Mon 24 Sept

Back to work today. Oh, well, it was inevitable. I also need to contact PCH to make sure things are in order for Grandma and get a copy of the bill to the bank so we can also use her CD to pay PCH so her checking account is not depleted. Also, this is the only day this week that we can hike because I start a week of on-call tomorrow. Felt reasonably good to exercise this morning, though I certainly don't feel as easy in my muscles as when I have been in the routine. I was also pleased that while the scale was up a little, it wasn't as bad as I feared. Conscientious application of exercise and diet should be able to counteract vacation damage. Fitbit is going to send me yet another replacement unit since I can't get this one to hold a charge for any reasonable length of time. They remain cheerful about it so I shall also do so.
