Woke up at 5 a.m.

63 degrees in the Fort.

Back to work after being off 2 days.

Peddle something.

Close tonight, because I was off on Tuesday.

Have a wonderful day!

• Been fighting a massive headache all night. Zero restful sleep
• Pulled a calf muscle jumping down from my truck two days ago that is taking a stupid amount of time to heal. Still wobbling around.
• I am very graceful
• No major plans or deviation from the norm today

What's for lunch?

Do the day, yall!

I think it's whatever pressure system that's moving through - is there one? I hope so. Everyone I know who gets headaches has one right now, including me.

Dog walked, breakfast with a former colleague. Eddie's Place on Sharon Amity Rd is a pretty good spot traditional American fare; my eggs and hash browns were quite good.

Work work work.

Warm, sunny day in west Georgia/east Alabama. Opened the sunny side windows so the cats could get some solar love and fuss at birds for being, well, birds if they wished. Made coffee.
Because a good day starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

At the doctor's office waiting to have my knee examined. They're 15 minutes late so far.

I don't get upset about them being late. I know every Karen online gets upset if their doctor sees them one minute past the appointment time but they deal with some complex people and ailments and not every patient can be a 15-minute visit and throw a prescription for some pills at them.

Who is Sharon Amity?

Does your house straddle the state line?

We are about 8 miles away and Alabama offers some better prices. Bonus: enter Alabama and you experience a different time zone.

Agree to a point. I once was sitting in an appointment room for a close to an hour waiting for my doc. I finally went looking for someone, and apparently the doc was just super slow.

Apparently all of the Sharon street names in that part of Charlotte reference Sharon Presbyterian Church, founded 1831.

• Parlor Panther #1 derped out this morning and instead of pushing the bedroom door open, stuck her paw under it and pulled it closed
• Kolache Factory for breakfast
• My recent AirBnB no-show is booked again for today. Come on free money!
• There are not enough hours in the day for grad school to not suck right now

The doctor said that the swelling in my knee tells him that there's "obviously torn cartilage in there." I have an MRI scheduled for Wednesday morning. I also had the knee x-ray'd, and it showed some arthritis. I could have told them that. Hits me every winter. I have it in my right hip as well.

I talked to a nurse practitioner about my pain when I'm trying to fall asleep. She asked me what I'm taking. I said "A lot of Motrin... two every six hours." She told me that wasn't a lot. Didn't tell me how much I could take though, and I didn't get a prescription for pain meds. I might call them and see if I can talk to someone about it. I don't like exceeding recommended dosages.

Ask if they think you'd be a good candidate for Meloxicam once a day or Diclofenac twice daily. Those were a huge help for some musculoskeletal issues I've had. Diclofenac is easier on the stomach.

800 mg of ibuprofen is what I was prescribed every 12 hours, it was 1 pill…you could just take 4 ibuprofen every 12 hours.

Don't do the ibuprofen long term, especially if you are susceptible to stomach ulcers.
