Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 4 ever]

Day 5: 7k

13k

I hope it's doing even better today, Pickles. Mine is after lots of rest, ice, and ibuprofen yesterday, but I'm about to go to the doctor now. I'm going to get caught in traffic on the way home, but all the providers on this side of town are booked until after Thanksgiving, and I can't wait that long.

Not sure of the day, but it was nineteen k. It's a poem. Ogden was great, but I didn't know 'em.

Hopefully, both of you are feeling better each day.

I am looking forward to being able to have Advil tomorrow. I think it's just inflamed still, as I know the muscles are much looser than they were.

I would complain about being really tired, but I think I am quite happy about just being tired as compared to what you two are each going through. Hopefully y'all are feeling better today.

ETA: This feels like the inverse of a humble brag?

Advil hasn't helped so far. Might just need time to build up, though. I talked with my dad and he said it would likely just take some time to finish healing, and that I was doing pretty much everything available to me. If it doesn't get better in another week or so, he gave me recommendations from there.

Hope yours feels better soon, Pickles, and you're able to rest it enough to let it heal! I was right that mine is a muscle strain. I have a referral to physical therapy but didn't have time to try to find one that can see me any time soon today. It's on top of the to-do list for tomorrow.

Next week will be crazy at work. Trying to just be organized and hope I have enough help. If not, well, things will have to be cancelled, and the week will get a lot less busy.

Advil finally kicked in and I got a decent night of sleep last night. Still not fully healed for sure, but at least it's much more manageable now! Whew!

Muscle strain is no fun, Siniri. I'm glad you'll be able to get therapy for it, though.

I feel like every week is crazy right now. I'm kinda going day to day (sometime hour to hour) just to muddle through. So many things going on...and somehow before Monday, I'm supposed to make "wings that attach to my hands so I can make them fly" for MLP. She wants to be a flying unicorn...and has the unicorn costume but it has no wings. Help? LOL Maybe tomorrow night?

Day 7. 12k and Groovy Lava lamp background

I actually was able to find a therapist who could see me Friday! I'm a little worried they're not that good... I'm used to providers you have to book weeks in advance.

Glad you're feeling better, Pickles. Maybe just some flaps on the arms,? Or just borrow a pair of faerie wings with the elastic straps, if that won't mess up the rest of the costume. I know so many little girls (and boys) who have at least one of those lying around.

100k today. Hooray.

The rest of today was awful, though.

Glad the Advil is helping and you were able to get into PT this Friday. Hopefully, they just had a cancellation or something and they turn out to be awesome.

She is 100% adamant that the faerie wings with straps are not what she wants (it has already been offered a few times and flat out rejected). She wants fabric that looks like wings and will attach to her hands, because then she can "fly." I think she got the idea from the owl costumes some of her dance friends wore in their recital in May. Sigh. We'll see if it happens or not...we have the fabric, I just don't know if I have the time! Seeing as she is willingly reusing the same outfit as last year, though, I'll do my best.

Day 1, BLB, 4k. I may stick this one out instead of restarting just to see if I can get a 2nd BLB.

Good luck, P!

Meh. No point keeping track anymore this round. It's not going to be a record either way, probably.

I hope you had a better day today, Blue, and you're continuing to heal, Pickles.

At the rate I'm going, I'm aiming for a new all time low. Eeesh. If I don't get a BLB, it probably WILL be a new all-time low.

Day 2, no matches, 2.5k

Hooray for Friday. It has been a really long and tiring week this week. No rest this weekend, either.
