UPS is making deliveries. The driver has a brace on his knee. I can tell, because he’s wearing shorts. The only people out there are nutty. I’m about to be one of them. I got a call from work, with the offer of a shift as closing dishwasher today. I took it. I’m nutty. I’m going to walk to work, because I’m not nutty enough to ride my bike. They said it’s been really slow today. It will probably pick up when it warms up, which won’t be today. That’s why I took it. And I wanted to get a copy of next week’s schedule. I think I have the next 4 days off.

I tried. I went about a hundred yards, came back for Mr w’s hiking stick, named ‘Spike’ because of the point at the bottom, off of a mountain climbing ice ax (the handle is from a shovel). That got me about a block, but very slowly, so I called to say it would take me a while to get there, and the woman I spoke to said, ‘Take your time. Stay safe!’ Those last two words kept ringing in my ears, After another block, I called to say I wasn’t coming.
