After a day’s hiatus, I was back on the Birdland route, south to north.

Warm and a lot of bugs.

Papa and I walked downtown and got a copy of Momma's birth certificate at the Lucas building, just north of the capitol. We then wandered downtow and caught the no-fuss bus back to the homestead.

OMG, I actually walked another way after a month – broke a record, sort of, maybe. Papa and I walked down to Aurora, to SE 14nth, to Ovid and then up 6th to the house. And this is the second day that my feet and knees weren’t screaming at me: I suppose after nearly a month my body has adjusted to the Amlodipine.

Warm, cloudy and humid.

Walked the usual way but this time Papa was along. Saw a few feral cats (I thought I’d heard kittens mewing by the river the past month or two): one kitty looked like Sunshine and Papa said another one was a little lighter than  butters.  Poor kitties probably won’t survive the Winter.

Warm and slightly humid.

After a two day hiatus I’m back on track again. My feet and knees still ache, but at least I walked up Heartattack Hill without blowing up. I saw a few cardinals but I think the Monarchs have fluttered off to greener pastures. Also met a nice lady Boxer and got lots and lots of love.

Had a sonogram done on my kidneys (for my high blood pressure) this afternoon and walked from downtown to Methodist hospital and from there I strolled up to University Avenue where I got a cold drink and some taquitos. Since I’d been up since 6AM stressing over the test, I caught the no-fuss bus to Ovid and then stopped by the library and picked up a book and then made my wandering way home.

Walked the usual way but today my legs didn’t ache like they had the last couple of day – guess it gets better if I keep up on the exercise, keeps things moving around.

A just gorgeous day.

Saw a Latino and a Black family almost come to blows in the Park Fair parking lot: it’s too bad a lot of people don’t know how to act in public. The guys (and gals) were about ready to come to blows when I started chanting real loud… Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! and the fight broke up and everyone got in their cars and drove off. I’m thinking the loud chanting of Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! made ‘em think they were putting on a show.

But still, you can’t take some folks anywhere. :P

The meds I’m on are making my knees ache like crazy: I walked my usual way and had to step and let my knees rest several times. I’m wondering if the cure isn’t worse than the disease?

Warm, cloudy.

Walked along the Birdland route: it’s not boring to me yet since the scenery does change a little every day. Balmy, with a few clouds.
