About 9:00 a.m., we headed out to Honeymoon Island on our bikes. I took my new Buzz bike. I hadn't adjusted everything, so it made quite a racket. Both disc brakes were dragging and three of the gears were out of alignment. I did enjoy the boost of the electric motor, especially going over the bridge and coming back into the wind.
It was nice being out on the causeway again. We both needed some fresh air and a break from Dee Dee.
She's really not much better. She's still retaining a lot of fluid. Her new medicine makes her a little unsteady at times. It's only been a little over a day, so we're trying to be patient. She's a bit sporadic with her eating. She ate heartily this morning, but was picky tonight.
We'll probably schedule an appointment with the doctor sometime next week.
We had lunch and then I had office hours for my students. We do virtual meetings on a product kind of like Zoom. No one showed up, but I was able to use the time in front of the computer to evaluate work and get organized. I had mandatory financial aid/advising training at 4:00, which is a little weird since I won't be advising any more. Oh well.
After dinner, I started working on my bike. It took some trial and error, but I got the squeaky brakes to stop, and I adjusted the cables so that all the gears work. I can coast in silence. I was a ramblin' wreck this morning.
I am so glad I still have this bike stand. It would have taken forever to make those adjustments without it. This puts everything you're working on at eye level, and it lets you pedal, change gears, and brake without having to ride it. You can see what you are doing and what the adjustments change.
Lots of toys.
We walked 7.1 miles, biked 14.5.
