day 2 -- pain is making a comeback.

 My pain is making a comeback. Well within the 72 hours  of the injection. However, at this point it's simply pain. It''s not interfering with my mobility. I used some of that homeopathic cream for the first time. Can't really tell if it works. It was smelly or sticky. So we'll see.

Today the roofers came to replace my front porch roof. It was not crumbling and rotted as I had anticipated. But the old box gutter was seriously compromised. He could wiggle the front beam with no effort. I'm not sure all of what they did. I could see that they cut a hole next to Fillippe's house about a foot wide and replaced the wood. They removed the old gutter and replaced just the front of the joists. When I left at 2 they were doing more cleanup. (Bonus, the blew the alley way. Cross one thing off the to-do list!) The back roof was finished.  So maybe they were done with the construction/demo portion. The gutter will be lined in rubber instead of metal so it will need no maintenance. As far as I know we've never done any maintenance to it. I've lived there since 1974. The metal flashing needs to go against the house, singles, and then the ever important seam.

Because I was in some pain, I wanted to cheat park. But I talked myself out of it. I didn't want to park across the street because I get out at 930 tonight. It's way too dark over there. Even the restaurant is closed. So I parked in the Spartan lot on the opposite side of the gym. Then I walked around the gym, and to the back side of Penn Hall where I  picked up the walking path.

It's been a long time since I've done the walking path, and in the meantime they've build another new ball field! I went around the ball fields and the tennis court. Passed some students doing batting practice and returned to the back of the gym. I did not follow the path across the parking lot because I had already done that. 

At the fitness center they redid the windows with the new branding. That spartan is one scary dude. He looks like he's in a Marvel movie.
