By a certain amount of triumph of the will-ing I succeeded in doing a chunk of stuff I'd put off in favour of sitting on beds and couches playing solitaire and reading TLSes. Unexciting necessities like dishes and laundry and making another jar of overnight oats, not anything one can take satisfaction from. But I did walk down to Bloor to buy a new Presto card in the optimistic hope of some day being able to use it at least the one stop from Bathurst to Spadina. Would love to use it to get to the dentist next week but as I suspected, that station has no elevators, and even the escalators require some stair use. Must shell out for pricey taxi. And of course Other Knee- and other ankle too- are as obstreperous as they were yesterday. Must get a new acupuncturist.

But since I was down by Bloor and the day was cold air and warm sun, I bought me a double ice cream cone from Basking Robin and sat and watched the world go by for a half hour. And very nice too. Then on the ay home checked the Local Playwright's wee free library and found a thick Japanese book, which turns out to be a translation of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. Took it for the lulz: translations from English into Japanese always read very weird to me.
