jennlkIt was over 80F (26C) at 8:30 am, and humid. There's a tropical depression going west(!) of us, so we're on the warm+humid side of it. It will break at some point, and we'll get back to more reasonable temperatures for the beginning of June (at least for a couple of days, and then it's supposed to get downright chilly). It feels like rain out there right now.
I did some weeding on Monday, but didn't get out there yesterday - it was over 90F(32C) when I got home from errands, and I had a telemedicine appointment in the early afternoon. By the time it cooled off, J was out mowing the lawn, and I don't like working outside when he's doing that, as I don't want to get hit by a projectile from the mower.
I was 'released' from PT last week because their metrics showed that the shoulder hadn't progressed at all, and while feeling better is good, it needs to be working better, and it's not. Doc has ordered imaging -- starting with ultrasound, as Xrays are no good for soft tissue. The results of that will help her decide which specialist I go to next. Waiting for a call from them, and from the women's health department (mammogram). She's also ordering a colonscopy, now that J is working from home and I have a chance of getting him to be available to drive me.
Yesterday was my mother's birthday, and we did not have strawberries! Historically (the last 50+ years), we'd pick the first few berries right around now, but there's none even near ripe. There are little green berries on most of the plants, and lots of blossoms, so we are running at least a week behind "usual", weatherwise. We do need rain - the strawberry gardens are very dusty, and most of the flower gardens are hard packed and it's hard to get weeds out (which is another reason why I didn't bother weeding yesterday). I don't know if the rain from Cristobal will be helpful rain or downpours. I hope the former, but expect the latter.
I need to take the kid's car out later this week and do some more errands - I can't get J's preferred breakfast pocket, and the Meijer I went to yesterday didn't have the secondary one. Tomorrow I'll try the local grocer (which very occasionally will have the secondary), and the larger Meijer.
