Thanks Be To The Most High . . .

The folks at Blogger have finally fixed whatever bugs were messing things up. What a frustrating week it's been trying to get things up for you.
Bringing You Up To Speed
I was attempting a live post on Friday night when the Cardinals won the World Series and couldn't get anything in. So, instead I'll just tip my hat to my lovely Cards now and say well played. I couldn't help but wish as I was watching the festivites that I could pick-up KMOX in St. Louis so I could her Mike Shannon announcing or that Jack Buck was still alive to claim "Go Crazy Folks, Go Crazy!" But otherwise I'd have to say it was just about perfect.
Personal Injury
Last week while walking the dog I managed to step on a place in the side walk that was uneven and seriously sprain my left ankle. On Thursday, I noticed that while I wasn't in a lot of pain there was a clicking in my ankle. On Friday, the ankle was seriously swollen (much more so than on the previous two days) so I frantically searched all over Manhattan for an Orthopedist who specialized in feet and ankle injuries -- and trust me that wasn't easy it seems knees and shoulders are the way to go in Orthopedics -- that could also see me on Friday.
A couple of X-rays and a visit with a really good looking doctor later, I am wearing an Aircast until an MRI can be performed to determine whether or not I've torn a ligament, which may or may not lead to me having surgery. Unfortunately I think this may put a bit of a crimp in my holiday plans. Hopefully I'll know more by the end of the week. I suppose the upside will be that if I'm sitting in bed with nothing else to do, I can certainly blog more often.
Personal Catastrophy
So if all of that wasn't enough. The dog and I were woken up at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning by the sound of sirens and the smell of smoke. By the time I'd jumped out of bed, I could hear the fire department pounding up the stairs. I had to grab the dog, my purse, a sweatshirt and hobble down the two flights of stairs carrying all of the above (the dog was totally freaked out by the FDNY and wouldn't walk on his own). And it was definitely hobbling since I was wearing the Aircast.
After spending nearly an hour standing in the pouring rain and high winds the FDNY had everything under control. Turns out some clothes in the laundry-mat on the ground floor had caught fire, under still unexplained circumstances, and caused more smoke damage than anything else. The apartments were all ok and other than them busting out the skylight in my bathroom to allow the smoke to escape I suffered no ill effects. The dog, however, was and is totally freaked out by every little noise.
So obviously I've had better weeks.
Tomorrow I will try and tackles some of the things I've had backlogged to post.

sorry to hear about your accident! my husband and I caught part of the game Friday night at a restaurant, it was very exciting. and I usually sum up baseball as 3 minutes of action crammed into 3 hours, but it was a great game.
