ankles, especially the left ankle and they still smart. Plus I further aggravated things bending down to pull weeds in the front yard yesterday. So for now I'm wearing the old well broken in running shoes since I can't have anything snug touching the ankle area right now.
Yesterday was very busy. After I visited my mom I had to run an errand and get the rest of the laundry done, plus put the recycling out to the curb. I got to bed very late.
Today it was and still is awful outside with all the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. It's driving my sinuses bonkers. I'm going back and forth between having a stuffy nose and having bouts of heavy post nasal drip I gag on, since I have sinus polyps and my sinuses drain poorly to begin with. They warned people on the news the smoke was going to make everyone's allergies worse. The traffic was very heavy in the afternoon so it took an hour to get to nursing facility to see my mom, which was ridiculous. Too many people driving with orange-grey smoke filling the air. Traffic was light on my way home so it only took me about 15 minutes to reach the supermarket I normally pass on my way home anyway. I just needed to get a small number of things. My sister is back temporarily. She keeps going back and forth between here and her friend's house which is still easier for her with her busted arm. In order to keep our cat from getting into mischief the doors to some rooms, including the kitchen, side hall, basement, etc. have to be kept closed and some are old heavy doors. He likes to run into forbidden rooms or run down to the basement between your legs and she can't manage this right now.
