Ouch, Theo! I've always done a kind of figure 8 ankle wrap, don't know if that's actually right but it's easy and seems to hold everything in place fairly well.

Dang, Dana, those are some obstacles all right. i'm sorry about that.

Headache begone~ma for Sheryl

When (my mom and I) tried making ketchup back in the day it did not turn out great. But maybe your will! As I recall it was mostly too thin and we kind of used it like sauce anyway? So not a real risky experiment, maybe.

Theo, I hope your ankle heals up well and quickly! Wrapping an ankle is hard, I never figured out how to do it right.

Gud, your wife is abusive and you need some therapy and to get away from her. I don't need to know anything else about her besides that she got mad at you for being sick. Nothing excuses that, nothing.

I've been feeling better lately, mysteriously, and since RBG died I'm back to feeling like there's no hope. I'm trying to stay away from the news and social media. If/when anything important happens, I'll find it out here.

Tomorrow I have to go in to the office, and Thursday evening I'm going to a social thing for work - everyone's been real good about social distancing/masks and I don't plan to stay long,, so I think it'll be okay - and Friday night I'm going to drive 2 hours both ways to Roanoke to see my physical therapist and then get my hair cut real short because I'm tired of dealing with it. Three days in a row of activity outside of my house, and I know I will be exhausted when it's over. I have zero stamina anymore. But hopefully my ankle will feel better and my hair will be cute, so it will be worth it.

Now I'm going outside to re-pot a couple sad plants I rescued from the office. Their pots don't have drainage holes and the staff have been over-watering them.

I'm going in to the office tomorrow to get my flu shot, and I figure on staying for my forecast review call. Because that just seems easier? I have lost track of which week is supposed to be my in office week, but I doubt anyone will notice or care.

Lack of blood pressure is worrisome, are you sure you aren't a vampire or zombie?

My blood pressure is always good! I was so proud of it! And now it has let me down. Or those automated machines, who usually hate me, have let me down.

Downside: I don't know how to wrap an ankle with an Ace bandage correctly.

The figure 8 is a good idea. Make sure it's tight enough to provide support but not so tight that it affects your circulation.

I walked into CVS after work yesterday and got a flu shot no problem, which was nice. Although my blood pressure did test high in the machine there, it's been low the last couple of times I've given blood. (And by "high" I mean normal....)

Has anyone heard from Sue Ozon?

Sue is on Instagram and her cat is a delight.

I emailed Norah about a month ago, around our firstborns' birthdays, and she seems ok.

Dear hivemind: for my next mound of tomatoes

Have you ever made a French tomato tart? They are delicious!

Has anyone heard from Sue Ozon?

She's also still around on FB too. I pinged her on something not that long ago.

And she's on Twitter.
