FB10: Week 15

A pretty decent week, at least what passes for one these days.  An afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field to see the White Sox actually win a game on Sunday got the week off to a good start, finishing with 5400 steps.  Things fell a little shorter on Monday, but still managed to end with 4500 steps.  Things fell off a bit more on Tuesday, as I finished with 3500 steps.  A nice increase on Wednesday pushed me back up to 4800 steps.  Thursday fell off once again, coming 32 steps shy of 3700.  Another increase on Friday, helped in part by a trip out for dinner to the Patio, left me with 4200 steps.  A trip to Lowes on Saturday pushed me up again, ending the week on a high note with 4600 steps.

Total steps: 30,780

Daily average: 4397.1

What was supposed to be a small job to change the fill valve on the toilet has turned into disaster, as the old valve is broken off and the remaining piece is stubbornly refusing to come out.  Meanwhile, at some point during the battle, the rod connecting the flusher to the flap that actually does the flushing seems to have broken off, which means another trip to Lowe’s at some point.
