I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I finally figured out how to send emails to the trash on my iPhone, and am utterly charmed. Now I want more junk mail so I can watch that little envelope commit suicide like that Monty Python bit with the autumn leaves.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thanks! We also talked about some professional development opportunities that would be good for me and he expressed support for my design work outside of this job. It was a very positive review.

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

That's great to hear!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When my sister injured her ankle a few months ago, her big mistake was immobilising it for too long. I admit, I was over-using it the first week because there was no other way to do things around the house, and then because I refused to limit my range to where I could properly crutch to (no upper body strength). I've spent two days fending for myself (which is easier without even the one crutch) now that the "weight off" period is done.

So I'm not going to err on the side of immobile. Am I likely damaging anything by not minding the pain as much as I could (it hurts, I'm grumpy, I elevate it when I sit, I'm not using crutches at home, but it definitely hurts too much to do anything without the tensor bandage)? Or is it just another pain thing? I don't like that, but at least it's math I'm familiar with.

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.

Aurelia, that sounds lovely!

Ita_!, I have no useful information for you. I hope someone does, though.

I'd really like to do this without another doctor. It just...no. But I still need to triage my stupidity.
