HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃👻🕷️🕸️🍬

Well, I had 10 trick-or-treaters this year. I even dressed up like a surgeon. I had on black scrubs, one of those surgical hats (with a Halloween motif) and a matching facemask. I thought I looked good. 

I gave out vegan candy. It is really good. There skittles-type candy and gummies in the shape of Halloween bats and things. They are made with natural fruit and no nuts, dairy and soy. They are too good to have in the house. I ate too many this evening. It was easy when the bag was sealed but on e I opened it, it was all over! 

I did another project and got more work done. That was my day. 

Until tomorrow...

ANOTHER SET OF X-RAYS?

I woke up early today to go to the foot doctor again. She checked my foot and then sent me down for x-rays. This is my fourth set of X-rays in a month. It showed that my right foot is not broken a second time. I must have just twisted it. She says that my left ligament is still wonky.

So the first thing she did was tell me to swap my boots. The big boot is now on my right foot with a break is and the Birkenstock type boot has been retired. I am now wearing the night wrap on my left foot all day long and at night. She said that I can put my left foot with the wrap into a pair of sturdy shoes or sneakers that have hard bottoms. Well it just so happens that my new Inka sneakers have a hard bottom. So when I go outside I can put my left foot in a sneaker. I've also putting my left foot with the wrap in my Oofas. 

It's been just 10 hours and my right foot feels better already. Being protected in the big boot is making such a difference.

So yesterday I went out and my car battery was not able to turn on my car. The battery wasn't dead completely it just wasn't strong enough. Today my neighbor came over with some battery that starts the battery and his trickle battery. After about 20 minutes the car started and I stood outside and let it run for 30 minutes. Luckily a neighbor came by to chat with me while I was standing there. I would have sat down but the boot doesn't really fit in the driver's seat. Now I have to start the car every day this week to charge up the battery.

Until tomorrow.. 

WATCHED ALL TWILIGHT

It was beautiful today. I sat outside for a short bit. It is a bit of a pain getting out back with two casts so I don't go much. 

I finished watching all five Twilight movies. I started the first one on Friday. Watched two and three on Saturday and four and five today. I didn't dnt live it but it did get better along the way. The acting in the first three was bad. I had so many questions like why did Jacob wear such a bad wig? How does a human wear clothes, turn into a giant werewolf and then when he turns back to a human he is wearing clothes again? Where did the Cullen's get all their money? How did they suddenly have a nursery full of baby stuff? Amazon?? Why couldn't the non-human eating vampires eat meat from a butcher? Those are just some of my questions. 

Until tomorrow...

IS IT MY FOOT?

It might be my foot. I have now felt nauseous for two days. Not the whole day but after I do a bunch of walking. It makes me think that my foot is not healed enough and the pain is making me nauseous. I checked and I do not have a fever or COVID. The only thing I can think of is my foot. 

I am only using a cane now (and only outside and on stairs) and maybe it is too soon. 

I spent my whole morning working on invoices. I finished. It is surprising considering I used a new program that sucked! I want my QuickBooks back! Hopefully I get my computer back before the next invoices are due. 

Until tomorrow...

JUMPY ARM AND LEG

I really wish I had something exciting to write today but I had a work emergency that was supposed to take a few minutes turned into hours. I don't like it when work stuff takes up my day off. It makes me feel unbalanced because I was looking forward to that day to get things done.

I did go to acupuncture in the afternoon. I'm finding acupuncture to be very interesting. Many times when I go to acupuncture I get what I call jumpy legs. After she puts the little needles in me, which by the way do not hurt, sometimes different parts of my body get jumpy. But jumping I mean like a nerve is triggered. I haven't quite figured out if the jumpy is a good thing or a bad thing. Today my left leg, where I have the torn ligament, was very jumpy. My left arm, where I think I hit my elbow when I fell, was also jumpy. Next time I go I think I'll ask her if jumpy means good or jumpy means bad or jumpy means nothing.

Until tomorrow...

FOOT PAIN

My foot is still bothering me today so I called the doctor's office. I wanted to talk to the doctor to see if this is normal or not but the receptionist would not put me through to the doctor or let me leave a message. Instead I had to get an appointment for Monday to let her look at it. I have a feeling she's going to look at it and say everything's normal and I would have wasted part of my day to go down to the appointment.

I am hoping that nothing's wrong and I can go on my trip in a couple weeks with no pain.

Until tomorrow...

BOTHERSOME FOOT

My broken foot has been bothering me quite a bit. Today I turned around and I heard a click from inside my foot. Then it started hurting quite a bit. Going to wait and see what happens tomorrow before I call the doctor. I hope I haven't done anything bad.

I'm planning to visit my friend in a couple weeks and I don't want to have a foot that's bothering me. It will keep me from doing anything fun. It will also be bothersome driving.

I got a good report from Lucky's dog walker. She goes with him 3 days a week and walks about 2 miles. He said she just walks and walks and walks. He stops for a break and she continues walking.

Until tomorrow...

BLOG ANALYTICS

 Analytics are so funny. I look at the analytics of this blog every now and then. I remember when I was happy to get 10 people reading this blog. Last month I had over 47,000 views. That is mind boggling to me. In total I have had over 300,000 views. Wow! Thank you so much for reading. 

I did something to my broken foot. I was walking and turning at the same time and I actually heard a crack inside my foot. Now it is hurting. I don't know if I can break my foot again but I did something. I had both my boots on but I stopped using the crutches or cane inside. I will see how it is tomorrow. 

I am back to working too many hours. It is 9:30 pm and I am here with a laptop in my lap. I spent so many months training myself to put the laptop away at 5pm so I can enjoy the evening but this is two nights in a row that I am working WAY past 5pm. I have to do something to stop this. 

Until tomorrow...

RUDE AND OFFENSIVE

Tonight someone called me rude and offensive because I gave them some criticism. They are the type of person who takes on all the work and then complains that no one helps them. I'd call that a martyr. 

Tonight we had a bit of a verbal scuffle. He sent two communications asking If I did something. After a few hours I did the thing but not to his liking. He sent a communication stating he feels like he is the only one working and if we are not going to assist, he will find someone else. 

I sent back a communication and that's when I got a phone call. We hashed it out and I said I might quit. We hashed some more and I apologized for being harsh. He finally started finding solutions but not before he called me rude and offensive. Oh, well. Sometimes I think people mistake straightforward for rude. 

I'm tired after this late night phone call. 

Until tomorrow...

VEGAN SOUP

 It rained today!! It was a light rain or maybe a sprinkle. It was nice to see rain again. 

I decided to make soup. I am trying to listen to the Integrative Medicine people and eat better. It was a bean soup mix and I added yellow squash. It tastes great! 

I basically worked on invoicing clients all day. I ran into a road block when I realized my accounting software is on my broken laptop. Ugh! Now I have to spend hours on the phone with support! 

Until tomorrow...
