The October weather has been gorgeous so far, even if a tad chilly. Clear air, blue skies, sharp sun on going-golden leaves, somehow reminiscent of Tokyo don't-ask-me-why, because Tokyo autumns are 10 to 15 degrees C warmer and given to haze. No matter: I have seen less of this beauty than I want to, because I took a water pill Sunday morning that worked overtime so no way I could leave the house. Yesterday I was promised a workman between 11 and 4 who didn't arrive because, as I discovered when I called the company at 4, his previous jobs went way overtime. Which one must expect with workman. Had massage today so he's promised for the same window tomorrow. We shall see.
In other non-appearances, ordered an orange shirt for Sept.30th recognition and reconciliation day. Ordered Wednesday, which was of course leaving it late, but didn't find the list of umm kosher providers until then. Paid for expedited one-day delivery, which I thought might reach me Friday morning. Arrived Monday afternoon.
Anyway, got out today, but have been suffering from cramping glutes and panging ankle for close on a week now. Thus walking was not fun, even with muscle relaxants and support socks. My legs are still weak and, however much I say bicycling in TO isn't really exercise, it must be some because I can see I've lost the muscle that I had before. Mind, it survived for a good fifteen months after I stopped, but I'm still sad that walking doesn't seem to fill the void. So more under table bicycle and more standing on one leg, which is a dicey proposition when one leg's glute spasms and the other leg's ankle pangs.

It was mine too except that the temperature was confusing to a Candadian. When it was 25 degrees on the American Thanksgiving at November's end, I felt very odd because, like, shouldn't it be snowing?

I've heard this from great walkers, such as my Tokyo friend who could go for hours and hours, while the guy who did martial arts puffed and panted and begged for a rest. It just seems that the walking I do doesn't produce any muscle at all.
Which kind of sorts with when I first started bicycling, at the ripe old age of 29. I used a no-speed kid's bike, definitely too small for me but at least I could put my feet on the ground if the coaster brakes failed. About six months after I started biking, I moved to an apartment with a full-length mirror and suddenly seeing my reflection, thought 'what happened to my legs??!!' Muscle is what happened, that I'd never had before.
