Another Tough Week Completed

One accomplishment this week was getting my car inspected. Most inspection stations in my town require an appointment, and I was reluctant to make one because I was unsure how I would feel the next day. Fortunately, I found a garage that had availability the same day. My car passed easily, but the tires are starting to show road damage and should be replaced before winter.

Recovering from a fall has been painfully slow, but I am feeling progress. This afternoon, I was able to take Charlie for an abbreviated version of an adventure. We went to Seven Bends State Park and walked to a bench near the river. It was only about 40 feet from our parking spot. Charlie enjoyed watching people go by and they were even two dogs: a slim white dog who was proud, and a big German Shepherd, who was loud. 

Charlie was happy to get outside. We left just as a rain storm was approaching.

In other news, my condo in Edinburg is now vacant. The tenant left it in good shape and turned over the keys yesterday. I need to replace some lightbulbs and decide whether I’m going to rent it back out or sell it. I’m very tempted to sell it because I’m tired of maintaining it. It doesn’t seem to have gone up in value very much though. It’s only a one bedroom unit, and most buyers in this semi-rural area want something bigger. 

I expect that this week will be better for me, at least as far as how my back is feeling. Soon I’ll look back and say that I was lucky that I didn’t break any bones and was able to recover in only a few weeks.
