Did you know that it’s really hard to run a business out of your home when you are stuck on the floor with your foot up on a chair with ice on it? Yeah. Doesn’t really work. I got wrecked in my soccer game yesterday. Another girl completely took me out and I flipped over her and did all kinds of really fun things to my body. Even the Ref. said he wanted to see that again in instant replay on the news. Thanks guy. It’s like a car accident where you feel all of the bruises the following day. I’m so hurting today. Luckily, I always tape my ankles because I’ve injured them so many times in the past from soccer I know better than messing with fate. My left ankle would probably be a lot worse if it hadn’t been taped. My official diagnosis, per T. the Physical Therapist, is that I “strained my peroneal tendon, just posterior to the lateral malleolus.” Doesn’t that sound exotic? Try saying it five times fast. Sorry, I deal with everything through humor. Isn’t laughter the best medicine? Let’s hope so.

Needless to say, the combination of the ankle and being swamped after the show has left me having to stop taking yarn orders for the next week or two. I hate to have to do this but in order for me to keep my sanity, I have to be able to catch up and get everything organized before I take any more orders. I’m just glad I was able to get a bunch of work done this weekend before getting hurt. See?

I limped around all morning getting all of this out the door. I was then a very good patient and iced the ankle. Do you know how hard it is for me to sit still for 30 minutes? I don’t do sick OR hurt well at all. This had better feel better soon. I need to be able to exercise or I turn into one cranky girl. I guess I had better go elevate the foot. At least I have wireless so I can drag my computer around with me. Maybe I’m just getting too old for soccer….
