The Diary Game // 18th February 2024 // A Sunday Unforgetable

Sundays are always lazy, but this Sunday was different. I had a couple of important jobs to finish, but I was unable to walk at my normal pace. I hope some of you read my last diary post, which I posted six days ago. As I mentioned I had a garden accident and seriously injured my foot and thumb.

I had visited my GP, and he had suggested surgery on the 16th, but I wanted to avoid it until I felt it was a must.

You can see my foot is better as there is not much swelling compared to what it was until 2-3 days ago.

Otherwise, this Sunday was different in the sense that I had booked a trip to the War Memorial seven weeks ago, but my foot did not permit me, so I missed it. Besides, it was my turn of curation as a team member of Team-2, starting at 9.40 am, so that trip was almost impossible as I was booked in the 2 pm slot, and it took me 5–6 hours for curation, but no complaints.

I woke up at 6.45 as usual and came out to my front yard as I wanted to see if I could walk normally, as the swelling has reduced considerably and the pain has also subsided to a great extent. I walked for about 10 minutes around the plants and on the grass.

Then I came to the bathroom and had a haircut, as I had been feeling uncomfortable with my hair for the last couple of days, especially as I had been in bed in a half-lying position.

You know I haven't missed a single day with my offline or online work, even if it was not as easy as it seemed.

Once I finished my haircut and other routines in the bathroom, then I finished my breakfast. My breakfast was simple, two pieces of Turkish bread with spread and avocado and a glass of orange juice.

I came out of my house because I wanted to walk for a few more minutes to give my injury another try. I wanted to see how much pain I felt or how difficult it was to walk. I am glad to say that I was feeling much better.

I walked up to St. Peter and Paul Church, which is close to our house, but I came back early, and then I tried my exercise bike and started the curation work.

At about 1.30, I felt like eating something, so I had a bowl of baby cucumber and sweet tomatoes for my lunch.

After finishing this, I took a rest for about 30 minutes, as I wanted to rest my foot. Incidentally, I did all this in my bedroom and not in my study at my workstation. I missed a couple of documents but it was okay as this was a Sunday so nothing official.

At about 3.45 in the afternoon, I had finished my curation work, so I came out and sat in the sitting room and tried to watch the TV. I felt like having a nap. Maybe it's a side effect of the medicines I am taking as prescribed by my doctor.

I wanted to go to the mall, but my wife forbade me, as she said she would do the grocery shopping for the week besides other items.

Later, I spent a few hours sitting on my bed, Steeming, and then I did my weekly post of Pwer-Up with the Hindwhale community. I powered up 125 Steem this week, and now I have well over 17000 Steem in my account, bringing me closer to my next dolphin status.

That was all for the day, as I wanted to go to sleep early as Monday is my double working day. My offline official work and moderation for this community.

Have a nice Time
