Aug. 2nd, 2015
I dreamed about puppies and kittens and keeping them corralled. They were so wriggly and cute. Could be that it was because Zoey came into the bed last night about 3 am and snuggled in so that I was spooning her. So sweet.
I iced my foot religiously yesterday and this morning I am rewarded with a foot that I can flex and circle and move and touch any way I want pain free!
Yesterday I changed the sheets on the bed (putting my hands and arms next to hard edges as I maneuvered the sheets into place. And I broke down a bunch of cardboard boxes and wrangled them down to the dumpsters. These activities normally would have resulted in purple blood bruises on my hands and arms. But, today, none. My forearm hit the edge of a cabinet and there's a very small spot there but that's it. It's amazing to see both hands with nothing but normal skin color on them. Wow.
Today will be swim and then home for air conditioning and brunch and baseball and other stuff that can be done in the cool of the living room.
I watched a nice little movie last night - 5 Floors Up. It was one of those that, at the end I thought, meh. And then I kept thinking about it and kept thinking about it and pretty soon I realized that it was really way more than meh.
The book I'm listening too, I think is the same kind of deal - The New Neighbor by Leah Stewart. It's growing on me maybe because the voice of the book is an old lady like me. The movie was about old people, too.
I'm fascinated by how old people think. Do they feel like old people or do they feel like young adults in the wrong body? I think that the perception of old people is at war with how the old people themselves feel a lot of the time.

Tracking the ugly...
Aug. 2nd, 2015 10:46 amWhen I tossed the box into the dumpster, the lid landed on my hand and I got another senile purpura bruise. But, the lid really landed hard and in the olden days (a month ago), it would have resulted in a raised, really deep purple which this did not. Also it would take a good 4 weeks to clear up.
I've never tracked one of these before mainly because I had so many all the time. One on top of another. But, now I have one and I'm going to give it a good watch.
Here's what it looked like 5 minutes after the lid landed:
When I got home from my swim, I outlined it so I could watch better (can't make it any uglier... now it nearly looks tatoo-ish!! This was taken 2.5 hours after the lid landed:
So exciting!!
My Amazon music/video/kindle credits were coming due so I burned them off with the movie I saw last night and two albums. One was Shane McAnally's only album. And the other was Jason Isbell's latest. I put them both on the iPod Shuffle and together they made an exceptional swim set.
Oh and someone left a very nearly full bag of my favorite bear stuffing on the free shelf! Enough for 2 or 3 bears. I love that free shelf.
I'm home now and breakfasted and ready for the ballgame.

Going backwards
Aug. 2nd, 2015 05:15 pmHmmmm soooo... I kind of expected my bruise to shrink over the coming days but... not so far. It's not even staying within the lines.
Lid on hand: 7:45 am. (It's important to note that this is entirely painless. Even pressing on the bruise does not hurt one bit.)
I cannot imagine it's going to change this rapidly every day but even if it does there is a limit to my obsession. A pic a day from here on out.
