Case/Pouch for Plotters
Do y’all keep your plotters protected in a case/pouch? I’m still on the hunt for perfect sized pouches to keep my plotter bible and mini (and maybe mini 5 TBD 🤪)
For anyone else searching, the plotter mini 5 fits into the Muji nylon compact pouch perfectly, as shown by this Instagram post I chanced upon (with lots of other plotter inspo too): https://www.instagram.com/reel/Clr2I2cjpJL/?igsh=bGZ2Y2VoemIyZnJl

What are good sports to do after we’re well again?
I’m guessing sports with quick pivots are gonna be tough/risky? Especially right after we can walk again? Eg football, tennis, badminton, dance
I can only think of swimming, strength training, pilates on reformer for now.
Happy to be wrong and that we can all go back to everything we used to be able to do!

My First Plotter: Navy Horse Hair Bible
My very first Plotter! Was checking its delivery status every single day for almost two weeks. After laying my hands on it, I immediately bought another (I have a problem, I know).
After trying Hobonichi, Sterling Ink, Stalogy, Moleskine, Leuchtturm, etc, I’m liking the idea of a highly customizable system with Plotter. I will still be using the Apple ecosystem for most of my life and work planning and reflections, and intend to use the Plotter for other scribbles like language learning and brainstorming.
Really liking the matte black backplate and the overall feel on my hands. Looking forward to using it proper, as opposed to babying it now (keeping it in box, wrapped with its protective bag).

When is it safe to try making circles with foot?
I’m 3 weeks post-op, ROM is somewhere around 75-80. When I try to move the ankle to the sides it’s feeling very tight. Can I already try working on the side to side movements or stick to only flexing?
