- Whoops! I missed my eighth blogiversary at the end of November. Oh well. 🙂
- I spent a bit of my workday Thursday at urgent care – I’ve had a red, painful, hot, swollen spot on top of my foot since Saturday and I have no idea what it’s from. Doesn’t look like a bite. I haven’t stubbed my toes or dropped anything on my foot, plus there’s no bruising. After xrays and blood tests, a broken bone, gout, and cellulitis were eliminated. Apparently it doesn’t look like rheumatoid or osteoarthritis. The doctor decided maybe it was a low-grade infection and sent me home with antibiotics. Here’s hoping…

Oh, and I’m ‘as British as a Dalek serving afternoon tea. Lol
Chris- That’s weird about your foot. I hope it goes away. (Not your foot…)
Apparently I’m as British as Stephen Fry walking a Corgi.

Huh:
As British as a Dalek serving afternoon tea
Well look at that, I do like my tea
A recent post from blodeuedd..Review: Flying Blind – Deborah Cooke
I hope you’re on the road to recovery soon as that sounds both annoying and painful. And Happy Belated Blogiversary! I too forgot mine until the last minute and am hoping to throw some sort of celebration together after the first of the year to make amends.
Take care of yourself and have a great weekend!

My birthday word was brainiac. While I wouldn’t say it is popular now, it is definitely still in use.
Hope your foot is starting to feel better!

Hope all turns out well with your foot infection. Glad you went to see a doctor about it. Also, Happy Eighth Blogervesary!!
Happy belated Blogiversay! 8 years…wow! Congrats!! And here’s hoping the antibiotics cure the red ouchy spot on your foot.

Happy belated blogiversary! Wow, 8 years??? You’re a pioneer 🙂 And get well soon
Hope the antibiotics clear it up fast. I am “probably American”, too, although I drink o.j. at 7am in the airport; I think I am not nearly polite enough to be British.
A recent post from kmkat..Humbuggery not allowed. Apathy and laziness, yes. But no humbuggery.
1. Foot, be okay! Heal, heel, recover, toe.
2. Blog on, sister, blog on. Happy blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary! And I hope your foot is on the mend soon!
I see your salted caramel and coconut brownies and raise you with a gluten free brownie that is to die for!

I’m not sure if the Healtheries mix is available in the US, but I’m guessing you might have the equivalent? I add 1/2 cup each of chopped dried apricots and chopped walnuts to the mix and it’s YUM!
And I got: Probably American… 0_0
Does Santa know about the furry rattly mouse?

Hope your foot is ok now.
I do wish there had been more Firefly!
