Oddly Enough, I Don't Have a List of Things to Write About. Still Not an Overly Short Post.

Today is my Friday, meaning that I have the next two days off. Tomorrow, Wednesday we'll be cleaning windows for two and maybe three businesses. How many we do depends on how long it takes and whether I can find a business card to give the third one a call first. I also have two appointments in the afternoon. The first is with my accountant to get our taxes done if I remember things I usually forget and then I see the ankle dr to make sure my foot is doing fine. It's, my ankle, is still tender sometimes, but I think it has to do more with when I can't walk correctly because the knee is bothering me. I'm sure the sprain is healed up. Thursday I have a store meeting I need to go to and then do a bit of shopping if I get paid that day. I usually see my mom on Thursdays and now that the time has changed and it's lighter later at night I may switch to seeing her at supper time again. I'm not sure yet whether I'll go Wednesday or Thursday since I'm also thinking of going to planet fitness again on Wednesday night to get an extra day in. I did really good there today. Things that hurt when I began working out didn't hurt anymore when I was done, like my back and legs. I have one tire that keeps deflating and I've been needing to get air put into it. Here we have a Discount Tire store which will fill tires for free even if you didn't buy your tires there. Because they do that, I may just buy my next set of tires from them. I hope to do that with some of the tax money I get back. I was going to fill it with air yesterday after getting gas, but forgot. So, today I wrote an note and taped it to my dash so I'd remember after dropping my friend off from exercising. I thought maybe I could, for the first time ever make payout two months in a row. And while it's a bit early yet to know whether I will or won't make it, I'm only at 3.18 so I'll really need to push to make it happen. I'm not sure how feasible that will be with my next two days off somewhat filled up, but will see what I can do. The picture I'm including is from my stir fry I made last week. We ended up being out of the stir fry frozen veggies, so instead I bought two cans of the laChoy brand which was on sale. I also added to bottles of sweet and sour sauce and my shredded chicken. Yum. (Adding the picture from my smart phone which is faster than putting it onto my computer).

Be careful with your ankle, I know it takes very long to have it back to normal.

@MarshaMusselman I do not believe that a ankle can hurt because you do not walk right, but the doctor surely will be more specific.

@LadyDuck I thought the sprain was nearer the outside of the ankle bone, but he says it was where I am feeling it now. The thing is, it wasn't hurting there last week, just a little these past few days. He gave me a clean bill of health and if I have further problems I can see him again. I may try to wear the brace a bit longer just to support the area better although it is difficult to take off at night. If you can hurt your knee when stepping wrong, I don't see how you can't do the same thing with your foot. It doesn't hurt when I walk, normally. I can feel it more after I've been standing for my shift but otherwise, it's not bad at all. I don't want to screw things up, so I will be careful. It will be several weeks yet before we begin doing windows on a regular basis, so that should help too.

It turned out it wasn't as bad as originally thought. The X-ray that showed a ligament or tendon was separated ended up being an old injury. I'm sure the sprain was mild. It's slightly tender now but that's only a recent thing. I think it's related to me not walking right yet because of my knee and back hurting. But, I should find out soon enough

You do have a couple of busy days off. I hope you can get it all done and get some time here to increase your earnings and make the payout.

I didn't make it for March, but that's okay. I shouldn't have any problem for April unless we begin getting busy again with window work, but that still remains to be seen at present. Currently, my bank here is at 3.7843, so I'm over half way and should be fine but I may not have much over that but again will have to wait and see.

@just4him I've played a bit of hooky since last month and so far went up thirty cents. If I do better the rest of the month I should still be fine.

@MarshaMusselman I'm glad you'll make it this month. I made my personal goal. With all the editing I'm doing this month, I might not make the personal goal. We'll see.

Wow! I'm tired after reading all you have to do in the next two days! That's a lot of things you have going on. Good luck with the window washing and getting business number 3 on-board!

Business #3 got on board last month, but they are only in the location in our city on select days and until I found his business card there was no way to contact him to find out when he might be there. I did find it, but he didn't answer his phone or email immediately, so we ended up doing just the outside and maybe this month we will be able to get the in and out done again. Most people have a lot going on, but until you make a note of much of it, it doesn't seem that involved. Not all my days or weeks are that way.

This reminds me I need to ask my dad to air up my tires for me when he is back in town. They keep looking low and my pump isn't working. I won't make payout this month either I'm only at $3.91. Haven't really felt like being here lately.

Now that I'm back to work in not here as much either. Make yourself a note so you don't forget again.

Be careful with your ankle, it takes more time than we think to heal.
