Took the standard walk and am delighted to say that my hip problem is completely resolved. My gait is back to normal, and there’s no funny sensation in joint movement. So hopefully whatever I did two (3?) weeks ago, was an injury and not the onset of something chronic like arthritis. For now, anyway. Every pain-free day is a gift.
Spent 2:30 at FOPAL processing a ton of computer books. Then back for a quiet afternoon.
Yesterday at lunch Mary R was talking about needing to work up some kind of song for the Appreciation Fund show this winter. This is a show put on by residents to get other residents to contribute to the fund that is disbursed to employees, in lieu of the tips that they don’t get because tipping is not allowed.
Last night, watching a PBS special on Carole King and James Taylor singing duets, I realized that their duet on Carole’s song “You’ve Got a Friend”(*) would be just the kind of thing that Mary was looking for. I sent the above link to her. So this afternoon I get back and find the sheet music to that song slid under my door. I guess we are going to sing that together at some point in the future.
(*) No, not the chirpy little song by Randy Newman, “You’ve Got a Friend In Me” from the Toy Story movie. The one in the video.
