Giving me the middle toe...

susandennisThis morning I got on the treadmill as usual and after a few minutes clearly something was hinky with my left foot. I kept on but it was feeling really weird and on the edge of hurt and I thought maybe I should see if maybe there was a rock? or something there so I stopped.
I treadmill in sandals with memory foam. They are old and comfy. So I stopped and took off my left sandal and discovered it was really bloody as were the toes on my left foot. I could not even tell where it was coming from. But the memory foam on the sandal had clearly developed fatal alzheimer's. The divots my toes made were craters. There was too much blood to see what was actually causing the blood from the shoe. I hobbled into the bathroom and wiped at the foot until I could finally see the tiniest little cut. Man, that's some good blood flow out of that tiny thing.
I washed it all up and abandoned the treadmill for the day. Skipping a day is not going to kill me and I sure don't want to aggravate that tiny cut into something not at all tiny. Plus I needed it to stop bleeding. The sandals gota proper burial tossed into the trash - RIP. Happily I have another pair just like them that I've been saving for just this day.
Yesterday I got my tv/internet bill. It had inexplicably jumped from a way too much $230 to a ohmyfuckinggodwhatthehell $280. $80 of that is baseball. Ridiculous but I decided that it's what I want and I was not going to stress over it every month like last year. That plan is working so I decided not to stress over this. It is what it is. BUT, also, I sent an email to Katie, my contact at the company, asking her, nicely, WTF??? and is there anything we can do about it.
This morning she replied that I had come out of a couple of special deals which caused the increase and she found a couple more so she would apply the fixes and the bill would be only $5 more than last month. Whew. Comcast would be a better deal for me in a lot of ways and particularly for the first year but they do not have Katie. So I'll stick with Wave. I'm very happy to have a $5 increase. Way to work me, Wave!!
Yesterday afternoon I got baking ants in my pants. So I went to Goodwill. I got two different kinds of pastry dough blenders. I couldn't decide which and they were $.75 each. I got two 6" pans. They don't exactly match and one is really a small casserole dish but, better than what I had. I also picked up some measuring cups that are a little different than mine. And... a cake plate! A grand total of $15. I was chuffed as they say across the pond.
This morning I think I'll go out and get a few grocery store supplies.
The baseball game is on at 1. The horrible announcer is on radio for this series which is great. It means I can watch it all on TV and start late and skip through ads. On the downside, we are play Houston and they are great and if last night was any indication, we are going to be shredded by the last game on Sunday. oh well. If we don't make the playoffs, at least I'll save money on my cable bill sooner.
The Seahawks are playing a game - exhibition or something - at their stadium tonight. Full crowd. No masks required. No vaccine required. (The mask mandate does not go into effect until Monday. But, I suspect, the virus ain't going to sit around and wait til Monday. But, I am not a scientist.) Regardless of the weather, I will be closing my door and turning on the air conditioning in hopes of drowning out the drunk screamers. I just hope they don't leave a mess but I know they will.

One of the reasons I started baking bread was that I was tied down four hours at a time with football. Perfect period for baking bread. I used to bake once a week. Not like you have to pay that much attention. Soccer, you have to stay engaged.

2. it really stopped being amazing and the choices started getting slim
3. BUT mainly, the baker got pregnant and quit doing it!
