After lots of minutes waiting to see if Kebby was going to take a walk with me, I finally called her and learned that she was the one who'd been hogging the washers and dryers all day. *grins* She still had lots to do, so I opted to go by myself since I knew The G would want to go for a run and I don't do that.

I chose to walk the route I'd wanted to take Kebby on so she could see this house with all the lovely tulips in front. It just so happened that the woman who lives there was out gardening, so I stopped to talk with her for a few minutes. She had said it was her husband's idea to cover the small yard (they have a driveway that loops into the yard to the porch) with cedar chips and flowers. Nice guy....thinking about how much he WON'T have to mow!! LMAO! Anyway, whenever I go to the doc's, I drive past her home and admire their gorgeous flowers and I had wanted Kebby to see it before they burn up. Maybe they'll still be okay next week. We'll have to wait and see...with all this rain we've been getting they might be totally destroyed by then.

So I took two walks today, the above and then a shorter one earlier in the day to go buy postie stamps at the drugstore. All in all, about an hour and a half of walking, all by myself, and feeling pretty good about it.

Still can't hear for shit out of my right ear, but I'm trying to be patient with the drugs and the kryptonite. I've been craving hot dogs with lots of sweet relish and we don't have any hot dogs. The last ones The G bought were eaten long ago and I've been missing them now that the appetite from Hell has begun. As I mentioned to Katielou, I think I'm trying to curb the appetite by walking which, in hindsight, is probably counterproductive.

*sigh*
