Knee news and air dance

Had to do some refresher reading on knee structure but figured out what the problem is. Not one but two partially torn ligaments. LCL and PCL. Not good but happy they're only partially torn. Tried a soft knee brace but it didn't do much good. So went old school and started wrapping it with an ace wrap. That's doing the trick, compressing the ligaments and giving them a chance to reattach. A lot less pain. When not walking around, wrapping it with a heat wrap to increase circulation. I've had lots of torn ligaments and tendons in my life and rarely did much about it. In this case it was getting worse and had potential to become disabling. Had to do something.

Daughter loved the air dance performance last night. It was very artfully done. True to form, she started making friends as soon as she walked in the building. Met another girl around her age there. They sat on the floor front and center. I really think the people around them enjoyed the show more for the enthused reactions from those two.

Before the show, during intermission and after the show, she had a blast feeding the two donkeys which hung their heads over the back fence of the parking lot. We went back twice today so she could visit the donkeys again.

Recent temps have been rather cool. Barely rose above 50 today. Forecast says it could go down to frost level tonight. Hoping all the seedlings growing survive. I think most of the tomato plants have just died off. Glad I started more seeds a few weeks ago. Now have about 30 seedlings growing. Should be a good size to transplant out by the time the weather is more hospitable for tomatoes.

With present finances, I have a budget of about $10 a day to live on for the next two weeks. However, I'm overdrawn at the bank and running the risk of the check for the gas bill being returned. Don't care for the idea of gas being turned off. And the longer I'm overdrawn, the more expensive it becomes. Still hoping to pick up a few hours with local agency. It will mean going with very little sleep for a day or two but just have to suck it up.

For tonight, want to get to bed fairly early. Just in case.
