It’s Sunday evening.

I rode my bike all the way to East Marginal Way & Spokane Street. I was afraid it would be too difficult, but it seems like all the yardwork I’m doing translates into endurance for other kinds of exercise.

Progress on the yard is slow. But it is progress. I’ll have a nice yard that I can actually hang out in one of these days.

We got a quote for a fence and I just emailed them back to ask about scheduling. That will be a nice first step.

I’m waiting on some yarn to get here so I can continue knitting Sam’s sweater. I am also going to make a Pride sweater for Mavis.

It’s funny how much faster time goes by as you get older.

I’m looking forward to the pandemic being over, but I also feel like I’ll be wearing a mask in public for a long time. Besides COVID (even if I can’t get a serious case due to my vaccine, I still don’t want to get it, and sincerely do not wish to give it to anyone), I really like how I haven’t caught a cold since before the pandemic started.

Work is going to be moving toward post-pandemic times. Parking will stop being covered after July 5, and I definitely am not comfortable riding public transportation yet. After today’s ride I figure I’m in shape enough to do the bicycle commute. They’ll probably let us telecommute at least some of the time, so that’s good. Telecommuting has been a huge life benefit for me.
