It’s TAMALE day!!
So, today I learned how to make tamale’s…I knew they were labor intensive, but my gawd, i didn’t know they were THAT labor intensive!! One of the girls at my office had the tamale party (all girls only), we got together at 11AM and we were wrapping tamale’s until at least 3:30…we made beef tamales, turkey tamales and chile relleno tamales - in all - 200!! so we’ll have some good eatin tomorrow and for the holidays - cuz luckily, you can freeze tamales!!Â
not like I could eat all 15 of them in one sitting.. whew…
Anyways, we went out for sushi last night and I did what i said i was going to do and stuck to my “12 step sake program” which is 1) drink 1 sake 2) drink a 2nd sake 3) no more sake…
but our wonderful barkeep kept filling it up with nice HOT sake and i ended up having about 2.5 before i said - no more… so to me, i made a good leap on my 12 step program. haha
really, i like me alcohol, but sake has kindof taken me by storm and i’ve already noticed the program - so hey, at least i see it, i admit it.. now to sticking to my 12 step program and not having anymore sake binges..i mean holyhell, the last binge - i couldn’t leave the bar “without” my sake, i’d be heartbroken - or so i remember saying.. and then it was in-n-out burgers and a sweet hangover after that..so no more…only the 12+? step program for me! haha
my bruises are starting to go away pretty good now… my left hand is practically healed, my left arm still hurts some but not as bad.. the only bad “on the outside” bruise is finally purple and going away.. but i’m still pretty concerned bout my upper chest area..i’m taking naproxen (over the counter) for it as an anti-inflammatory and most of the pain seems to be going away except for this pain right smack under my boob - no really, it’s not “the boob”, it’s under the boob and around the armpit area…so, as a C/D cup, i wonder if landing on my boob could have somehow bruised or fractured a rib or what not? of course, I’ll be looking up the info myself but i find it a bit difficult to think that breast muscle could do such a thing…but when i probe around some (stop it you pervs!! ),it hurts the most underneath the breast tissue….ahh, i think i’ll give it another week before i go in for an xray - but it seems like there might be a bigger problem since it’s really hard to get into bed (ie: put weight on the arm/side) and it’s difficult to open/reopen/close/open etc etc the car door.. after a while, it gets to be an enormous pita because it builds to a point it’s constant…but anyways, if i keep dwelling on the thing, i’ll go back into hypocondriac mode and that’s not something i want…so, till tomorrow, we’ll see how i’m doing then.
tomorrow, i’m home all day esp since i was gone all day today - during the weekends that i’m home and not traveling, i have to stay home and get my home time and my kitty time in.. and dh time, if he’s home too.
