When It Blows Up Too Much!

There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher - Victor Hugo
No Wobbly Work Wheel 🎑 today.
Due to the Baker's Cyst on the back of the leg making my knee grow 3 times the size!
Brew and hug time.
My knee has gone down a little bit over night.
Still painful to walk...
I had to let my employers know I wasn't coming to work today!
Had Breakfast.
Dressed.
Made a slow way down the stairs.
One son fetched the newspaper for me.
"Good Lad"
Gave everyone their wet sloppy πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹ before everyone left.
I hopped to the kitchen to make a much needed coffee...
&
Quick look in the newspaper.

Leg raised up on the sofa.
Caught up with the last week's newspapers.
There was a good interview with OMD in Saturday's I newspaper.
I looked through Netflix.
I like anything to do with the Wild West.
There was a series called Godless.
I had a small lunch.
More Godless to watch...
Tea at 3
I tried switching from a hot pack to a cold pack to put on my rather large knee.
The cold was making it worst.
Kids came back from school.
Told me all about their day.
One button needed to be put back on the blazer.
I managed to put the pie in the oven.
No pizza or Stir Fry today.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ when he got back.
Pie was ready!
Hubby had to do my other job as I was not in no fit state to do it.
I got out my sewing basket to sew on the button back on the blazer.
I will have to wear a mask at my second job from next month.
More masks to make....
I have the time next week to make more as it's half term \o/
I have made some already.....
Gives me an excuse to look for more fabric ;P
Hubby comes back from my job, looking pleased with himself.
We caught up with Judge Rinder..
With some sleep tea.
(No doggy tonight due to the swelling of the knee!)
Then off to a warm bed and to keep the leg raised up ↗↗↗

I finished in one piece...just about!
Back home.
Having an argument over text with my younger brother over stripping my dad's house after only a week after my dad's death!
WHAT'S THE RUSH!!! 
Got changed.
Now onto The Happy Place Of Work.
On the way out,
Someone was coming through the gate in a van while I walking through.
I stopped there,  and remained motionless.
The van had to stop.

 It is still light↓
  Now for the meat free tea↓
Now to burn it off by working and singing↓
