pizza day!

My word. Those girls up at Derosier's have my phone number memorized by now, I guess. I called the last two nights and they didn't have gluten free dough in, but when I called tonight she didn't even answer the phone, just picked it up and said, "We have gluten free dough!" What a nice thing to be able to get someone else to make food for us when we've been outside working in the yard. :)

I'm completely amazed by how much we need to remove from out yard, the detritus of winter. We filled the dumpster last week, I think we've already put enough in it today for this week, and there's still a couple more dumpster loads of leaves, sand (put down on the ice during the winter, for those of you not from northern climes) and sticks (from trees downed by the winter storms). This whole property is only about a half acre, how can it be so much?

Time for me to go get pizza, yay! :)

mostly all about exercise and health complaints, feel free to skip.

Today, Derien travelled 1.54 miles on the journey from Bag End to Rivendell.

Entered tunnel under Hedge to reach the Old Forest.
Crossed a wide hollow to a faint path on the far side.
Continued on steadily rising ground as the path vanished.

A total of 76.02 miles along the way.

ohmygod! I got to the TUNNEL!! :D

I'd have gotten there a lot faster if I'd been walking over the last three weeks. Of course I didn't count the walking I did on the ship, which was a lot, and a lot of it being stairs. I was going to take a pedometer, but forgot, and then we found out that Eor's sisters and niece's pedometers got messed up by the motion of the ship, so I guess it doesn't matter.

So, yeah, I could do better, but I have actually swept the driveway (arm workout with that huge push-broom), lifted weights, and walked briskly on an incline of 8, today. Now I've got to take a quick shower before bed. Have been doing the weights more over the past few days because my shoulder has been getting worse over the winter. This is my left, and it just sort of loses power at a certain point when I'm putting my jacket on or the like, that motion. Hawk tells me if I don't work it, it will calcify and then I'll have real problems.
