Evening Musings

I ate a veggie burger and kale salad (dressed with a vinegary hot sauce) for dinner tonight. I enjoyed that! The veggie burger had lettuce, tomato, and onion on it.

Afterwards, I ran to the grocery store for a few essential items (TP is always a good thing never to run out of). As I was energetically unloading my cart's contents onto the conveyor belt at the check-out, while reaching into my cart for the next item, my ring slipped right off my finger and fell into the cart! I was in shock ...

That has never happened before (and, thank goodness, it landed on something in the cart, so I could easily retrieve it). I knew it was getting more comfortable, but holy cow. So, I am going to have to be very cautious. In fact, I'm going to temporarily substitute a different ring for it, until I get this one resized. I don't want to risk losing it, or having it damaged from falling off.

That was something that never, EVER, occurred to me. So, I guess my fingers have lost weight since last week. They look the same, but I know the ring didn't suddenly change sizes. LOL

I've been enjoying pickled beets with lunches lately. They don't have many calories, and I drain the juice off, but it just seems to hit the spot lately. (Gotta like beets to appreciate this, of course.) Honestly, I could eat an entire jar by myself. LOL How about that? I'm talking vegetables here, not chocolate! My tastes, they are a-changin'...

My walk today didn't go so well. I pulled something behind my left knee. OUCH! It feels like a sharp spider-vein sort of pain, if you know what that is like. I think I hyper-extended that leg, pushing up hill. It will probably be a few days before I can comfortably walk again.

As it is, just around the house, I'm being careful not to pivot or turn that leg in an odd way - or to extend it all the way either. I'll see how it does in another few days. Other people get injuries from downhill skiing, off-road biking, hiking canyons ... I can't make it around the blog three days in a row, strolling, without injury! Sheesh.

Time to catch up on the happenings around Blogland today!

Good choices to all ...
