Advent Day 8

 

Yesterday didn't quite go according to plan as I had to give swimming a miss. I fell twice during the morning when my knee gave way, so I didn't feel confident about driving (it's too far to take a taxi) and wasn't sure how I'd manage in the water. I'm disappointed to miss a lesson but I think it was the right decision.

I have personal training early this morning, which I will attempt. Amy is very good at adapting the exercises to what I can manage so, if necessary, I will be able to focus on seated exercises to take the strain off my knees.

Today's social highlight is a visit to friend J's new home. It's on the other side of town so I'll take a taxi if my knee is still playing up but I will definitely be going. She's not long moved in so I don't know how far she's got with the unpacking but I'm looking forward to seeing the place and hearing her plans. We'll be sending out for lunch so once I get there I'll be able to sit with my leg up and rest it.

I love looking around houses. I'll see Joyce's today and when I get home will be checking the Internet again for new listings posted for sale during the past three days. I'm helping two friends (so two different properties) look for new homes and am having a lot of fun spending their money for them!
