Yesterday was one of the very few times that Bob and I ended one housesit and began another on the same day, and based on my behavior, maybe it’s not something we should do often.
We left Newtown, Pennsylvania at 11:00 am, and prior to departure, as per usual, we were doing our last bits of cleaning, taking out trash, etc. While I was vacuuming the floor on the main level yesterday, I managed to hit my right food hard against the corner of a wall and then again against the vacuum. It now looks like this.
It was very tough to walk on it yesterday, but today it feels much better but looks worse. I’m trying to take it easy today and then see how it feels tomorrow to see whether I need to get it x-rayed or not.
The 2.5 hour drive got us into Tarrytown, New York, at about 1:30, but we weren’t due at the homeowners until 4:30, so we checked out a couple of local gyms, had a picnic lunch in a park, and visited the local library before heading to the new house.

Our homeowners have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and fish. However, they are taking the dogs with them on their 2 month cross-country driving vacation. We will be caring for their adorable cats — Bella and Cleo (short for Cleopatra) and a few small fish in their aquarium.
After a thorough walk through of the pet responsibilities, home, and small yard, they treated us to dinner at a local restaurant downtown, about a 10 minute walk from the house. They also showed us a great walking/running path on the way back. They left about 6 this morning.
We are looking forward to exploring Tarrytown and the surrounding area — hopefully both of us on 2 good feet!
