I've done something to my clavicle, or to be more exact, my sternoclavicular joint. I saw the doc this morning and will have it x-rayed, just not today, tomorrow, because there was an hour long wait today and I'm not that patient, especially at lunchtime.
We seem to be coming to the end of our covid here, thankfully. Now we're just down to the coughing and the fatigue. Poor Jack has had it the worst though because his milk still tastes funny and he won't drink it. That boy loves his milk and it's a "fucking crisis" for him. He didn't say that, another kid did, but it's apt.
I still have dishes from last night to wash up and then dog walks. It's supposed to rain/snow for the next couple of days so I want to get out and get some fresh air.
I'm still waiting to find out when my condo will be fixed, post flood, so that I can sell it. Nobody seems in a hurry whatsoever which is frustrating. It needs some ceiling replaced and some taping, mudding, and painting to the bathroom, bedroom, and living room walls. More than I can do.
Things I'm thankful for today.
No offence to my American friends, but I am so thankful I don't live in the US.
Roomba.
Peace and quiet.
Dog walks.
Hugs from the big guy, and the little guy.
My washer and dryer.
Time.
Public health care.
Noticing my triggers with Jack, and realizing that's what they are.
A very good night's sleep.
A very comfortable (new) bed.
What are you thankful for today?
I think you were looking at my post as I was looking at yours.
ReplyDeleteRoomba...hmm, a total waste of money for me but I really want a toy and the companionship.
The worst words we might have heard when we were kids were bloody, bugger and rarely, shit. We didn't really know swear words worse than those, even at secondary school.
I love my roomba. With two dogs, one cat, and one five year old, it does an excellent job of cleaning, but I still do a deep clean with my vacuum once a week.
DeleteWhen I was a kid, mum and dad swore, but just jesus christ, ass, and shit. Fuck came into my lexicon when I became a nurse strangely enough:)
Oh, dear, how did you injure your clavicle? Covid, ugh. That reminds me that I'm due for a booster. Perhaps I'll get one this week. You have many things to be thankful for. So do I if I sat down to make a list but all my lists are currently about mom's estate. :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't injure my clavicle, that's the mystery. Hopefully the x-ray will shed some light on what's going on. It's probably just arthritis. Cause I'm OLD!
DeleteIt's always so much paper work when someone dies. I hope you're ok. I've been thinking of you this past week. Take care.
Sorry about the shoulder/clavicle. I would really like to not be a US citizen. I can't say American anymore, because last time we were in Canada, a Canadian guy took me to task about "it's the Americas, north and south, you're from the US." So, there has been verbal retraining for me. Very darling squirrel picture.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I agree with that guy or not. Regardless, just glad I don't live there right now.
DeleteI'm not offended at all at you being glad you don't live in America. Smart woman!
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteNo offence taken, but I as an American, don't wish our predicament on ANYONE else who can avoid it. Bear with us, please, hopefully cooler heads will prevail, and this horrible nightmare will end. I sincerely hope it doesn't take all four years. I am SO embarressed and frightened by all this disaster around me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a scary mess. I hope there are cooler heads still left in the Republican party.
DeleteWhatever the injury to your sternoclavicular joint is, I hope it can be remedied quickly. Is that the kind of thing that physio might help?
ReplyDeleteI was going to go to physio but thought I should get an x-ray first.
Deletewe couldnt say hell, it had to be heck. we couldnt say fart, we had to say 'dropped a rose'
ReplyDeleteWe could say hell. I went to church a lot as a teen, so I don't think I swore much then, it was as I got older that I started swearing more. Now I embrace it, fullheartedly:)
DeleteToday? I'm thankful all my days are my own.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you retired.
DeleteSorry about your clavicle and about your condo. No offense taken about not wanting to be living in the USA now. I don't want to either, but I am afraid I am stuck. As kids, my brother and sister and I heard our parents swear, usually my father. Never the "f-word" though. I didn't really hear that word much in high school either. I guess from a different era. Now whenever my sister talks about the orange felon, she calls him a fuckwad. I don't think the word "trump" has left her lips for the last two years. It is just fuckwad.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was not a fan of fuck either. Fuck wad seems accurate.
DeleteA friend of mine has a saying about really stupid or obnoxious people, they should have been a swallow:)
I'm guess I'm thankful I'm seeing the doctor today for this damn stone. But right now I'm just very anxious.
ReplyDeleteCould you have costochondritis? That may present as farther down though. Whatever. Glad you're getting to the root of it.
I don't think any of us would be offended to hear anyone say they're glad they don't live in America right now.
I have had costochondritis, but that's not this. I'm off for my x-ray shortly. Tell the doc to get rid of that damned stone.
DeleteI'm glad your viral stuff is subsiding, and I hope the clavicle injury doesn't turn out to be anything severe. The "fucking crisis" story is funny but it makes me wonder what kind of language that kid is hearing in that household! I'm also thankful I don't live in the US, but I feel like we're almost as affected by Trump's insanity here.
ReplyDeleteThings have changed a lot since you and I were kids Steve and swearing is pretty commonplace and kids hear it from their parents and older kids.
DeleteToday I am glad for so much. The first being I don't have a migraine - I had one at the start of the week that will see that blessing being my first point of gratitude for a while yet. I do love our "Kryton" who is an elderly roomba - today is Thursday, hereby known as "Kryton Day"
ReplyDeleteI run my roomba almost daily. Everyday would by Kryton day:)
DeleteGlad your migraine is gone.
Strange as it is, I hope it's just arthritis because then at least you can keep on moving and moving reduces arthritis symptoms - I can vouch for that. But I hope you get a decent pain killer to start.
ReplyDeleteI once was childminding a four year old who said fuck to everything, esp as a sort of greeting to all and sundry when we were out for a walk - his parents were in the process of a divorce and tried to explain it as a result - but I think he just liked the sound of the word and the reactions he got. He is a lovely grown up now, a happy father as well.
I hope it's just arthritis too. The pain has subsided a lot, which is nice. Still waiting for the x-ray report.
DeleteI probably swear more than most people, but it really depends who you're around. I have to say most cancer patients don't mind some swearing. It's also a stage that all children seem to go through, using grown up swear words, to figure out when it is and isn't appropriate to use them. Jack actually gives me a hard time when I swear.
Excellent gratitude list. I take no offense. Glad you’re all on the mend.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad too. Thanks.
DeleteI'm thankful for my quiet life. As Wordsworth said: "The world is too much with us; late and soon"
ReplyDeleteIt's so strange that a man who lived over 200 years ago, felt the same as we do today, but his words are still true.
DeleteMy thankfull list is very similar to yours. Love my roomba, glad i’m Canadian.Health care. Never used to swear but every time I have to look at trump’s ugly face, or hear his smarmy voice, I say go the fuck away or drop dead. Get off our case. Oh shit he is on TV again now. Gigi in Toronto
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read your comment. If ever there was a better reason to swear, I don't know what it is:)
