Daily routine with sprained foot on OJI
Here is my god-awful daily routine:
0600 alarm goes off. Stare with dread and sleep heavy arms at crutches.
0700 Out the door and hobble downstairs for a 100 mile drive (no morning tea anymore because I can't carry it down the stairs).
0835ish Tell everyone, once again, no I do not need help onto the bus, thank you.
0840ish. Hobble miserably what is really probably only 1/4 of a mile but feels like four times that to the Ops office. Outside. In the awful Florida humidity.
0900-1730 - Absolutely nothing. A handful of radio calls and some much put-off and dreaded trips to the ladies room which is down a hall out a door and down another hall away. Pretend to ignore scornful looks, pointed cold shoulder, attempted bullying, and endure endless inquiries about my damn foot. Every day.
1730 - Repeat hobble back to shuttle. Again telling people, no, really, I can get on the damn bus on my own. And off it, too.
1740ish - 100 mile drive home
1920ish - Stop at 7/11 for about $25 of gas (every day)
1930ish - Finally arrive home. Hobble UP the stairs (it's the worst).
1934ish - Hobble back down the stairs to take Regan out. Hobble back up the stairs again. My shoulders and arms and hands hurt so bad....
1950ish Hate everything.

0600 Alarm goes off. Yesterday's aching has sunk in and spread overnight. Look with dread at crutches...
