Monday, March 22, 2021 – Got a Little Done

Hey Babe!
Despite the two hour nap yesterday afternoon, I had a full night sleep and woke up a bit more energetic this morning. I did a load of laundry, then spent a little time messing around with the Buick. I couldn’t find a drain on the battery, but the terminals were a bit corroded so I cleaned those up. I was able to start it okay, and I measured the voltage when I finished, so I can check it tomorrow and see how it compares. It’s highly possible it’s just the battery gone bad, after all, I bought a cheap one-year battery when I thought I was going to sell it, and that was a couple of years ago, and the worst thing is to just let it sit around, so if it doesn’t start tomorrow or looks like it’s been drained again, I may just take it to the auto parts store and get a new one. Or I might just wait until next year, since I won’t be here too much longer, and I really need to get someone to look at it and try to find out where this wheezing noise is coming from. It seems to run great, but that noise concerns me. If nothing else, I want to give it a wash and then park it out of the way and cover it up with the new cover I bought this year. I did all of my PT exercises for both my knee and my shoulder, and my knee is feeling quite good these days. I still don’t have full motion, but I don’t have any real pain, just a sense that there is a restriction on my mobility a bit, but it’s getting better every day. I spent the rest of the day mostly reading, watching a little TV, then sitting in on a Zoom meeting with the folks up at the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, AK, where we visited when we were up there a few years ago, and where we adopted a Musk Ox, too! A great old gal named Luna, who’s acting as a mentor to the younger mothers these days. I also discovered that ginger is good for inflammation, so I mixed my Sleepytime tea with some ginger tea that I had, along with icing my leg all day, so the swelling is definitely going down. Anyway, progress is made, time for shower and bed. Good night, sweetie! Love you!
