The sore ankle put the kibosh on any physical activity. My ankle was so painful and swollen this morning that I debated going to the hospital for some treatment.
Instead, I laid low for the day with my ankle elevated and iced at times. By 4:30, I could lower my leg without massive pain, a good start on recovery.
My dog has been bugging me all day to come inside but I didn't want to have to get up and deal with the dog. She is a major pain in the ass. She is like a little kid who wants to play constantly.
So I left her outside until about 4.
That's when the rain started.
So it sit, with my leg up, a great book in my lap and the dog curled up at my foot.
R e l a x e d !
Ah...
I might visit a couple of friends tonight but that's it on the activity.
Feels great.

How did you injure your ankle?
I was sitting at a picnic table after the performance bullshitting with the cast. I got up in a hurry with a bottle of coke in one hand and hooked my ankle on the cross bar supporting the seats, fell into some stone steps. Drove some glass into my hand (minor) and, unknown to myself at the moment, injured the ankle.
These things happen REAL FAST! Quite jarring.
Dogs are a major pain, I agree. Ours is 13 now and snores all day. I've been trying to get Julie to understand that what dogs mostly want is (in order) food, to be talked to in baby-talk, and 100% of your attention. No way. They are dogs!!! That's only about 2 steps up from bugs.
Bugs, huh? I actually think you have a lower opinion of dogs than I do!
The problem is that the dog is cute, cute, cute. But at the same tim a pain in the ass.
She got me up 3 times last night...just to play. We are going to have a little talk tonight. You can guess how well that will help.
