poor clothing choices, and a list of how my ankle isn't back to normal yet.

[aslant]

i just waited on the elevated platform for the commuter rail
for fifteen minutes in the wind, wearing a skirt, in zero degree
weather. i am so dumb, i left the house with neither legwarmers nor
a real scarf. (i had to use an old raggy short scarf from the
trunk.) i was standing there, going up and down on my toes to
keep my blood moving, but when my calves touched each other,
they were completely numb. it was so painful i almost cried.

so i forfeited my $2 garage parking spot and came home for better
clothing. i can't not wear the skirt, because i only have this
one suit and i have an interview at 1pm today. but at least now
i have wool socks and legwarmers on.

my legs hurt. but i think the circulation is coming back.

.

things that are still not entirely normal about my ankle:

- standing on one leg in the shower to shave is tricky
- going down stairs, i hop a little on the bad leg
- there is still a hitch in my gait when i walk
- fibrous polyps around the joint capsule
- my calf is very weak
- my balance is not very good when i'm barefoot
- i'm not strong enough to wear heels yet

[ oh, love, i'm so sorry. i wish i could have shown up bearing scarves and leg warmers and hot chocolate.

as ever, we inhabit polar opposite weather conditions: it is almost 1am, and hot, and vile, and thank the sweet baby jesus for air conditioning. ]

xo.
