Pain Go Away!!!

July 28, 20212 Comments

I sprained my ankle last week. I was determined to go to work and ignore that pain. I know the doctor said she should be off my feet for a week, and iced for at least 10 hours per day (because I couldn’t afford to get a cast). Family and friends told me the same thing.

I understood they care about me, but no one was going to be paying my bills. You can pray I heal and give me encouraging words, but my landlord isn’t going to care about any of those things. I took the pain pills, and got off of my feet as soon as I got home.

When I awoke the next day:

Pain : You thought you were going to get your way this time, “No Ma’am”.

Me : I haven’t let you have your way before and today isn’t any different.

Pain : Okay, let me see you stand up without your cane.

Me : It’s already 6am and I don’t have time for your pain. So, “Pain GO AWAY”!

Okay, I am an out of shape hard headed hard work woman, and I know when to stand down or sit down in this case. I called my job early to give them a heads up that I was going to be out of work for 6 days.

That first day was hard, but I wasn’t going to feel sorry for myself. I completed my blue & orange project, cleared out my email (some), and watched so many videos to help get my site working correctly. I got one part, but I AM NOT GIVING UP ON IT..

The second day, I kept on telling myself one more step, stretch for one more minute, and although that pain hasn’t gone away completely. It only comes back at the end of my work day.

That pain may have won a few days ago, but I haven’t stopped stretching or rest as much as I can:

Me : Pain you got a hold of me for a short time, but I already said it…

Pain : I am still here and I’m not going anywhere…

Me : You keep telling yourself that, because I am Not Listening to you….

The words I said were true and as I stayed home resting. I took notice of how many people knew I was hurt and how many people reached out with kind words. Not surprised there were less than a handful.

When I get to work I hear, “Oh I meant to call you, because it wasn’t like you to miss any day.” I just smiled and kept doing what I was supposed to do. Every now and then they would come over to see what happened, but had to leave quickly when someone noticed them out of their work area.

Pain can be physical or mental. I will Never let pain stop me from doing what I have to do to survive, or being a better me. I know I have to stop working paycheck to paycheck, because there is no way I can save. I want to start enjoying my life and working for a dead end job isn’t going to work.

I am also going to keep true family and friends close as I move past my here and now and speak to others as I keep it moving. I am going to end this with a question? Are you going to let go of your pain?

Ever get stuck doing the same thing over and over? Like that movie where Bill Murray started the same day over and over, I wish I could remember the title of that movie. I guess I can Google it, but my mind has moved on to why I am writing (typing).

I have been spending most of my time crocheting and enjoying my spare time and that time wasn’t wasted. Now that time has moved on, I have to get back to work. I am smiling, because today’s job is reading about crochet.

The best job you can do is work on something you have the most passion and crochet is one of mine. At one time I thought I could do a book review, because I love reading books. Then I realized I could combine both reading and crocheting. I am going to read about people who are into craft from crocheting, cross stitch, painting and the list can go on and on.

10 Inspiring Crochet Blogs With Cool Patterns

Ideas for Your Next Project

Written by Amy Solovay

Updated 05/24/19 {}

The title “10 Inspiring Crochet Blogs with Cool Patterns” says it all. If you want to learn how to crochet, learn more behind the craft, and different brands of yarn this was so Great to read each story.

I wanted to add #7 Yarnspirations, because one part talks about what yarnspirations is about how they help with ideas and there was a highlighted part where it goes in detail about the yarn.

So much information and inspiration not just to learn a new pattern, but learn about the different kinds of yarn one can use with each new project…

I give this a 10 Crochet Hook… Whereas you would give 10 stars..’

10 Crochet Hooks are way better in the crochet world….

Hello & Welcome to Krochet ~ Cafe….

My name is Lisa D. I enjoy turning yarn, thread, and words into something NeW. Whenever I have an idea and I want to turn it into reality I find a way to do just that and ‘Krochet~Cafe’ is a way for me to gather my Thoughts & Creativity to set these Dreams Free.

It’s Time to have some FuN!!

This was my website http://www.krochetcafe.com, (and yes it is still up until Sep’ 1st) but I am letting it go. I realized I was talking (typing) here on my blog (and trying to get it better) more so I am going to be me here at ‘3am Thunder of Words’ just like thunder you may Never know where it may go. At least I am hoping to get a Smile or Two…

Well I am working on a ‘yellow project,’ and like to calm down a little. I just liked the colors and then someone made fun of them, because “Why are you making the Lakers colors?” was said to me. I had to laugh, because if you know me – then you know I am NOT a Sport kind of girl.

I crochet for a lot of reasons:

I find some colors that I like –
Someone ask me to make something from their choice of colors –
Someone give me their yarn, because they have giving up on working with them –
or I am just working on leftover yarn.

Which is what I am doing right now, but its all good. I found a new pattern and I am having fun…

I am sorry if you clicked on this and hoping to find something interesting, but I am playing around my site trying to set up this menu bar. I did go to Youtube, but only got a little info. So It is a hit and miss.. Oh well, I said I wasn’t going to give up. And yes I know the site does offer help, but I am so low on $$.

That is what happens when 1 gets hurt, running from a dog, and missing work for a week. No worries… Oh well enough talk (typing) because I am NOT going to get side track..

*** This is what I was trying to add on as a second page to my blog****

Hello & Welcome to Krochet ~ Cafe….

It’s Time to have some FuN!!

*****Although I couldn’t add this on as a second page now. One day I will. Proud of myself for not throwing my computer across the room, because it wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do… Tomorrow is another day. I will come back with a clear mind and will keep trying until I get it right.*******

Wondering why I cannot click on the preview button? Going to fix a cup of tea, find an anime, and relax for the rest of the day………

That’s it IV today, Bye IV Now, LD*
