Wrapped my foot in an ace bandage today. I still couldn't get it in my tennis shoe, but it has stretched out my espadrille/mule/shoe thingy. I was hurting so I took off the ace bandage, but it still hurts when I walk. It's cool when I sit down. I am, however, grinding my teeth a bit in reaction to the pain and stress, which isn't good.
I went to this website to see these temporary tattoos and found so damned many things that are cool, I've wasted probably 30 minutes looking. I'd give you links, but there's just too much. Go there. See for yourself. Holly, they have pink kitchen ware!
There was a rummage sale here at the office today to provide funds for our office sports teams. I am a scavenger at heart, so I couldn't pass it up. I almost ALWAYS find something at these sales. Got Scarlett a couple of shirts, books, a table top grill, etc. I will set up my patio furniture some time this week, and perhaps then I will be a little happier and more relaxed. Unfinished business at my home is definitely one thing that induces my tension.
Changing Scarlett's medicine is inducing tension as well. She is much more sparkling, but she's also belligerent, unable to stay on task, prone to throwing herself on the floor or making a simple slip into a huge falling production, complete with screams and moans. She often refuses several times to do what I ask until I've escalated to screaming and pulling her by the arm to the place she needs to be. She sneaks and calls people when she's supposed to be doing chores. She does her chores half-assed, and has to repeat them while crying and cursing me. I don't know how much of this is standard behavior that's been squelched by her previous medication, how much of it is her attempt to get the most out of the change of meds by making things appear worse than they are, and how much is my inability to cope with a flighty, talkative, oppositional child. Being in pain, even when it's mild pain, makes everything else more difficult.
I'm going to a poetry group meeting tonight. I forgot my notebook AND my bound book, so I have nothing to share. Maybe I'll print out a few things from here. That's an idea I hadn't considered.
I think that's all. I'm going to try and do some more work. Ciao bebbehs.
