Back from urgent care. I will definitely not be racing in the New Year’s half marathon I’d signed up for; either plantar fasciitis or a torn ligament or tendon. I’ve been referred to an orthopedic surgeon for a follow up. In the meantime, crutches. Dammit.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yikes, Pix.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ouch Pix, I'm sorry, that's a bummer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ouch. Running injury or just flawed human design? I hope you have an easy recovery.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Otherwise known as What Is Happening To My Ass?!?No kidding! I will be thankful when (hopefully) this subsides (pun intended??)
The swelling feels like it's gone down since my afternoon post. I did leave work a few hours early. Got home, and fell asleep on the couch. Pain. It wears ya out, I tell you what.
Pix. Very sad. Crutch club is not something I encourage folks to join. Did you get the good kind (like I have)? Or the crappy, under arm, traditional crutches? If they gave you the old school ones, Becareful to NOT lean on them with your arm pits. Does nerve damage. Trust me. Tinglies aren't fun. And do take care of yourself. Let me know if there is something I can do to help.
Aims, very happy for you! Woot!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have been granted Unemployment Benefits.
I just need to keep up the search, and of course, former employer has until the 31st to appeal. I think if they do appeal the granting of my UI, it will pretty much back up everything I have ever thought about them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Heal quickly, Pix.

Ugh, poor Pix! I hope the crutches aren't too unwieldy.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm going to keep a good thought Daniel, that the former employer doesn't even think of appealing your UI.
Download the latest version of open office. Paste into open office draw. Export as SVG. Older version of open office draw did not do vectors but I think the last two or three versions do.
Awesome! Thank so much Typo.
Pix, I'm so sad for you...both for the actual injury and for the insult of not being able to meet the NY goal.
I hope whatever the problem is, is healed quickly and completely.

I'm sorry, Pix. I hope you heal quickly!
I'm glad you have unemployment, DCJ.
