Handicapped Parking

I'm actually having a better week-end than expected.
My idea of good is forced rest...


My knee got smashed pretty bad on cement this week, n I showed everyone with the questioning expression why I was limping... looks pretty bad! So the boss took pity on me n gave me Sat n Sun off. I was so surprized! They do need me to cover a co-worker's vaca next week, n hours will be long.
...
I just hope I didn't do any permanent damage. Only time will tell. I'm trying not to run up doc bills if I don't have to - no insurance. I know about ice, heat, elevation, n compression treatment, hope it does the trick. I can stand, walk, n bend it, even have made several trips up n down the stairs (carefully of course) with groceries. So I'm certainly badly bruised, swollen, n scraped, but the joint is still functioning. The injury is slowing me way down, which I need, I guess, but just don't like. The knee is painful when moved some ways or touches things too.
...
It's a pretty cool day, overcast n windy, in the low 60's (F), n wearing pants is a challenge with the knee discomfort, but needed.

Ernesto is barreling through the East-coast states south of my area wreaking havoc with water levels in North Carolina, Virginia, n DC today. They've had some pretty dramatic flooding rains there.
...
We expect the rain to arrive after nightfall n throughout Sunday here. I'm grateful the storm's been down-graded to a tropical depression, not expected to cause damage in our area as a hurricane would.
...
Also Hurricane John on the West coast is leveling parts of Baja California in Mexico . I wish the residents of the California USA's coastline minimal damages from that storm this upcomimg week! I have old, childhood friends in the San Diego area right near the beach-
...
So most of the errands are done for the week, n today I'm loafing around with the leg elevated. Soaks are next, maybe I'll get chicken soup stewing soon, now that I have time for it, n not good BBQ weather.
...
King Richard's Faire outdoors in Carver begins this week-end. Those folks are gonna get soaked tomorrow! Also, I'd be a bit paraniod of the Triple-E mosquito threat were I to go there. A nine-year-old boy in next-door-town Middleboro died from the deadly disease this week. It's a scary situation, n I wonder how it'll affect Faire-goer traffic there this fall.
Cranberry workers will be taking a risk of the disease also.

Well, back to watching old movies from the collection.
(on Jurassic Park III now- love Spielberg films)
Hope everyone is enjoying some down-time,
... n the storms are kind to you!
