Of Mice and Marathons

Off. Complete rest day.

Took my computer to an Apple store to get looked at. I must say the mall in Troy is absolutely amazing, but I felt foolish going there in such times as these but I have two kids on the way and just bought a house and I wanted a second opinion (Best Buy said it wasn't worth it but didn't bother to run diagnostic). I was thinking about a new computer, but I couldn't stay in the store any longer. People where lined up looking like they were going through airport security. I couldn't believe people are just out shopping, but I guess even though I felt I had a valid reason I was there too.

Megan and I went over to the house and brought some of the highly breakable glass tops for a coffee table and end table. I took a shower. I spent some time playing with the sprinkler system and learned the different zones or "stations" as they are called. Going to need to get a mower pretty soon or the HOA is going to send us notices. Need to figure out how to mow at lawn. It's been quite a long time since I have done one. 

Not sure what this day was. I'm sure it was packing stuff as the movers were coming Wednesday.

PM: 3.3 mile walk/jog w/ Megan. HR 90.

The farwell to Spencer Park where I have done 4400+ laps on the 1-mile loop in the lat 4 years. We stayed up a bit prepping for the movers. 

Moving day. I managed to get out of bed at a decent time (for me). Moving was slightly stressful, but the typical stress of moving (normal concern type of stuff). Megan's uncle Chaz came up from Ohio (he generously paid for the movers). It was nice to see him, as it has been some time. We went to have lunch outside in downtown Lake Orion (not pronounced like the the constellation, but Ore-e-on). 

Megan and I went to th Home Depot to get a few furniture pads. It's the first time we have been in a store together for many months, though we don't often go to stores together.

I didn't feel like cooking as stuff was mostly still in boxes, so we got Mediterranean. We noticed that our favorite sushi place is back open (we haven't been checking for obvious reasons due to pregnancy though I read this varies culturally). We had a nice first nice dinner on the dinning room table we bought from the previous owners. 

Cannot recall. I think we got Chinese food. Should have probably done these entries on the day of, but things have been a blur (in a good way).

Cannot recall what happened this day. Unpacked some stuff.

Went to pick up my bike but the shop missed a service request, so I left it. I went to the Home Depot to get a mower. I wrestled with trying to tie it down to my hitch-mount bike rack with rachet straps that I miraculously left from moving but couldn't get it right. Turns out it fit right it the back seat with the seats folded.

Got it home and assembled it. I've mowed about 5 times in my life and it has been years. I didn't know what to set the mower at, so I took a tape measure and measured my neighbor's lawn as there is no distinct property line and I wasn't sure how picky the HOA was (this is all VERY new to me). Managed to get it done with a few false starts. 

Went to the local grocery store, which is only a mile away and make a light and healthy dinner as we have eaten take out an extraordinary amount even for pre-COVID-19 times.
