For almost a year now I have been fighting a foot issue. It started as plantar fasciitis and then eventually evolved into nerve damage.
Wednesday afternoon I had a small procedure done where they burned the nerve and also gave me 2 cortisone shots. The burning wasn't nearly as bad as they had mentally prepped me for but damn, today it hurts like hell.
I really need to get my butt in gear and go run some errands (drop off some donations that have been in the basement forever; return library books), but I've been having a really hard time getting motivated today.
Despite fireworks being illegal in the county, that stopped exactly no one, and it was like a war zone last night. My poor cat was so freaked out and unhappy. I stayed up later than I really wanted to (watching more Bridgerton) to give her some cuddles to try to calm her down.
Thanks! I need to make an appointment to renew other prescriptions, I will ask about anxiety meds too.
I think you and I actually live pretty close to each other, just opposite sides of the border. You've described your general area before which is south of me and when we talk about weather we almost always have the same forecast.
I'm in central WA state so if by pretty close you mean 5+ hours away from British Columbia, then yes. I do tend to have the same weather as you. I live in a semi desert with all four seasons.
You're further south in the state than I realized, but same climate. We just share the smokey air all summer.
The town where my parents have their second home (they are retired so they’re there 30-40% of the time, and we are there for weekends and school breaks) burned recently. We went up a few days ago to assess and it was so strange seeing a street of houses that were fine, then 1-2 burned, and then more fine houses. Or the other way, most of a street burned and one house still standing?
Thankfully our street made it but the fire was so so close.
I am so glad your parents' house was spared. It really is wild to see the devastation and how random it can be. How did the clean up go?
I started calorie tracking, and holy shit is it easy to rack up the calories. No wonder I was steadily gaining weight! I hate measuring things out with a fiery passion, but I am going to have to retrain myself to recognize a decent portion size.
So glad to hear your parents' house is okay, arehopsveggies!
I definitely overdid it yesterday running multiple errands and then having a family get-together at my sister's to do fireworks. I even accidentally ripped off the scab covering one of my incisions. Too much activity, and I'm feeling it today. Thankfully the kids entertained themselves while I've been lounging around in my pajamas, we ordered a pizza for lunch, and I think I'm going to ask H to make dinner because I'm beat even though I did nothing all day.
This weekend we get to plant things in two of our newly-created border beds, and I'm so excited to see it all start to come together. My backyard has been nothing but dirt for over a year now, and I NEED green again. No other plans, really, though I'll probably go to my mom's house at some point to see some ground cover she thinks we should look at buying to deter weeds in the new beds.
I spent 2.5 hours wandering around Ikea today. I did not buy the storage shelves I went there for, but I did come home with $400 worth of other stuff - omg. I do think I know what shelves I want, but it is almost 100 degrees today and I wasn't sure it would actually fit in my Honda Civic so I thought it best not to buy them and then find out they don't. I think I'm going to just pay the $20 to have them shipped because I think it might be a little too long to get it in the car.
The Ikea designers have so many good ideas. It's pretty impressive how they display everything - i wish I had their help with my whole house.

We threw out everything from the fridge and freezer, but other than that you couldn’t even tell there’s been a fire. Unless you drive one street over and -everything is gone.
wildrice, the heat index is 109. So, not just “almost 100.” Stay inside an chill.
Yikes! It is so gross out - and the forecast shows little reprieve. I hate this! I really need to water but will probably wait until the sun goes down. What happened to the rain we were supposed to get the last 2 days???

One of my former students does this for a living. I should get his input on what to do with our new rooms, come to think of it!
