Chilly again.
Oct. 2nd, 2020 01:11 pm35F this morning when I left just before sunrise.
More PT. She stretched and poked at things, refined a couple of the exercises on the home exercise program, did some assessment of range-of-motion, etc. She expects that I'll be dropped down to once every two/three weeks after next week's scheduled appointment. There's really not a whole lot that can be done by them at this point - they can't strengthen the muscles in the shoulder, after all. They can design and supervise an exercise program, and do some stretching, but it all comes down to whether I actually do the exercises at home.
Meijer is in the process of re-arranging their vitamin/supplement section, both at the retail level (shelf placement) and at the supplier level (packaging), and as a part of that, the Fe supplement I've been using for the last decade is now unavailable. boo. The multivitamins are unavailable too, but there is (currently empty) space on the shelves for them. so they'll probably be back in stock before I need them. I can get those at Costco, too, if it looks like I'm going to run out. But Costco doesn't carry the Fe. I'll check the grocer/CVS in town next week.
It was chilly and/or rainy last week, so I didn't get into the garden after Tuesday. On Tuesday, I started by clearing out grass from one flower garden, but then went and got a rake so I could collect the cottonwood leaf "tufts" that were all over the side yard -- there's just enough branch on those to cause all sorts of noise/damage/projectiles when hit by a lawnmower, and J rarely stops to move anything when he's mowing (one reason he goes through so many spindles/blades on the lawnmower).
I haven't seen a hummingbird at either feeder since Sunday, so I can probably take those down for the season. There's still a few frogs out on the rocks in the evening, especially on days like this when it's at least sunny. The larger birds haven't started migrating yet - I'll be able to tell because the birdseed consumption will go way up. Right now, there's enough natural food that they don't need the birdfeeders. They still like the pond, though.
