rowangolightlyThe foot is still quite painful but then, bone bruises last a freakin' long time. It IS a lot better; Star's Reiki helped a lot.
The hand is a concern, too, as the bunch of scar tissue on the heel of my right hand keeps me from using it to apply pressure to anything; it's a sharp pain whenever I do. Not sure what to do about that.
I am going to order a pair of summer shoes that hopefully will not rub or constrain the top of my right foot, without also looking like I'm wearing an old lady shoe.
And I'm fighting the baby slugs for my strawberries. That 'bowl of beer' thing does NOT work at all.
Crickets in the dating department. The mid-30's doctor just disappeared; oh well, I hadn't counted on that much either. And if David lived closer, I have no doubt we'd be dating more but he's busy, I'm busy and he lives 2 hours away. I'm not too hopeful on that one, nice as he is.
And work...lots of work.

I really hate slugs.

"Deadline" is an effective poison but only if there are no slugs already inside the ring of poison. Seriously, pricey, but good. I have had leaves and such blow over it making a natural bridge - the slugs will find it!
Keep your Strawberry plants from drooping to the ground. Slugs will use ANY access!
There innovative new options for growing strawberries OUTSIDE if your garden, hanging, i think, and that makes it much harder for the slugs to get them.
Just ideas. Even tho these are costly ideas, they can also get the old wheels turning, right? Straberries are worth the effort. lol
I have fought this battle, as you may have deduced. I actually have a file called "Growing Strawberries" on my desktop! I can't share the images here (there are only three) but i will go post them on my journal for you.

Date: 2015-06-03 10:53 pm (UTC)When we were prepping for the Spring Kansas City Women's concert at the end of April, I was half way up a ladder helping put the bulbs into the light fixtures. On descending the ladder, with a light bulb in each hand, I somehow managed to hook my right foot around the leg of another ladder right there, and fell flat onto my butt, with all my weight on my food as I fell. One of the light bulbs broke and a piece of glass went into the heel of my right hand, which of course bled like a stuck pig.
The other gal grabbed my hand, and helped me to stand up, keeping the dripping blood from getting on me or the stage, well, not much anyway. The hand was more dramatic but I instantly knew that the foot was the worse injury.
They got ice for me and sat me down. It swelled up like a tick and I sat for most of the tech rehearsal and then the next night for the dress rehearsal but I stood up for both concerts.
It's a month later now and the foot it still problematic, although a lot better. The hand has a knot of scar tissue that keeps me from putting pressure on the palm of my right hand. Star did some Reiki on it and the hand last week and that helped. But I'm impatient with being injured.
Chip...yeah, he just disappeared and I have no idea why. It's a mystery. I get lonely and it sucks. But I try to keep hope up that somebody is going to want me someday.
