Don’t know why getting a new phone is so fun even when it’s nearly identical to the old one, but it is

Surgeon said I could start bearing weight tomorrow. PT says I can only lightly touch down for balance until my next session, which is next Tuesday, because he doesn’t want me to push it too hard. I actually don’t feel ready to bear weight at all because my foot is still very tender and doesn’t move well… but I’m also desperate to have two feet again.

When I told my sister I wanted to visit Stentorp Farm during our stay and buy yarn from them, she said “Cool, I’ve actually been meaning to do that myself since we moved here” so I’m confident that neither of us were switched in the hospital at birth.

I just booked our flights to Finland for this fall!! It's really happening <3

I need more hours in the day just to balance my knitting and gaming, let alone stuff like work and chores.

@chuck242 I would do this but I don’t think I’m allowed to remote into it from a personal device. We have really strict security at my work.

Started working from home today. I couldn’t get the HDMI switch to work so I gave up and just connected one of my home monitors directly to the work laptop. So now I have one monitor for each computer and a USB switch to connect the keyboard and mouse to each. It isn’t ideal, but it works.

@QueenOfEverything thank you 💜

One of our cats is spending the night at the vet. They don’t know what’s wrong yet but we’re hoping it’s inflammatory bowel disease and not something worse. I miss her and I know she must be miserable.

I’m cleared to work from home beginning Monday! I hate using my tiny work laptop so I got an HDMI matrix and a USB switch so I can using my home gaming setup for work. Should be quite nice.

Almost done watching Inventing Anna and I truly can’t figure out how she got so many people on her side, like her attorney and the journalist. She’s mean, rude, selfish, a compulsive liar, and she tricked and manipulated everyone she knew out of thousands of dollars not to mention straight up stealing huge amounts in services from hotels all over the city. What on earth is there to make anyone want to help her?

Normally we couldn’t afford such a trip. My great uncle left me a sizable inheritance when he passed away late last year and this seemed like a fitting use for some of it since I haven’t seen my sister in nearly 7 years.

Planning my trip to Finland this fall in earnest. We’ll be staying with my sister in the archipelago for two weeks 💕 So far the biggest thing to work out is a train ride to Rovaniemi in Lapland. We’ll go into the Arctic Circle and meet some reindeer.

I was wrong, fixed the boot and it still hurts. Removing the front guard completely seems to help but that isn’t an option. Back to Tylenol I suppose.

That moment you realize your foot has been hurting for hours because you accidentally put the front plastic shield of your surgical boot on upside down so the shin guard was pressing on your injured joint 🫠

Nothing says “I’m insecure about my small penis” like a giant fuck off pickup truck parked like a jackass because god forbid it look like they actually use it

Now that the cast is off, it’s time for the next countdown. 10 days until I can try to put weight on my foot!

I’m seeing my foot now for the first time in almost three weeks! It looks pretty gross tbh.

@stueytheround exactly 🙃

T minus 22 hours until cast removal ⏱️
