Also elevate the ankle and ice it.
Plus ibuprofen or something similar. The ankle I tweaked climbing a volcano finally started feeling better once I kept a brace on and took ibuprofen regularly.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But now you get to say casually, "Yeah, I sprained my ankle climbing a volcano." Which is cool.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thanks, Tom!
And yes, climbing a volcano is totally cool.

Exactly! Instead of saying "Yeah, I don't know how I sprained my ankle" and sounding super-clueless.

Oh, I'm totally happy to have the volcano story, because last time I had to wear an ACE bandage on my ankle for weeks, I'd tripped over a suitcase.

You should use the volcano for ny future stories. Just say "I sprained my ankle on a volcano" and don't specify whether that is the current injury.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What -t says but way more general. "Oh, that's my volcano injury" will be good forever AND you aren't specifying any particular (and possibly visible) body part.

Not a volcano injury!
I read Ask A Manager, and today they are talking about choosing college majors. Someone recommended taking a test to find out your "Holland Code", which I did even though I am not choosing a major. Mine is ASI (Artistic, Social and Investigative), which makes a lot of sense. Also, there are, like 2 jobs for that type (Drama Teacher and English Teacher)! I think though that they might not have theatre jobs classified right, because I think that that type is probably the right type for designers/directors.
