Been there, done that. Ugh...it can take a while to heal, too. Good luck and I hope it feels better soon!!Well, I have been in denial for two days, but it is time to face the facts...
I sprained my ankle.
And guess what I was doing? Walking down the steps.
I thought it was just wrenched and I could deal with it, but then yesterday I decided to put a brace on it, and I examined it today and it was bruised and swollen. So now I'm on the brace. The small one. I'm not doing the big, goofy, immobilizing thing.
I wanted to go ice skating on Saturday but clearly that is not happening now
That is awesome!! That would be so amazing. We have Sinterklaas here (tonight actually) but he arrives in November by steamboat and we have never gone to see it because it's just too much. Too loud, too many people, too...everything. We didn't even have a diagnosis and we still never went. We went to the one in our neighborhood a couple of times...he came to the community center. But even that was too much and we stopped going every year. I would LOVE a special time to go when it's not as overwhelming!!Meant to share with those of you with autistic children (or similar medical issues) that I saw on the local news (MA) here yesterday, a special private time in a large shopping mall for these kids.
A few hours before the mall opened, these parents and children were allowed in, so that the kids could meet Santa without the usual noise and chaos of a shopping mall. It was a calm environment for these children, and they also had arts and crafts for them, and a few comfort dogs were there for the children to meet. The event was very well received, and I heard that quite a few other shopping malls in the U.,S. are also offering similar events during the holiday season.

Dang that gene pool thing. Hope it heals quick this time.
Sending prayers, pixie dust and wine. I'm hoping you don't need all 3 xoxo
Sympathy like. Please don't send it my way. thnx
Tonight may involve wine if I don't fall asleep in the next few minutes.
I had mice in my third floor apartment years ago!! Apparently my neighbor was a hoarder type personality and they just happened to find her place and spill over to mine. I tried for weeks to catch and release them humanely, but finally the exterminator had to come in
The tenants on my floor used to joke around saying that the mice must have been taking the elevator to the upper floors. The reality was that you could hear them in the walls--skeeved me out. They can get to anywhere they want. Exterminators were called in.
Years ago I lived in an apt. building on the 4th floor, and mice were in the building
Yeah they were in my walls too. The worst part was that my dog was totally submissive to them too, lol. I watched one look at her curiously from a shelf across the room and my puppy just layed down and watched her eat my chocolate
We went to a Brazilian steakhouse last night for our anniversary. My daughter is newly potty trained so when she says she needs to go we have to take her, even if we know she doesn't need to go. So her and I walk to the bathroom, and as soon as we get inside it she says "no I don't want to go potty" so we turn around and walk back out.
We get all the way back to where the tables are and she stops dead and says really loudly, "YOU DIDN'T WASH YOUR HANDS!!"
As ALL the people at the nearby tables turn to look at me judging me, and I'm standing there too embarrassed to put the words together that you don't have to wash your hands necessarily if you didn't actually use the bathroom, she adds equally loudly, "I DIDN'T WASH MY HANDS EITHER!!!"
Toddlers are so much fun...
