Today was a mixed bag
Oct. 4th, 2024 09:36 pmIt started out badly. I called home to see if Mom was feeling any better only to find out my brother was in the hospital secondary to his autoimmune issues (He's okay, probably home tomorrow). And then my legs went numb and I nearly fell exactly where I fell last time. Luckily I caught myself this time but all the muscles are sore.
Made it to my own doctor's appt for the knee. After talking with him about the physical therapy where I did it all, for an hour at a clip without symptoms yet was symptomatic upon walking across the parking lot to the clinic, he thinks (I agree) that it's much more likely stemming from my back and not from my stent which...isn't the best news. A stent can be replaced, pressure on nerves is much touchier. They weren't keen on me leaving as my blood pressure was only 104/61 and i'm like dudes, I'm fine. This is after nearly falling AND driving an hour.
From there I finally went back to Hopewell Culture National Historical Park which I haven't gone in years in spite of it being like 2 miles from where I am all the damn time. This is a mound site. It is interesting to look at but again, not striking, not really until you realize how much earth these people moved. (Also got bunnied for a story there learning they built at WWI military camp on the site and nearly destroyed it all) I wandered there for an hour.
Hit all the stores. This Big Lots still had all the big animatronics but where am I going to store that? I didn't know so I didn't buy. TJ Maxx was 100% Christmas decorations all ready with what was left of halloween heaped on one table (not on sale) Spirit Halloween did replenish their spooky dolls (they were about out when I was there last week) but then the price was more than I wanted to pay so...
I did write a thing that filled SO many of my open challenges. It's the first of the whumptober ones I wrote (I am not that moved by it this year) This isn't all that whumpy either but eh, someone's bleeding. Close enough.
Title: Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers
Summary: Angel was looking forward to his shopping trip with the visiting Fizzarolli but then his brother crashed the party, seeking a better relationship after seeing Angel fighting off the exorcist angels and realizing he’d nearly lost his chance. Poor Husk gets roped into the impending disaster which goes far worse than any of them could guess when some sinners see two celebrities on the street and dollar signs flash in their eyes.

The words were Alley, Social, Undertake, Stepstool, Ladder & Railroad for whumptober 2024’s prompt #15 childhood trauma – I did good right?, for allbingo’s prompt of Silence of the hams and for the lyrical titles prompt of Song with multiple singers on the track and I used Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers by ZZ Top
