After four days of being sick and near-bedridden because of the usual health issues, I was FINALLY able to get out today.
I was able to get up, shower, get dressed, and go out to one of my favorite WiFi spots.
I realize I should be used to it by now, but it’s just such an awful feeling to be trapped indoors like I am sometimes. It’s like being an animal caught in a trap. Stuck in bed, with bones hurting anytime I try to move. Rolling over in bed was something so difficult that it occasionally required pain meds.
And sometimes the pain meds just don’t work.
But here I am now, finally able to get out again, at least for a while.
I am going to enjoy every last bit of this day.
Thank goodness for the sunshine, thank goodness for being able to get up and shower, thank goodness for these leg braces that allow me to walk around a little.
And thank goodness also for places with free WiFi and free refills. 😉

Welcome back it’s good to hear your able to get up and around 🙂
For now, at least!
It’s good to be able to drive somewhere and get out. 😮
Have some ice cream, I want ice cream today.
Or have some bacon.
But any way, have a really nice day, I am glad you are out and about.
🙂
It’s funny you should mention ice cream, I almost had some today.
There’s an ice cream shop nearby which is hideously expensive, but I almost went there and celebrated with a couple scoops of mint chocolate chip.
I LOVE mint chocolate chip.
Ice cream for celebration is always worth it… now I want one of those too
I had ice cream today muhahahaha! It was dee-licious.
See Cordless we all should be more like Muspelhem (I got to write it right this time)
Or we can ask him to buy us the ice creams for tempting us and for laughing…
🙂 fair enough (jk)
What kind?
I would’ve gotten chocolate mint today, I think.
There’s also a colorful version called “Superman” that I like.
Blue Moon is good too.
What sort of ice cream do the two of you like?
I honestly got one that I branded “that time of the month”, because it was white with a red dusting that looked like blood (and some black clumps). It was the ice cream of the day, and I have no idea what it was. Then mocha and chocolate. Mmm…
Ok i’ll have the blue moon, such a name deserves a taste
Anything involving chocolate is usually a safe bet.
Especially chocolate plus mint.
Superman and Blue Moon are good, as I mentioned earlier.
Haagan Dazs makes a Coffee ice cream that is good, if you’re into coffee.
Even orange sherbet is fun sometimes.
That description (ttom) was a little too much… but is it a bad thing it sounds like red-berries ice cream? Or am I hurting anybody’s feelings about ice cream?
Judging from the description, it sounds like it might have been Chocolate-Covered-Strawberry ice cream.
Here’s a picture:

Does that look like it?
This is Blue Moon:
hudsonvilleicecream.com/flavors/blue-moon/
It tastes sort of like a cross between raspberry and lemon.
I love it.
Hey it’s not fair, they are not saying much, too much mistery around that description.
But I like raspberry and I like lemon, I am just not sure how a middle flavor between those two will taste like. I will have to go there and get one…. one new purpose in life to sum up… nice
So this was the ice cream:
paradis-is.dk/produkter/5-vores-isvarianter/#view=productinfo&pid=307
It’s white chocolate ice cream with strawberry dusting and liquorice fudge.
It looked different in the tub.
“White chocolate ice cream with strawberry dusting and liquorice fudge.”
It all sounds good except for maybe the licorice part.
Not sure about that.
But hey, I’d try it.
But it said no alcohol in my translation… and I might try it, even after Mus description of it.
Hey Mus are you gonna teach me Danish?
Hey Cordless you can teach us German
I may become an ice-cream based polyglot
We should ALL become ice-cream based polyglots.
Just because it’s really fun to say. 🙂
As far as learning German, I recommend DuoLingo dot com.
That’s where I’ve been studying for about a year.
It’s free, and they teach a lot of languages.
I’ve dabbled in German, Italian, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Welsh, and Irish, but my favorite is definitely German.
I just love the way it sounds.
How would you say ice-cream based polyglot in German anyway? In one word
(Poliglotas en base al helado)
Lol, I guess it processed “liquorice” as “liquor”…
Moneypenny, I am sure gonna teach you Danish. It’s a very useful language spoken by practically no one, hardly even Danes anymore. I’ll start by teaching you to say “hi”.
It’s “hej”.
Very difficult.
Hej 🙂
DuoLingo teaches Danish too!
I might try that one of these days.
Maybe the next time I’m stuck indoors for awhile, that can be something fun to try.
I remember when I was about 18 or so, I went to Germany/Denmark/Norway/Sweden for a tour with an international choir.
I didn’t know any language except English, and I was kind of embarrassed about that.
I was awed and humbled by the number of people that spoke English there. People were (for the most part) very willing to help me, and they didn’t mind speaking the one language I actually understood.
It was a lot different from some of the people here in the U.S. who feel no need to learn any languages other than the one they grew up with.
So I guess that’s maybe part of the reason I want to learn German these days.
Maybe I can eventually learn Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian too.
I had a good time there; I was younger then, and my foot/ankle issues hadn’t degenerated as bad as they are now, so I was able to walk around better.
I remember I LOVED the architecture and the beautiful scenery and the ocean/seaside views… and the fjords… the mountains….
I used to have tangerine ice cream, delicious one!
Tangerine sounds delicious!!!
I’ll exchange one of mine for one of yours 🙂
I wonder why there is no such thing as grapefruit sherbet.
There’s lemon, lime, and orange…
But no grapefruit.
I love grapefruit; it would be awesome to make sherbet out of it.
I do get your point. They would even get to just make grapefruit avoiding lemon and Orange all the same because it is the perfect middle of them both. But curiously we don’t have grapefruit here, so I’ve never really taste it. (adds new item to purpose list)
When I was a child, I didn’t like it because I thought it was bitter.
Now I like it; it has nice complexity to it. There’s a tiny bitterness, but also a mix of sour and sweet. If you get the Ruby Red grapefruit, that’s the best (in my opinion) because it has the perfect mix of sweet/bitter/sour. And SO juicy. 😛
Now you are talking Mandarin to me. I am sooo ignorant about fruits. But I eat mangoes and papaya here, not much but sounds tropical.
Number three in my list: ruby red grapefruit as different fem regular one. (I had the idea they were all red) . The more you know…
🙂
I admire your courage and determination to enjoy today 🙂 Well done!
Hey, I have to take these few good days wherever I can find them. 🙂
I have to enjoy them so much that it makes up for the awful days.
Well that is an admirable attitude 🙂
Yay Cordless 😀
Yay!
I just had a sandwich and a drink; I’m considering the possibility of ice cream later on this evening.
Because good days are even better when ice cream is involved.
A few weeks from now, when I’m stuck in bed again for awhile, I can at least look back and remember the awesomeness of mint chocolate chip. 😛
This thread contains alot of ice cream 🙂
Ice cream makes a thread 39% more awesome.
***sniff sniff***
Ja, vi kan
En dag jeg kan lære norsk språk!
… Jeg kan prøve. 😉
Thank you, now i have to get italian mint ice cream next time i go out, lol
Get enough for all of us! 🙂
That’s going to be a pretty expensive walk, LOL.
Pack it in some dry ice, and maybe you could mail it….
I would, but sp recommends not to divulge your real addresses… so… yeah, that’s a pretty lousy way of avoiding to buy ice cream for everyone, but hey! it works! lol. I’d definitely get ice cream for everyone at some point if postage wasn’t that much of an issue tho, lol.
I am still expecting to get mine. Hope is the last thing to be lost, or so they say…
This is why we really need to invent Star Trek teleporters and holodecks. 😉
The only ice cream that’d survive an overseas trip is astronauts ice cream, but i’ve heard is yucky tasting. But hey! hope is the last thing you lose… so maybe you’ll get a random ice cream on the mail at one point, lol. I’d be scared as hell if i opened up the door and i look down and what do i see? RANDOM ICE CREAM.
LOL!
Better to have random ice cream than random hot dogs or random raw meat chunks. 😉
Or so I hear.
It would be more like a little lake of a sticky multy-colored liquid… the post man is gonna hate me because it is going to stain his clothes and truck and he is never going to forgive me about having to wash his hands ten times that day… and still I think it could be worth it if i can taste that ice cream…
Random ice-cream for me please
Actually today I did open my front door and found an unexpected package on the porch.
It was my composition software!
It arrived way faster than I thought it would.
🙂 more music for us then! Ok I can forget about that ice-cream for a while.
Congrats
Do enjoy it a lot!
Installing new software is one of my least favorite things to do, since I always worry something will go hideously wrong, and I’ll mess up the computer so that when I right-click, it makes nuclear bombs go off in some country I can’t pronounce.
But here’s hoping everything goes right, and then I can start writing something.
Until then, if you live in a country I can’t pronounce…. DUCK. 🙁
I’ll take the risk (here comes the question again about geting I t he car driven by Whisky)
And your computer will survive this time too.
Yes, as far as I know, we all survived Whisky’s car ride. 😮
I don’t remember much about what I did that night, but I hope I had fun.
nice to hear you do better.
Besser als letzte Woche! 😮
lol das freut mich 😛
