Day 12 since I was injected with the J&J vaccine

At B.’s…

4/20/21. Tuesday [Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my weekend]

9:15 – 10:00 - I wake up to a terrible leg cramp in my calf.  I’m prone to these and get them frequently, but is this particular leg cramp indicative of a blood clot?  The pain is so bad, I can’t move – I can only lie very still.  Finally, after a few minutes, it starts to subside and I get up to try and “walk it off.”

101.5 pounds today.  My eye has resolved.

I start a load of laundry.

Downstairs to say good morning to the dog.  She pooped near the front door again. I rub her tummy three times, she grabs her tennis ball, and we go outside. The dog is fascinated by a clump of bushes against the wall, near my trash cans, and keeps trying to dig and jump in them instead of going potty. She’s able to get a scent from the bushes and tracks it throughout the entire yard, going around the patio table, my trees, the Astroturf…this means there’s probably a rat in the bushes – great. Finally, she gets tired of tracking, goes potty, and we return inside.  Coffee for me, old pizza for her.

10:00-12:00 – It’s nice outside, so I have coffee and a piece of L.’s lemon loaf outside on my patio table.

Blog posts.

12:00-1:00 – I make a spinach salad with celery, pieces of cheese, and the last of the cherry tomatoes and read Small Animals.

1:00-3:00 – Spa Day.  Shower. Wash hair. Shave my legs. Moisturize my heels. Lotion. Crest strip. Blow dry my hair. Light make-up. Covid-19 uniform. I listen to Fresh Air.

I’m exhausted now, and have to lie down.

3:00-4:00 – I take a nap.

I hang my laundry.

4:00-4:45 – I read a Money Diary then do Insanity – Cardio Recover. This work-out consists primarily of deep stretches, i.e., it’s actually a break between the more intense work-outs.

4:45-5:30 – I sweep my patio and water all of my plants. I listen to True Crime Garage.

5:30-6:00 – I take the dog for a walk. More True Crime Garage.

6:00-7:00 – I load all of my plastics in the trunk, then pack my overnight bag and my lunch bag.

7:10-7:30 – I drive to B.’s house.

7:30-8:30 – Cocktail hour.

8:30-12:00 – Dinner is salad, salmon, and rice.  Everything is very good.

More champagne.

12:30-1:15. Nighttime routine. Bed.
