Three things make a post, even though these are not all new things

Steroid shot in shoulder now done. Now to wait the 10-14 days for full effect. Meanwhile, keep up the exercises. Add the pushups and planks and shoulder high rotations back in when they don't hurt. Her fellow (full doc learning the sports med specialty) said "are you sure there's not a tear?", and I said "oh yes, there's two! The ultrasound I had in June showed that." /clicks through to ultrasound results/ "erm. so it did." She strongly recommended that I get a flu shot this year, even though I've not gotten one in a decade and haven't had the flu in a dozen years. Didn't want to get it at the same time as the steroid shot, so I'll go to CVS later this week.

I got an email that my computer glasses had come in before I left for the doc, so I stopped and picked them up (the optometrist is half a mile from the doc). Of course, the glasses came in *after* I'd finished the editing of the quarterly newsletter.

Stopped by REI for winter walking shoes, as their website showed that the store had gotten some new shoes and they had more waterproof walking/light hiking shoes in stock. They did not have the exact shoe I wanted in stock in my size (only had it in the non-waterproof version), so I ordered the waterproof version and had it shipped free to my house. (I'd stopped at Mast Shoes last week to see what they had, and they had nuffin' that my feet and my knees liked.)

The shelves at the Meijer in A2 were as empty as I've seen them since last April or so. Part of it is the no-Monday-trucks-because-of-the-holiday, I'm sure, but it was still a bit disconcerting. I hope it's not because of people stocking up in case of civil unrest due to the orange one's denialism/rejection of reality.

Temps have been hovering right around freezing for the last week or so, and we've been getting fine wet snow. whee. So the roads are wet-slippery, but not snow/ice-slippery. I'm OK with that.

(OK, so that was more than three things.)
