Damen Brown Line station on last night’s constitutional. The station is lit up brightly but the rest of Damen (Montrose heading north) is starting to get too dark for me to walk comfortably. #chicago

Chicago side street in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. Eight-thirty in the evening. Houses have their lights on. An American flag hangs from a building.

Another photo of a tree with a branch torn off from the storm that swept through Chicago yesterday. The branches have been sawn to make removal easier.

Day 2 with the new shoulder. Some mild pain but not too bad. Went out in the wildfire smoke for a slow paced walk to the end of the block and back—small things make huge differences in regards to mental health! Important to remember as the pain/frustration increases!

Me to my husband: I was walking past the grocery store where the street is all torn up and Stereo MC’s “Connected” was playing on my headphones… Husband to me before I could finish: OMG, did you stumble and fall? I did stumble but did not fall. youtu.be/aatK_l9Yuyk?...
