Saturday afternoon.

 My legs have been bothering me at night after work. Last night lying in bed I swore I would get some compression socks.  I found some cute assorted pink ones with good reviews so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.  It's not the foot it's the calf.  Foot is fine.  

They come tomorrow so I can wear them Monday.  I'll keep you posted, if I like them I will put up a link.  

I have some around here somewhere I need to dig those up. 

[later]  Wore them all morning with my cargo shorts I was a sight.  But my legs feel better. 

My aunt and uncle came over and we ran errands, got the key copied, went to the bank who suddenly decided they would take the check after all.  That's a big load off.  

We went to the thrift shop but nothing really grabbed me except a cute denim jacket.  They went back to the hotel to take a nap. 

I got a cute Halloween door wrap I like a lot.  I will try to get a photo of me with it. 

Cats are good Biscuit gave me some loving when I got home and laid down for a bit.  

I saw a strange brown and white tabby going in my backyard but he didn't go in the house (75% sure I saw nuggets).  

That's it for now.

Why keep buying stuff like compression socks when you already have some?

Heather Knits said...

1. Current socks are old and stretched out. Better than nothing,though.
2. Current socks are ugly plain black.

The new socks were only $13. I could do that even before I got my money.

So why did the bank take the check this time

Heather Knits said...

Because Edgar did it and not the manager?

Because God thought I could use $500?

Probably both.

You should get these Halloween compression socks

I'm not meaning to be snarky here - trying to understand . Why does God care so much that you get the $500 that he intervenes, and yet does not answer the prayers of a mother of a terminally sick child, of a 7 year old child who is being raped on a regular basis or someone in an area with no food or water or ability to travel out of that area due to political affairs which they had no control over?

I'm seriously curious how you fit this all together.

Well, I'm no theologist but ALL things can work for good in the long run. Because my mother harmed my brain drinking while pregnant, thousands have been reached with the Gospel (dead serious). But struggling in class and battling my illness (which comes with 1/3 of those with Fetal Alcohol) I couldn't see that. Sometimes we get to see in the long run how things work for good, sometimes we don't.

Also sometimes we have what I call the "earthquake victim" thing where some people are basically meant to be victims so others have a chance to help (or not). Like with the person who can't travel, Doctors Without Borders moving in to help. The rape victim, someone knows - are they stepping up to help or turning a blinded eye?

A good example for that would be when my AC went out. I didn't know what was wrong. The technician could have charged me anything and told me anything because I'm ignorant, but instead he chose to charge me a fair rate and be honest. But I was at his mercy.

Or when Ron died and people knew I was in trouble. Were they going to help or walk away like the other vendor did? As it turns out many, many, people chose to help while people claiming to be Christians turned their back on the widow.

For the mother of the child sometimes death is a blessing. It was for Ron. When we suffer terribly - and I think God allows this for the FAMILY MEMBER so we will LET THEM GO. We want their pain to end, at the end. We release them. Where we wouldn't if they just dropped dead one day. That is my theory.

I hope this helps.

People tend to seek God during hardship and curse him when they don't need him. He said in his word that his ways are not our ways.

I checked out the compression socks. Those aren't it for me but I'm open to the idea and will do some more looking for "cute" compression stuff.

Maybe you need potassium? All the summer heat and sweating. We take potassium for leg cramps and eat Bananas.

Heather Knits said...

The pain reminded me of the leg pain I had after the half marathon. It wasn't cramps per se more a shin splint kind of feeling.

I found a six pack of purple compression socks I really did not need, probably, but I wanted so I got them. So the 4 pack of pink and the 6 pack of (mostly) purple I should be good for a while.

Are you walking more with your new job responsibilities?

Heather Knits said...

Yes, quite a bit. So I think I just need to adjust.

But 10 pair compression socks ought to help a lot. A few years ago all they had were ugly black or ugly white but now they have lovely colors that will actually be fun to wear.
