So the dogs do not go outside as much as they should. By that, I don't mean that we don't let them out. They generally have access to the great outdoors from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, and Sis or I will take them out if they ask us to in the night. (And Sis tries to get them to go out before she leaves at 6:30 a.m., but is not always successful.)

I called to set up more PT appointments for Mom next week and was walking to the family calendar when I fell hard. I've sprained my left ankle badly enough that a compression sock feels wonderful which is not normal. I also jammed my right wrist and barked my left elbow so hard that it bled. One of the dogs -- I'm glaring at you, Nicky -- left a puddle, and I slipped in it. In fairness, it's not impossible that Nora left it, but Nicky is more likely.

I do have a question, though. Do northerners use the term "barked" for the kind of high impact landing I had? The fact that it made me bleed is why I used the term, and then I thought, is this a common phrase anymore? Is it strictly a southern usage?
