It’s getting more challenging to pick something to wear. The weather is mild enough that chunky knits and multiple layers are out, but not mild enough for actual spring/summer clothes. It’s APRIL, so warm autumnal colors feel off, but…my springy colored things (do I HAVE springy colored things??) will leave me too un-cozily cool.

Brown plaid shirt with brown cardigan. Not groundbreaking but fine.

I just ate a crumbly fig newton and you can’t tell at all that I have crumbs on me – the sweater is already crumb-speckled.

Sigh.

My new accessory is the wrist brace thingie for the paw I hurt in California. That was like 5 weeks ago. I thought it would gradually get better…and instead it’s gotten gradually worse. It’s not BROKEN, I don’t even think it’s SPRAINED. I think it’s just…compromised. Anything twisty, lifty or grabby causes anything from distracting discomfort to sharp acute pain. So.

I feel like the doctor will just say “stay off it,” or MAYBE do an x-ray, in which case there will either be nothing there and he’ll say “stay off it,” or MAYBE there’s a hairline fracture (I kinda doubt that) and he’ll say “wear a brace.” Which I am. And what a RELIEF the brace is! I just got it Saturday and it’s been LOVELY. The second I put it on I was like AHHH Now That’s a Good Thing.

So I’ll sport this for a week and see if it actually improves anything. I do a lot of twisty, grabby, lifty things at work, so hopefully this will help.
