The Drop in Centre

[Mikiesboy]

I went for a nap, which turned into a two-hour nap. Dinner plans have changed slightly to a lighter meal of soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm making Shepherd's Pie tomorrow, but it's ready and just needs to be heated up and some vegetables done.

That sounds delightful.  A grilled cheese sandwich is always a good choice!

Aw. Can you wrap your ankle so it has some support while you clear things up a bit?

Ankle is wrapped. I've been on prednisone for the swelling and it's ok in the morning but by the end of the day it's swollen again. I haven't been getting in more than 2500 steps a day so I'm really not on it all that much. I have a follow up appointment on Tuesday. 

Spent an hour getting the mount for the TV anchored to the wall...

...it's too high. Back to the drawing board.

Elevating the leg in the evening may help with the swelling.

Are you allowed to ice it down? I know it's annoying, but it does help.

I've done both over the course of the last 3 months. Both help temporarily until I have to stand up or walk again. 

I'm gonna let the steroids do their thing... if it doesn't work, I'll probably end up with an injection or a walking boot to help keep the strain off it. 

I stretched this morning and just that action of extending my leg made it hurt.

Very true as long as I'm not in charge of them. Unless you enjoy the charred version. 🔥

Don't do that, is my recommendation.

[Mikiesboy]

Good morning, happy Sunday. We are on day 2 of some warmth and sunshine, which immediately makes my brain feel better. My plans for today are to post some poetry, bake something for dessert, take a walk, write for a while, start the sleeves on my sweater, figure out how to block the front and back panels of my sweater, and yeah, that should do it for today! I hope you all have a super day!!

Those next mornings are never fun.. especially if you have to work.

I'm happy you've got some sunshine... enjoy it!

Sounds like your sweater is coming along great.

Posting some poetry huh? Fine. I'll go dig around the closets to see if I can find my thinking cap. It's gotta be buried somewhere. Lol

Ok.. Sniglet for today: 

Ama-zoning imuplshopping- the act of indiscriminately ordering items online while in a fugue state; especially during moments of insomnia in the middle of the night.

Have a good day everyone!

Did you find this somewhere, or did you make it up?  It's great.

I hate burnt anything....except hotdogs lol 

 

If I have access to a grill (they aren't allowed on the apt complex I live at) I purposely overcook hotdogs until they have a bit of char. 

Idk. They're just awesome like that. 

 

Sorry your comment just made me think of it.

I think I finished some of the best writing to date, which doesn’t bode well for the future. lol

I rarely have a hot dog, but when I do... yes, slightly charred is preferred. Not all out black.. but a nice crispy dark brown outside with maybe a few spots of black. It's walking a fine line to get that perfection. You've got maybe 20-30 seconds on the grill between "hell yes" and "oh hell no". Lol

I hate to say it,but  I love the hog dogs that come in a tin that you cook in there liquid, served on a bun with ketchup and fried onions

Cooking is not my favourite sport. I did make tim one unburned grilled cheese during our fifteen year (so far) marriage. I've burned a lot more. Needless to say, I'm persona non grata in the kitchen. 

I agree with you about the hot dogs, I'd add to that marshmallows but I don't think I've had one in the past fifteen years.
