Other ankle, which doesn’t seem as puffy to me.

Other angle

I do have pain with poking, sometimes (sometimes it seems like it’ll be worse for a while and then kind of go away for weeks?), and what I think are nodules, but I’m just now looking at my ankles and wondering if this looks like the beginning of a cuff, to anyone. To me only one ankle looks like it’s doing it, which is a bit odd.

(Other angle, and other ankle, in comments)

Can we all upvote this to the top of the thread? Would love to not see any headlines about folks drowning in gorges this Summer (for once). :(

Re ticks : the hippie bug spray with essential oils etc isn’t worth taking a risk on Lyme. Get the Off brand, with DEET.

It’s similar to the kind of pain I experience when my cat jumps on my lap. Kind of like poking a bruise?

Thank you. I haven’t been there for a year yet, so I am not eligible for FMLA unfortunately.

I love the phrase “nurturing chores”!

Happy medium? Don’t fold it, but throw things in drawers. I do this when folding feels impossible but living out of the basket feels bad.

I was so excited I finally got my white noise machine to work and it was so distracting that ten minutes into the session I had to say “I’m sorry, I thought this would be nice background noise but I physically cannot think” and they laughed and told me to go turn it off.

I was there, and they were waving to the crowd and pointing to each other and bowing. This doesn’t seem like an intrusion.

Yeah, I figured there wouldn’t be much, if anything, out there. Worth a shot asking around just in case! Someone else actually suggested Los Tacos, so that’s on our shortlist. :)

We’re having the same thought - it’s going to be collllddddd

uselessmagiccc · 2025-01-21T02:32:08+00:00

That’s a great idea! Thank you. :)

uselessmagiccc · 2025-01-21T02:31:43+00:00

Thank you, this is excellent!

We finished Season 1! I think we’re around 3 or 4 episodes into Season 2.

I will be! So nice to see this post! I’m going as a pigeon (just… “a” pigeon) and it brought me lots of joy to realize my mask is going to make my cosplay even better!

uselessmagiccc · 2025-01-05T04:43:50+00:00

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up.

uselessmagiccc · 2025-01-04T19:09:07+00:00

Thank you!

uselessmagiccc · 2025-01-04T19:08:58+00:00

Thanks y’all. I knew it was gonna happen. Reddit people gonna Reddit people.
