silver_chipmunkI got up at 10:00, and had breakfast and coffee, and then a therapy session at 11:00. Then I showered and dressed, and went into Olcott.
The walk in wasn't too bad. It's I think about 2 miles, maybe 2 and a half, so I was pretty hot and sweaty by the time I got there, but felt pretty OK. I got ice cream at the Shoppes and ate it, then went through the stores. Didn't get anything.
Then I walked over to the other little shopping spot where the Ferris wheel is, after paying my respects to the Civil War monument. They now have a little gift store there, and the Olcott Lobster Co. Lobster rolls in Olcott. A far cry from the old fish bar! Anyway, I got a lobster roll to try them out. Pretty good, but expensive.
After that I went on the Ferris wheel. It is a pretty good one, goers rather rapidly, and is fairly high, nice view.
After that I went to the Carousel Park, and played two games of Skeeball. My best score was 220. Then I went on the carousel. That's always fun.
Then I walked back to the gift store at the Ferris wheel, and got an Olcott Beach Christmas ornament. I hope I can get it home safely!
Then I walked to the new Dollar General store, and got a T-shirt for RK as a thank you, and a pair of flip-flops so I can wear them instead of borrowed from Betsy.
By then I was starting to feel pretty tired, and I still had to get home, so I just walked to the tourist information thing, which is right there, and then I started back.
I was pretty achy by the time I started down the lane to the cottage. I ran into Janet coming out, and she stopped and we had a nice talk. She may be back tomorrow.
I got back to the cottage and found I have a blister on my right big toe which burst. I found some band aids and put one on. Then I got one the computer, and at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB.
We talked til 8:30, and then just as we were getting off, Sue and Linda stopped by ans asked if I wanted to work on the jigsaw puzzle Betsy left in her cottage. So I joined them for that, and we worked til around 11.
Then I came back and had something quick to eat, and started here. According to my Fitbit I walked 17,996 steps today, 7.36 miles. I ache and I'm very stiff. We'll see how I am tomorrow!
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. I made the walk.
3. Lobster in Olcott.
4. We had band aides.
5. Saw Janet.
6. Fun with the jigsaw puzzle.
