April was apparently all Murderbot all the time, with only a side foray into Translation State and a couple of Corvinus rereads. Finished my second pass on Network Effect last night and am still fuzzy on what happened when. At least now I know that half the problem is the SF vocabulary, because I'm constantly confused as to whether we're on a navigator, a transport, an explorer, a capsule, or a shuttle. 

Wearying of my weak right leg, I started stair stepping yesterday, only brief bursts of 10 reps and then stop. This is a basic basic exercise but the last time I trued it, fifteen years ago, my then-weak left knee objected strenuously. And guess what: nothing has changed, because my right knee ached and panged all night. Maybe today's acupuncture has helped but I'm afraid to try any other strengthening exercise.

Must take phone down to Rogers and don't want to because the guys there are useless. Good at selling, and not always that because IIRC when I went to get a new phone in 2021 I had to go to the Duff Mall. And I must try to prise my xrays from the lab and I don't want to because they cling to them as if they were diamonds. So I did other stuff I didn't want to, like breaking down boxes and swiftering the kitchen floor. Which is quite enough accomplishment for one day.

Would it help to start very gently? Like with literally one step-up on day one. Two on day two and increase slowly. Starting abruptly with bursts of 10 reps is more then I'd want to do, and I'm walking and hiking fit.
