Orange Juice-i-us

Feel like drinking a creamy Orange Julius? Here's my homemade version. My family likes my tweaks better than the original. :)

1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup powdered milk
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. coconut extract

Add all ingredients, except ice cubes, into a blender. Mix until combined. Add in ice cubes one at a time until desired consistency is reached. Makes 4 to 4 1/2 cups of drink, depending on amount of ice used.

Lu, texting me after finishing her second day of high school....

Lu: Wanna know the weirdest part? I don't have to bend over to get a drink
Me: LOL. That's because it's an old school, before ADA laws required the fountains to be lowered for wheelchair access. :)
Lu: Oh i thought it was because its a high school :) haha

Talking with my doctor, at my 6 months post-ankle-surgery followup visit:

Doctor: Your ankle looks a little more swollen than I'd expect to see at this stage.
Me: Well, I just sprained it pretty good on July 4th. Since I was here last, I've sprained it at least 3 times.
Doctor (surprised): What???
Me: Hey, I can walk on it after spraining it now. The one on July 4th was bad enough that before the surgery, I would have been on crutches. Now I can walk on it after spraining it.
Doctor: So this means there's improvement?
Me: Yes, most definitely.
Doctor: That's good. The surgery can be done to help stabilize your ankle, but we unfortunately don't have a cure for your clumsiness.
