I slept ok but fragmented. The hip pain remains a component. Today was another warm day, and I got many things done. Mostly things I have wanted to do for some time, months even, yet I was not planning on tackling them today; they just got done organically. There are several "minor "tasks and a couple big ones. I also have to set up the garage with the collapsable fencing to enable the dogs to have access to the outdoors if we're away via a larger dog door installed in the kitchen. (where one has existed since buying the house but was too small). The other big task was jumping on a new CL post for a 36" electric cooktop. I got it for only $300, it's in great condition and blends well with the built-in microwave. I installed it without issue. We can now discard the broken and barely functional one we've suffered with for almost a year. We also cleaned up the patio in advance of our brunch tomorrow, including hanging up an outdoor metal wall decoration we got from Dom and Mary. It looks great with the "bar" table. The cushions came out too, so the outdoor seating and firepit are ready for the spring and summer night. This is a great time of year. One other task was addressing my mom's languishing need for a better computer. Thanks to Tommy's suggsestion and initative we have a 27" Cinema Display with adaptors/cables he got for $140 off FB MarketPlace, and we're going to use a new spare MacBook Pro as her CPU. It's a great way to manage her needs, and I'm grateful for him having proposed it as an option over buying an iMac.
