A Busy Schedule and Hopefully a Completely Whole Treadmill by Tonight

Today is a busy day. I need to get to the grocery store as soon as I've got this posted. I have the treadmill repair people due between 11:00 am - 2:00 pm to put on the correct backing and to install a light bulb in the ON/OFF switch (if one is needed - it doesn't light up and DH thinks that it should). I don't need to do a lot of cooking, but I do have to pick up four boxes of moth balls from the local Walgreens's drugstore. We're working our way through our Navajo rugs at the shop, photographing them and making sure they are clean and without moths. Unfortunately, a few of them have had some moth munchies. It's annoying, but it's life. 

I borrowed this photo from a rug restoring company, but 
you can see the warp threads showing (the vertical white 
lines in the center and far right side of the piece). That's 
moth damage, eating the weft away from the warp. It's 
fixable, but rarely worth the cost. Eventually, however, it 
can become so widespread as to be unfixable. 

It is a day off for me today, though, and I have to make a batch of baked fruit. Thus, the trip to the grocery store. I need fruit, and I need salad fixings. It'll be a quick trip, but a necessary one. 

I love my baked fruit. I choose a variety of fruit - usually ]
pears and apples, sometimes adding an orange or pomegranate 
or berries just because they look good. They're combined with 
maple syrup and chopped nuts and baked in a hot oven. Then 
I portion them out and have one container every day for 
breakfast. BEST BREAKFAST EVER! 

I'm running late today, though, so I can't chat for long. I had a great run on the treadmill, went through the San Francisco and northern California area. Such pretty things to look at. Today will be a lot of book work - paying bills, balancing the checkbook, etc. Boring, but necessary. Hopefully tomorrow and next week, my life will be able to settle into a "new normal" except for the MRI on Thursday, of course, and hopefully a date for my surgery after that. Life is never boring ... at least mine seems to be hectic all of the time. I hope you have a fantastic day, I'll be cooking, cleaning, and chatting with the treadmill repair guy. Slava Ukraini, see you again tomorrow.
