Jumping around a bit

Had a good Monday. We had some windy and thunderous short rains this afternoon and it took us down into the 60s, too. At least I don't have to worry then about Hazel jumping in the canal to cool off.

Swimming pool was closed for aquajogging this morning so I put in an extra half hour fitness instead. Made great numbers on the rowing machine: jumped from 33 to 45 strokes/minute (a huge jump, I hope you know). The reason for the jump was because I finally figured out the best way to use the machine.

Watered the plants on the balcony when I got home at 2p.m. though some of the plants got watering on their own.

Will try a new orthesis Tuesday which uses electrostimulation while walking. Hoping for some good results. Wednesday, I meet with the company doctor again. Nico takes the dogs to the vet tomorrow. He tried to make the appointment at a time when I could go but it was the only day and time they had available. So many people are getting ready to go on vacation I guess it's a busy season.

I cut up a lot of veggies so I could make salads easier. I also sauted some eggplant for a cold eggplant salad. I think i have too many vegetables! Picked a few more beans today.

Thanks for all your comments of late. And in response to driving with my left foot: it's simply a safety issue. The pedals of a normal automatic car are made for right foot driving. It makes sense in the Netherlands that they would require it be switched. I am still a bit skeptical as to whether it would be the same for me in the U.S. Overall, I'm not that concerned, really. It'll just be good to be able to keep a license, no matter which foot.
