this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Nora, skin tags are annoying as hell. Plus, I think the recommendation is to see a dermatologist once a year for a check that nothing funky has appeared. (Not that I adhere to that schedule; I'm just here to dispense info.)

You might want to think about wearing a brace on that ankle everyday. 'Cuz it's not going to get stronger. It'll probably get worse. (Sorry for the Eeyore, but...getting older, soft tissue damage, blah blah blah.)

I'm not getting older!

...wait. t checks calendar Huh. So I am. Poop.

I do have a really good sports-medicine grade ankle brace for rehab that I got after a spectacular sprain. I had to wear that thing for months. It laces up and has velcro straps that wrap under and around the foot to stabilize it. I don't think that level of support is called for right now, but I might find my stretchy ankle brace and wear it when I walk the dog. If I can face the neighbors.

Tim thinks I'm getting a black eye. I told him it was just my normal undereye shadows. And I don't think I hit the trash can with my general eye area; I swear it was just my nose. Do you get a black eye with a broken nose?

...how would I know if I broke my nose? Would it hurt to move it back and forth with my fingers? Because I am, and it doesn't.

Yeah, once I get a relationship with this dermatologist, I'll keep to a regular schedule. I think the last time I had my moles inspected was when I first moved here, my GP did that. Anyway, Tom forwarded me a list of folks and I'll call first thing on Monday.

I think a broken nose would hurt like hell if you were to move it with your fingers.

I do, too. I think it's okay. Hurty, but okay. I guess I'm glad those neighbors didn't take their trash can in this morning, because hitting my face on the pavement would have sucked.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad you are not hurt worse, Tep! And I know it's embarrassing to have witnesses, but I'm also glad your neighbors will check on you if they see you fall.

Ankles, man. They're untrustworthy bastards. Sorry yours gave out on you, Steph.

I'm kind of craving spring rolls AND a big fat hamburger. What's that about?

My nose NEEDS them.

Because books.

Steph, I think if your nose was broken it would probably be swollen, or look disjointed (as well as hurt like hell). Jake broke his once, so.)

I hope you feel better soon. Falling sucks.

Post-adrenaline response. Tep, that sounds awful (not the hamburger/spring roll thing, but the fall).

I cannot find my damn black jersey skirt. Where the hell is it?!

It's certainly possible to get a black eye from bashing your nose, though.

And now I am craving spring rolls too, as well as chips and guacamole. It's feed a cold, right?
