Convenient (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

When is it ever convenient to have a furnace that can’t keep up with an Indiana winter and low temps the likes of which we haven’t seen in 25 years? Uh…NEVER! It is especially inconvenient to have to miss physical therapy so I can hurry home from work to wait for the furnace repairman to show up. It will be even more inconvenient to have to get up early and out of the house so I can make up said physical therapy at 7am tomorrow so I can get to work just a few minutes late. I am happy to be home right now and writing this while I await the arrival of said furnace repairman, don’t get me wrong. I would rather have things stay blissfully the same and be able to go from work to physical therapy to writing group even if it does mean I am out of the house for 14 to 15 hours on Thursdays and eating dinner in my car as I drive.

I like things the same. I know what to expect. I know when I need to be at various places, and it means I don’t have to get up so early on a cold Friday morning. Yes, I realize I sound like a cranky old lady right now, but my fingers feel like icicles and my Achilles hurts from going without the boot for the last two days at work. Don’t even get me started on how inconvenient it has been wearing the boot on my right foot since July! Putting it on when I get out of the car and taking it off when I get in the car. It is big and awkward and oh so attractive. I’m ready to be out of it. I am so over the boot, already. Physical therapy has really been helping. I have to admit though that I am nervous that I will re-injure it, especially since I can’t figure out how I hurt it in the first place. One day it was fine and the next day it wasn’t, for no particular reason that I can think of. How inconvenient!
