The overnight rain ended midmorning and the sun came out to create a perfect October day. The red trees are red and the golden ones golden so I got to the IDA for my moleskin and callus pads finally. The downside is that that particular store keeps low inventory so there was one packet of moleskin and one of callus pads, and several of the bunion pads but I don't know whether those are any good for what I want to use them for. And since I have to remove them to shower, they must be renewed daily. Of course, if I just stuck them in my shoes they'd last forever, but I wear my shoes maybe two hours a day-- three at most-- since at home I go in my stocking feet. The minute I get into shoes my back starts to hurt, and has for the last six years at least.
Then to get some steps in I walked back to Christie to see if the subway station's elevators, abuilding since the time of which memory of man runs not to the contrary, were finished, given that they'd been scheduled for last December. Not, though they're now at least in place. Maybe this December, sigh.
This only got me 3500 steps, bummer. So I got my gardening gloves on, hauled the plastic garbage bin down the front steps, and cleared two car lengths of sodden leaves from the gutter. Also turfed some marvellous humus towards the middle of the road where cars are invited to squash it. I wouldn't bother about this normally, but Elmwood's mother down the street opined that it's the duty of a good citizen to clean the leaves not merely from their front sidewalk but from the street gutters as well: 'Or how is the snow melt to get into the drains?' True. So I am a good citizen this year, or at least today, and we'll see how the rest of this autumn goes. They're saying rain for the remainder of this week so raking will be on hold till the sun comes back.
