    Besides Delta Airlines... my left knee. I did something to it yesterday when I was painting (probably all the up and down on the ladder). At the end of the day - and still this morning - it felt/feels tight and painful when fully extended. 😕
    That sucks. Hopefully you get a chance to elevate & ice it when you get where you’re going
    Oh I don't fly until Wednesday. I'm p*ssed at Delta because "due to circumstances beyond their control," they've moved me from my first class aisle seat to a bulkhead. The rep I talked to said she couldn't tell - the move could be for an air marshal or someone with a comfort animal. STILL - it has been my seat for 10 days - and why do I have to be the one to move? (Poor me rant over now)

    So I have today - while things are being demo'd at my house - to elevate and ice.

    I’ve asked questions to several people at work and people seem to be allergic to giving me a straight/simple answer

    Amen to that! Also, my husband can't find his birth certificate. We've only lived together 4 years so that's 44 he could have misplaced it, yet because I'm the organized one of the bunch I MUST have lost it :D

    At my place it goes instantly to blame-avoidance:
    "Can you tell me the process involved with this?"
    "I didn't do it."
    "Okay, but I need to know what the process is."
    "Yeah, definitely not me."
    "The normal process. Can you tell me what it is?"

    That is more than irksome!! I guess that’s your cue to do less work.

    I am currently annoyed that something clearly happened to my left arm to make it hurt painfully when moving/bending it in specific directions, but I couldn't tell you what! It feels almost like I strained something, but I, for the life of me, have no idea what!

    Silver lining is that so far, no headache/migraine today. I still want Diet Mt. Dew, but it's not as bad as it was the last two days. I just gotta tell myself that I got this. I can dooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiit.

    Trying to find accurate information about local hiking trails.

    Is the entrance to the park or trail head clearly marked?

    Am I in danger of accidentally trespassing on private property?

    Is hunting allowed there?

    How likely am I to get shot?

    Is there parking readily available?

    Is the trail well blazed?

    Are there toilets?

    Is it accessible and safe in winter?

    Will my cell phone work there?

    Is it an out and back or is it a loop?

    These seem like basic questions and yet the answers are hard to find. I have downloaded several apps and gone to several websites and ugh

    Getting woken up rudely (not once, but twice)from a pretty amazing nap. What kind of person wakes up another to ask if they can eat candy or get their TV changed to watch monster trucks?


    Oh. That would be my kids 🤨😂

    I've had good luck with AllTrails. The user reviews tend to be pretty helpful, even for some obscure trails.

    Yes, AllTrails is how I found out that if I followed the Google directions to a particular trail I’d wind up trespassing on prison property

    eta: The main reason I know that all trails and similar apps aren’t reliable is because I am familiar with several trails near me and the app does not provide the pertinent information

    update all trails - maybe you can make a career out of posting on all trials

    That my boss does not push for docs by email which makes more work for me when the client says they'll pick them up.

    I'm in a small, 5 person office and we basically just yell back and forth :)

    Definitely still use the fax for some people.

    It's just sooooooooooooo much easier and faster to use docusign instead of having me staple and red x where to sign and stamp and stuff in an envelope and MANUALLY WRITE THINGS ON THE ENVELOPE! :)

    😂 You would like my office. It’s usually just me and my boss and sometimes one other person

    I work in a high-security environment (gov't) and frequently have to send correspondence to places that will only accept it by fax. Fine by me since it's way more secure than email unless we're using some kind of encryption. Federal gov't will only accept (and reply) correspondence by snail mail. I get my stuff from them in this weird double envelope system, I guess so the mail clerk doesn't know who's sending me documents?

    I seriously hate email. We can't request or send read receipts so I'm always emailing into a void. And when I don't get a reply I never know if my email was ever received, or they're ignoring me, or they replied and my server snagged it because it didn't like the attachment.. aargghhhh.

    Yesterday the young lady working at Tim Hortons told me that their jelly donuts had been discontinued and that no one really sells them anymore. I felt like an old fogey looking for her licorice whips.

    Anyway I went across the street and bought them at Wegmans

    I don't know if I was right or wrong but I was still irked :)

    I went out for my evening walk last night. It was a good song and I was walking kind of in the middle of the street because there was no traffic (I was still on my street) and it's easier and safer in case I pass someone walking a dog and have to jump off the curb and back on again to pass.

    This guy comes up to me holding out a flower he'd picked along with a bunch of other ones (I'm sure he was just trying to be nice) but THE SONG WAS GOOD and I wasn't going to stop so I said I was allergic without slowing down. He keeps up with me and practically shoves it in my face and I yelled so hard at him "I'M ALLERGIC!!!!!!" and it kinda made him go "whoa" or whatever.

    I AM allergic but that's not the point.

    Anyway, when someone says they're allergic to something, you don't shove the item in their face.

    Also it is completely appropriate to be hostile to strange men who approach you at night in the middle of the street. This is not up for debate
