Ultrasound results came back today - two partially torn tendons (top and back of shoulder), mild bursitis (probably caused by changes in position/motion due to torn tendons). Referral to sports med doc - who, oddly enough, is still listed as my primary physician. (I've been seeing a resident under her direction, so according to UMHS, she's my primary.) Still, won't get in to see her until end of July. They've put me on the waiting list so if something comes up earlier I'll get a call.

Did get in to the dentist last week (called Thursday morning, they had a Friday opening). Have not gotten my hair cut yet. I was late for my cut when the lockdown started - I was going to call for an appointment on the Wednesday they announced the lockdown - so my hair is longer than it's been in years. But it was a very good cut to start with, so it really doesn't look too bad.

It's been hot but not really sticky since about Wednesday. Friday night we got rained on, hard. The rain gauges in the backyard said over 3" (7.5cm). But the ground was very dry, so there really wasn't a lot of runoff. Finished the last of the prairie bed weeding last week, so took the weekend off from weeding. Will need to start the rounds over, as the weeds keep growing.

I need to yank out more of the white daisies from the east garden so that the pink ones have space to grow. The white ones have bigger leaves, and crowd out the pink ones. The only peonies that bloomed this year were the ones that I didn't move in the fall - the ones I moved came up, but they're basically new plants, so I don't expect them to bloom until next year. Only about half of the irises bloomed, but that's actually pretty good since they all got moved last fall.

The birds ate most of the strawberries that ripened last week - not that there were a lot, because it's been so dry. There should be a couple today, but it's a bad year for them. A dry June generally means no/few berries, because they're mostly water, after all.

No progress on the rill - J was occupied with K all week. And a friend who needed a new computer called for his assistance in purchasing/setting up said device, which took a few more hours of his week.
