Work. More specifically, busywork committee meeting when I have actual work to get done. The whole committee is busywork.

Updating my new annual mileage with my insurance company reduced my rate, but moving from the middle of nowhere to a town increased it overall by $18.42.

Remember my broken foot that took forever to heal?
Yeah.
I dropped a log on my other foot today. Now it won’t bend and I can’t feel my toes and the top of it is super swollen. It’s easily 2x the usual size.
It feels more bruised than broken. Ice and elevation. But jesus fucking christ. What is with my feet?

You need better shoes. Preferably with steel toes.

I need to not be losing feeling in my feet. I’m not particularly accident prone, but when my brain doesn’t know where my feet are my feet get hurt. The same happens with my hands. I bang them against door frames and catch them on furniture because I don’t realize they’re sticking out.
This isn’t a situation that’s going to improve and there is no protocol I’ve found that will help.

For 3 weeks I’ve lived without a mattress and it has sucked. Ikea promised to bring me a mattress by 9 pm today. They have not. Their customer service line is closed for the day. My backup plans were to sleep at the old house or the airbnb, but my foot is too swollen to get into a shoe so I can’t. If ikea doesnt show up offensively late I’m not sure what to do, as I’ve already taken apart my non mattress sleeping situation. And I want specific snacks that don’t exist. These are my complaints.

Further update: while i was in the bath the kids set up a mattress (that i had thought was inaccessible) in the guest room. Then little dude went to town adding furniture and features. Then he sent me this text:
Your Hotel Sweet is prepared, we included multiple items that we hope you will find useful for the duration of your stay here at creepy musty basement hotel. These items include 3 blankets on a mattress that has 2 pillows and 2 backup pillows should our other guest “Sprocket” lie on one, a caretaker/kitten/demon to take care of your needs, specifically being woken up in the morning, and heated portable fuzzball, a bedside table that has a dim light because the room ceiling light, light switch is outside the room, a reverse bell to remove the caretaker/kitten/demon (also known as the laser pointer), and a Samsung charger, there are other items in the sweet such as a doormat, a decoy dog to increase your comfort, a laundry basket because it was already there, a mirror, a small bed for the caretaker/kitten/demon, and lastly a small cage for use when you tire of the caretaker/kitten/demon. I hope you enjoy your stay here at Creepy Musty Basement Hotel’s one and only Hotel Sweet. Have a nice sleep.
I laughed so hard. I’m so lucky. Then I slept like the dead in the quiet basement room, sleeping on a mattress for the first time in three weeks.
This is not a complaint. I’m not complaining at all.

Woke up and hands don’t really work, or much else of my joints. Trying to figure out why this keeps happening on Tuesdays. Hard to focus with the pain and fatigue. Luckily WFH also includes flex time so I’m hoping I improve as the day goes on.

Your kid should write up the description for your AirBNB when that becomes a thing again. That was excellent.
