I woke up around 9:30 which is great because sleep is good. Had my Tylenol 500 pill, 1/2 a blood pressure pill, and some good good strong coffee. Went back to bed for 1/2 hour maybe 45 minutes for it to kick in, then got up, washed head/hair and tried out my new toy from Best Buy.
Said new toy is something called an "epilator". It pulls out hair. I honestly believe I've got some Central Asian thing going on, where I can grow a mustache and chin beard, but the rest of my face is these sparse, coarse, hairs. Shaving those buggers is a pain, and they have a habit of dodging the razor somehow anyway so I always find strays. I can't hunt them all down with tweezers, I've tried. So an "epilator" was the answer and after looking in Walgreens, Target, and Sally Beauty, all of which were supposed to stock them, I hit Best Buy and went and picked the thing up yesterday.
I used it a bit today and it seems to work pretty well. Noisy, and a bit painful, but effective. And it was only $50-odd, I was prepared to spend more.
Each day I seem to be a small increment better, pain-wise. If I can get over this, I'm going to be very big on exercise. Due to bike riding my legs don't need much work, just strength/flexibility exercises like what I call "side to sides". But my upper body, I can tell now, is going to need a decent program to build strength and keep flexibility.
I packed a biggish thing, then a medium-sized thing I made larger by putting some accessories in with it, then another biggish thing sold so I packed that. So I had a nice load for FedEx. I took the things up there to FedEx then rode up to 99 Ranch for a couple of tea eggs and a can of Mr. Brown then went back in for a couple packages of TP because they have the best price on it by a couple of dollars.
Then I rode back, picking up a box or two behind the gym, where a crazy homeless guy was going on and on about covid-19 and all kinds of crazy stuff. He didn't bother me though.
I rode over to Tom's because he's back, but only James was there and said Tom was headed down to Gilroy to pick up his truck and to do something with some tiles he's ga-ga over. Dealing in tiles and 2nd hand wood makes no sense compared to busking but that's what Tom's gonna do.
I left there for here when it started to drizzle.
