I slept normally! This morning the pain in my knee is not gone, but seems to be improving, more of a stiffness than a sharpness. I think I will try to stretch normally before breakfast, and then go on at least a short walk at some point today. Maybe I can do the non-leg weight lifting during my afternoon class.

T left very early this morning, earlier than I expected.  I still needed to work a half day, so that's what I did.  Stopped working at 2pm, started warming up for toys 2:45pm.  Nothing on the Bug Calendar until Sunday afternoon!  Yay!
