1. Has anyone had (or is suffering) from Plantar fasciitis? Any recommendations to help deal with the pain?
The pain in my foot started last week and this morning it hurt too much to put any weight on my left foot because of the pain in my heel. I went to a walk-in clinic and this was my diagnosis. I was given special exercises to do, told to take ibuprofen and basically told to come back if it gets worse. I made an appointment with a podiatrist, but it's not for a month. Seriously, I was bound to get this (wearing terrible shoes for all of the walking I do), but did it have to happen right before my trip to Chicago? Ugh.
2. Any recommendations for a college graduation gift? It's for one of our mutual friends. He's not really into drinking or anything. I could do clothes, I suppose, but that requires time. It's for this coming Sunday and I was thinking of just giving cash. Is that too lame? I was thinking Dave could give $25 and I could give $25. And we'll make one of our famous robot cards or well, Dave will because that's not my area of expertise.
Besides both of those things, I got to have an awesome falafel salad at Whole Foods today. It's right by the clinic. & our old apartment. It came with this awesome dill salad dressing and it was the best. Also, ginger snaps for dessert. Yum! Food has a way of making you feel a wee bit better.
P.S. I'm still working on those top 5 lists. I'll post them up before the end of the month. It's taking a little longer because some require photos. :) |

What a crappy day. It was so crappy in fact that when I got on the bus the bus driver said to me, "One of those days, huh?" It was one of those days.
I woke up this morning with a stomach ache and a sore throat. I was also incredibly thirsty! So, I drank some iced tea hoping that would rid me of the sore throat, but no, as the day wore on, my throat got worse. I drank two cups of green tea and tons of water at work, but nothing seemed to work. It got duller at points, but it's still there being all sore and stuff. I wanted to leave early thinking that the workload was light, but at about 5pm (when I normally go on break), I was asked if I could stay late! I went on my break and I couldn't even eat anything. By this point, I could barely talk and was just in a foul mood. I stayed late, decided that I had to treat myself but couldn't find what I was looking for at Store-24, but decided to give it one more shot at the gas station convenience store I always pass but never go inside. I lucked out and found a Sunkist Float that I've been thinking about for weeks. It didn't help my throat, but I left the store in high spirits.
& now I still feel bad, but this made me fangirl squeal with glee. Are any of you reading Ryan Adam's blog? It's hilarious and honest and bizarre. This is probably one of my most favorite entries so far:
“TWO SONGS on tape today. I mean, not on tape, i work at home and record onto my little robotic recording machine. But not one, TWO. already. ooooh i love them they are sweet and gentle. with funky laid back hip hop beats. but no electric anything but bass.
the first one is called ‘Allumette Alemagne” and the second one “Disappearing Act.” I would sample them for you but J would do a frontside grind on my face.
XX more later, Foggy, my invisible electric diary machine.
oh by the way, from now on I am going to talk to my blog like it was a spider-plant. It’s pretend house plant name is “Foggy”
Do you name your house plants? I sure do.”

I totally name my house plants! Oh, I feel like we'd be awesome friends! |

I woke up this morning with a sore throat. That's not so unusual in the winter time, so I shrugged it off even though it really hurt, and drank some tea and got ready for work. I realized by the time I left that my throat was still hurting and when I got to work my throat was still hurting and there were times during the day I wasn't thinking about my throat, but I only think that happened because I was too annoyed at what was happening at work. So here I am at home again and my throat still hurts, but I don't really want to call out of work tomorrow, so I'm going to try and struggle through the day and hopefully two more days until this weekend. I hope I can last that long. I feel like collapsing right now.

I should be walking to the subway this very second, but instead, I'm staring at the screen wanting to crawl back into bed with a box of tissues and to gently cough my way back to sleep. Unfortunately, I'm going to go to work and I'm going to cough my way through my shift, unless it becomes totally intolerable, and then I will ask to go home early. I can tell this cold is on its way out, but this weekend it hit with full force, slowly building up all week to the pinnacle on Friday and even worse on Saturday and mildly annoying yesterday. At least I woke up with the ability to speak today, but now I'm in my phlegm state and eww. It hurts to sneeze, it seems to shake up my throat a bit, but hopefully, this will be done by the end of the week, so I can enjoy the long weekend that is coming up. & hooray! |
