quester, that is so frustrating! I hope it turns out that the bone stimulator helped your ankle.
Knee update: not 100% better today, but at least 50% better. Maybe even 75% better. I'll keep throwing ibuprofen at it and keeping it elevated today.

Ugh, Tep!
Take this with a grain of salt because I am definitely projecting, but consider going to the ER if only to get an MRI to rule out ACL tear. I had to wait four months for surgery because I just went to urgent care, and they only had Xray. It took another months before my PCP was finally able to get my MRI referral through, and that put my surgery off for months.
You probably just have something benign, but an MRI would tell you for sure. Signed, Overly Cautious Because Reasons.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My sinuses are making my face hurt. I'm hoping it's just allergies and that covid didn't finally catch up with me.
Would you use the phrase "_____ seconds flat" for a number like 4.74? Or would you only use it for whole numbers?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Whole numbers. To me, "flat" means "no fractions."

That's what I thought, too. This article is making me twitchy. [link]

Yeah I'm with "flat" meaning no fractions.
Talked someone today that gave insight into why the store manager got fired. and I hadn't been around when she was being like this but she did need to be fired.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Agh, taking a taxi home from the airport because lately it’s faster and cheaper than an Uber. But annoying when the first cab doesn’t have a meter (I got out—there’s not a negotiated flat rate to my neighborhood like there is to downtown and I don’t want a surprise) and the guy was pissy. Sorry dude. And now I’m in a cab where I can’t see the meter, which is also annoying. (And he’s driving a bit like a maniac). This is why Uber/lyft are handy. Sigh.

Yesterday turned out to be less productive than I'd hoped. No housecleaning aside from taking out the trash, and while I did get a start on weather staining my outdoor furniture in the evening, mosquitoes drove me inside after I'd gotten one coat on the top and sides of a single chair. I did get grocery shopping done for two households though, so it wasn't a total bust.
Weekends used to be so long, and now I blink and they're over.

Ugh. Also I weighed myself. Granted I did next to no walking or working out or anything for the past week while traveling, and I ate terribly the past few days, but YIKES I have gained almost 10 pounds since the end of July. Not good.
