Thurs 26 May

A grey day, with supposedly a storm on the way. Hopefully it will clear later so I can go pick up my bike from Carl. Bob has some pain in his back again and plans to try to get in to the chiropractor today to get one last adjustment before Scotland. My back is slightly stiffer today; might be the dampness from the impending storm. I will check whether anyone's available at the massage place, but not holding my breath. Scheduled a massage for Saturday noon and splurged on a pedicure, taking my chances that I will get by fungus-free. Tried US Nails and am so far quite pleased that it seems very clean. She drained the foot basin after each use and the instruments were opened from a sanitized packet for each customer. Even her business card advertises 100% sanitized. I had spoken with the woman I assume is the owner when I called with my questions, and she personally did my pedicure, but the lady next to me got the same sanitizing procedures so I feel pretty good about the place. Bob and I had lunch at Chili's, using the $10 of gift certificates I won from the Learn for Life luncheon. It finally cleared up, so I walked to Campus Cycle to pick up my tuned-up bike. Wow, does it ride smoothly!
