Right after I told my friend, “Watch out for that ice,” I slipped on it and crashed landed. One leg went one way, the other leg went the opposite way, and my ankle turned on some third, unfortunate axis.
Though I heard a loud pop, nothing is broken. I have a “tendon pull” or something to that effect. I’m in this gimpy shit called an “Aircast”. I can’t tell if it’s “Aircast” or “AirCast”, because the logo is in all capital letters.
It might have been the first time in my life I’ve felt really old.
I stopped by the supermarket to get our usual weekly 55 pound bag of dog food, when I passed the chickens section. The score of the evening was a ready made roasted chicken, which had been labeled Beef Tenderloin. It was priced US$1.51.


I’ve found motivation to finally start drinking more water again. I used to drink a few gallons a day, and then found sugar free Fresca and that era was over.
These canisters of Crystal Light imitations are $1.34 at Wal-Mart Food Stores. There are six cuppies in a canister, and each makes 2 quarts, which is 2/3 an Ozarka bottle.
The only question will be whether or not it gives me the red mouth corner marks, like when we drank Kool-Aid as six year olds. That will be the fatal flaw, and a total possibility as this stuff has stained my countertops before.
