Up at 7, get ready to go to the Grace Center for Adult Day Services, to look after the Center's "participants" while the regular staff have their staff meeting.
8 to 11 at the Grace Center, then up to the clinic for my first meeting with a physical therapist. He checked me out, decided what he thought I needed (mostly heat and electrical stimulation).
Have you ever had electrical neuromuscular stimulation? It's the damnedest thing. Feels like warm club soda is fizzing on your skin.
Back home, hang out with Kathe. Another board member of WIllamette Valley Community School comes over and we talk about school stuff.
Kathe and I go out to Robnett's Hardware to buy flashing for the rebuilt porch roof, don't find the flashing we want there, go on to Middleton Plumbing and Heating, where they cut it for us. I nick into Beekman Place, the antique shop around the corner, and admire the various items for sale there.
On the way home, we pass the former train station, now a beautifully restored collection of offices and apartments. The former Poultry Science building, later used as a grain storage structure, has been moved to the vacant lot next to the old station, and has stood ignored for years, but now they're busily preparing a basement / foundation for it, so things are looking up for the old building.
They probably aren't going to be cool enough, though, to name the refurbished structure The Corncrib.
Up the ladder I go, in the bright sunshine, to the lookout, to write a quick entry. It really does look nice from up here.
I log on and I read Arthur D. Hlavaty's blog, Supergee, where I read a painfully funny essay on a day in the life of Joe Republican, as seen at speakout.com. Thanks to Classics Cat.
A couple of hours, and then I have a massage to do. A house call -- I like making house call,s because then I get to see other people's books and things. After that, I see a home-health client and then I'm done for the day (no night shift tonight).
