1. It’s Friday, it’s Friiiidaayyy.
2. Let’s see if we can kick off the weekend right.
3. True confessions time.
4. Vanilla flavored whiskey is delicious.
5. And no, I can’t believe I just wrote that sentence.
6. Boiling hot dogs feels like a crime against humanity.
7. I’m unclear on the hot dog itself.
8. But PB&J on a hot dog bun? Not bad.
9. I’d call it making do except the cost of hot dog buns…so I guess it’s more making do when you lose track and the sandwich bread’s gone bad.
10. Crackers are also good in a pinch. You need more of them but still, PB&J crackers? Tasty.
11. I take a bizarre amount of pride in my typing skills.
12. I’m starting to think I sing the lyrics to every single song wrong.
13. Except Lily Allen’s “Fuck You.” It’s an oddly upbeat little bop for the subject matter.
14. And YouTube won’t let me embed the video itself — BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA.
15. I have strange dreams when I sleep in socks.
16. Always thought this was a universal thing. I recently learned it is not.
17. Glitter makes me feel a little rage-y.
18. But the smell of Play-Doh is oddly comforting.
19. Every big cat video reminds me of our kitties.
20. Yes, that means there’s a fair chance I could die going pspspsps to the sweet big kitties.
21. Just kidding, I know better. Mostly.
22. Okay, enough true confessions.
23. At the beginning of February my wrist started hurting.
24. Things felt a lot like carpel tunnel which bummed me out but hey, at least I knew what to do.
25. I started stretches and pulled out a nighttime brace, easy peasy.
26. Except the pain didn’t improve; truth be told, it started to get worse.
27. Then my arm started hurting in this really weird way.
28. You know how your muscles ache after an arm workout?
29. It was kinda like that. Except without the arm workout.
30. BrightSide very helpfully suggested I might have slept on it wrong — insert long side eye here.
31. Which brings me to my ortho appointment this week.
32. The guy who helps my back is an all around bone guru which is how I found myself describing this strange combination of symptoms to him.
33. He hmmm-ed thoughtfully, examined my arm, then announced to my utter shock that a wrist bone was out of place.
34. I’m sorry, WHAT?
35. Blah blah, this bone right here, blah blah blah, perilunate dislocation, it’s alright, I can reset this.
36. Cue some sharp manipulations that felt less than good.
37. To add insult to injury (snort) he had to do it several times because the bone popped into place then popped right back out.
38. I mean COME ON.
39. So here we are now, bones securely in place. One would hope.
40. We’re rolling into the weekend off some megadoses of ibuprofen. Let’s all get some rest, shall we? Next week brings another round of adventures.
Oh take care Laura. And perhaps wear a bandage to keep the bone in place?
Loved your 40. Have a great weekend my friend

Hmmm. I love an egg sandwich & I love mustard, just never thought to combine the two. Maybe we’ll give that a try!

I fry an omelet slap it between two pieces of toast and as much mustard as you desire. So good!!!

A college friend once did that to his arm by reaching for a tv remote control. Hope the pain goes really quickly.

Thank you for sharing this! My nightstand drawer sticks. I wonder if I could have done it trying to close that…it’s a mystery.

I’m with you. I can’t believe you wrote sentence 4 either 😉

Right? Because I’m not really a whiskey girl. And vanilla whiskey sounded like it would be EXTRA awful. A very big surprise for me.

Right to be sceptical. I am a whisky (and whiskey) drinker and it sounds awful: like Dr Peppers without the bubbles.

My husband loves a (very strong) whiskey and coke. He has zero interest in trying this concoction. He hasn’t actually called it blasphemy but the look on his face…

Quite right too. All I ever put in whisky is water.

I hope that dislocated bone has learned its lesson. As to Lily Allen’s song, I can think of a few people I’d like to dedicate that to. Pretty sure you could guess who.

Indeed I can. It’s getting a bit of playtime in our house right now…

I had the wrist/arm thing going on for a while, it was overuse and repetitive motion at play. p.s. I have a glitter love and clear early on that not everyone does. )

People either love glitter or they REALLY don’t like it. I’ve yet to meet anyone ambivalent. 🤣

Dislocated bone? Any idea how that happened? Maybe you did sleep on it wrong…sorry. I hope it stays in place.

I have no idea!! The dr kept asking & all I could say was no clue, but not surprising. Here’s to careful sleeping & a steady skeleton.
