The back is sore but nothing is broken. The ankle likely has a high sprain or something. I got a brace at Wal-Mart yesterday and it has really helped a lot in not being excruciatingly painful for me to put weight on it. I’ve been doing the whole RICE thing (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) so I likely have another week of pain and then I’ll be normal. I’m really missing taebo though — haven’t tried it with the brace on.

Dooce.Com
Dooce.Com kicked butt at the Bloggies.
I guess Heather is surprised that all of us read her weblog and muse about how our weblogs want to be Dooce.Com when they grow up? 😛
And I still want to know: why didn’t someone tell me about this site sooner?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?
Back: OK Ankle: Not OK
Well… the back isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Perhaps it’s from the massive doses of Aleve I’ve been taking all day.
My ankle (which I landed on in a seated position) is likely sprained. I walked 1.5 miles on a sprained ankle yesterday. I should be getting some weight loss points for that. Unfortunately… I’m not.
The first chance I’ll have at seeing someone medically trained: technically tomorrow (parish nurse) but… for x-rays and such, I have to wait until Monday. Hope the person I want to see is free.
Until then, I will be whiny and crabby. Adjust your opinions of me accordingly.
Owwwwwwwwwwww!
Note to self: do not go down stairs at light speed. Doing so will result in you slipping and going down them on your back.
I’m going to be in agony tomorrow…
Only In Our House…
Jon: Jen, I’ve got this strange urge to celebrate Communion according to the Book of Common Prayer, Canada 1962. However, there’s the rule against celebrating Communion yourself. Wanna play Anglican?
Jen: Ummm… let me think about that for a few days.
Surprises and Spring Cleaning
I now understand why spring cleaning is so popular — you have to have something to do in early March when the weather shifts from spring (Saturday and Sunday) to fall/winter (the last few days).
I did the following today:
+ cleaned the microwave
+ cleaned out the trash
+ tossed out our massive plastic bag collection
+ cleaned the dish drainer
+ did two dishwasher loads
+ cleaned the counters
+ baked two loaves of apple bread
(Thank you Flylady!)
Before pre-marital counselling, I need to get the clothes from downstairs to upstairs with Jon’s help.
Surprises
One of my parishioners (who is a pastor’s mommy — her middle son is an ELCA pastor serving abroad) stopped by with a card for us. Inside the card was $100 and a note saying “Use this for groceries or taxes”. I’m thinking income taxes and subsidizing $20 of a new digital mouse? There will be much thank-you card writing!
