Not Doing Well

I'm not doing too well. I couldn't make a routine GP check up because I couldn't get out of the house. My leg is bad and I'm worried about cellulitis but how do I get to a doctor? I think I need a little bit of a shake and I'll be fine by Monday, I'm just feeling a little low.

I managed to get out of the house today. It's always easier if I can go in a car and I drove to my usual 'park and knit' spot but got grief from a strange man. I don't know how sitting with the doors and windows closed with my knitting translates to 'please pester me for my phone number for ages' but in the end I just left. I rather hoped I'd aged out of this sort of stuff, especially as I have a face like a bag of spanners and a figure like a well stuffed sack of potatoes, but apparently there are still a few moments out there. Sigh. 

There is a silver lining out there. Perhaps I should take the time to sort out the housewifery. At the moment so much hurts so it will be a process. I know it could be worse, I just wish it was better. I'll work on getting some quality sleep and take it from there. 

The only pic I have since last time is one of a selection I took. I got the car to Aldi (just about - there were tears) and took pics of frozen food for bear as part of my campaign 'please eat something different'. He had some prawns in pesto instead of the chickenless dippers which is, I think, an improvement. 

I have to drop him at a nearby dentist next week so I'm going to encourage him to please come shop with me, go wild in the frozen foods and vary his diet. 

Of course, that was followed by a dream where Aldi was taken over by aliens. It didn't make much difference in the dream except parking was harder because their spaceship was in the way. Afterwards I thought about it and didn't think so much would change. You would go in for a pint of milk and come out with a loaf of bread, some very pleasant German salami, a kit for a macrame wallhanging, a mixeervergan spaceblart and a kayak. Your items would still go through checkout at Mach 2, you would come out without the milk (again) and you would still have problems parking. The kayak is the most implausible item as there isn't much room in their centre aisle, though they did have inflatable hot tubs on their website for a while so who knows.

Writing stuff - I suppose I should share that I have a post on Hazardous To Your Sanity here. There have been some good posts on there recently. I have to confess that when it comes to writing at the moment, I'm just getting the dial up tone so this is a reworked version of an old story, but I think that it's still fun. 

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with something more cheerful. 

Hugs and good health to all.
