I can walk again, so I'm going to work this morning. The IT-band problem is still sort of there but not nearly to the extent of before. Having this time "home" helped me get some domestic stuff done. All my bills are mailed off now and I have food for the work week. I also brought in the plants I'd like to keep. It was a good thing I signed the lease for another year when I did. These apartments were sold, and through the new management company they are raising the rents significantly. This place isn't worth what they want, but if the housing market lets them do it that is where they will go. Now, out into the cold....
