2/1/15. The post where I do a quick check in.

2/1/15:  the last two days have gone quickly, with not much time to post.  They have been filled with, among other things, a lot of rain and a lot of driving.  While my foot has felt better than I expected (or feared) for most of the time, tonight it is the reddest and most swollen I've seen it in some time.  I'll have lots more to post in the next day or so, but for now I need to try to get some sleep, because tomorrow will be another long day and it starts quite early...
