Hello, Lymphies!

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit down and write a good post for you guys. I haven’t had consistent internet access in my apartment for, oh, about a month and a half, and it has finally been fixed. Hardly an excuse, I know, but now that I have the internet I plan on being more present on the site. Pinky promise.

The lack of internet hasn’t been the only thing keeping me from the site, however, because this girl got a job last week! Yup, I’m officially employed. I work at a quirky pie shop in Baltimore and it’s been really great so far. The people I work with are fantastic, and the atmosphere is laid back and a lot of fun. Plus – helloooo – I get to make pies all day! It’s pretty much the best thing ever.

The only bad thing is that I’m constantly on my feet, which means by the end of the day my leg is noticeably more swollen. I try to take breaks when I can to rest my leg, but usually it’s too busy at the shop for me to do that. I’m not sure what to do about it – I left all of my daytime compression garments in Vermont. I suppose I’ll have to get myself fitted for a new stocking, and wear that to work. I’ve been meaning to get a new one, anyway. Maybe a fun, colorful one?

What do you do when you find yourself having to be on your feet all day? Tell us about it in the comments section below!

I’m excited to be back in action on the Lymphie Life, and can’t wait to open up a dialogue with all of you again :) As always, be well.
