Jerzei Collie's journal

I took a walk around the block this morning. I was originally going to wait until the afternoon, but I saw there was rain in the forecast. The rain also included pea-sized hail.

Colorado Springs will have snow today and tomorrow. Hopefully this is the last appearance of Winter for several months.

I'll wait until Sunday to do some grocery shopping. I got an 8-box pack of macaroni and cheese, and I need to get milk to mix with the powdered cheese.

I had my final appointment with the wound doctor yesterday. My leg wound appears to be healed enough so no further appointments are needed.

It's snowing again. I picked up a few items I was running low on, along with some frozen dinners.

Snow is in the forecast for today and tomorrow. I hope it doesn't turn to ice since I have a Thanksgiving dinner to attend. I don't want to re-injure my leg or any other body part trying to get to my car or the dinner host's house.

UPDATE (6:30 PM): The forecast now says there won't be any snow. That's one less thing to worry about.

What's worse than having difficulty walking due to an injury? Having difficulty walking due to an injury when it's snowing outside. Thankfully, I hear the sidewalks being shoveled. I just wish I had someone to clear the snow off my car windows. There's also having difficulty walking due to an injury and needing to pee, but that's another subject.

I had a day at sea yesterday as the ship sailed from Coco Cay to St. Thomas. The ship hosted a game show called "Love and Marriage," which was similar to the Newlywed Game. The three couples chosen from the audience were married for 2 years, 25 years and 50 years. The 25-year couple seemed to do the best at the game.

My group had dinner at Chops Grille that night. I ordered a 6 oz. steak filet.

Today, the ship docked in St. Thomas. The group decided to go to Lindbergh Bay Beach just south of the airport. The weather was cloudy but warm, with some light rain near the end of our stay.

My right leg has been bugging me the past few weeks. Taking ibuprofen usually helps to dull any pain. Tonight, I cannot walk on it without assistance and ibuprofen didn't do anything. I contacted the ship's medical office and made an appointment for tomorrow morning. I missed dinner with the group and ordered room service instead. The room service menu isn't as fancy as the main dining room's. I got a Caesar salad, cheeseburger with fries, and chocolate chip cookies.

My oldest brother offered to buy my Apple Watch.

The Halloween cruise will be the first cruise I've taken since getting an APAP machine. I got it two months after my last cruise in 2016.

TwitchDaWoof said Daytona Beach was hit really hard by Hurricane Milton. I hope Romeo Rabbit's home is okay.

My furnace awoke from its long slumber during my show last night. Sunday's high had dipped into the 50s. The rest of the week will have summer temperatures again.

I have an Apple Watch now. The problem is I don't have an iPhone which is needed to pair with the watch. My smartphone is an Android, and I don't plan to trade it in anytime soon. I don't know if there's an iPhone emulator app or whether that would work to sync with my watch.

 I'm glad that rain will cool things off later this week. Having highs in the 70s is more comfortable than highs in the 80s and 90s.

I need to buy some cereal bars in a week or two to have for breakfast during DenFur. I still have some instant Cream of Wheat cups I can eat as well.
