semi-recent reading, because it's Wednesday

Titles and authors of books I finished since the end of September, omitting rereading:

Proper English, by K.J. Charles

Think of England, by K.J. Charles

Just as You Are, by Camille Kellogg

We Could Be So Good, by Cat Sebastian

Marple, various authors (authorized fanfic stories about Agatha Christie's character Miss Jane Marple)

Permutation City, by Greg Egan (I thought this was a reread when I picked it up for book club, but remembered none of it as I went along).

Balance PT is going well

I had physical therapy this afternoon, which went well. The therapist said I have made enough progress that I can stop doing the exercises whose purpose is to improve my awareness of the position of my body and especially my limbs. That's six exercises, out of the nine I was doing a couple of days ago.

I'm also going to start doing all my exercises standing up instead of in a chair, with something nearby to hold onto if necessary (a counter or the back of a chair). The therapist told me to start setting a timer for those, so I don't have to think about when to stop.

The new thing this week is standing still with my eyes closed for 20-30 seconds. The therapist emphasized I should start with my eyes open, and close them only once I'm feeling basically steady. So, stand with my eyes closed, then open them and rest a moment, repeat 3-5 times, once or twice a day.
