2 More Days Left

Yes, another productive day!!!  I’m on a role.

We started the day off with bike ride.  We then ran on to the bank so we can get new check cards ordered and then on to get a few storage containers

I got the sheets changed on the bed, more laundry done, and then attacked the garage.  I got the majority of our books into storage containers, which are so much better then the boxes they were in.  Boy, we have a ton of books…….lol ….cool to look at some of the books I used in my Political Science and Women’s Studies classes.  One day I will have a room that is lined with shelves just for them.  =)

While Harold went to the foot doctor (as you saw), I stayed home to wait for the bug guy….again.  I know they are trying to find the where the ants are coming from, but this is getting old.  We haven’t seen them in the kitchen (where they were everywhere) but now they are in the office.  =(    So the bug guy went to powder all the trees and fingers crossed, that it will take of it………finally.

We have the OSU & FU game on………this sucks!  Come on OSU!!  I am not going to say much more, except that I’m not a happy camper and more then a little frustrated…..gggrrrrr   I’m not sure if I can even handle watching the end of it.  =(

Tomorrow my goal is not to leave the house.  I want one day at home and nothing else.  I still have things that I need to do online, but unless I really have to….I’m not going anywhere.

We finally have a cold front moving in…..it is about 66 now.  It was about 84 today and the pool was about 80.  I got so hot and sticky from working in the garage that I almost jumped in.  At least we can go to bed without the air on, but I took the flannel sheets off today…………..doh.  But at least it will be comfortable enough that I can set myself outside tomorrow to get some work done or even just chill out and do some reading.  =)

Here is a look at my new color. It won’t last, but I love enjoying it while I can.

Wonderful………

I just got back from the foot doctor. When I was in Kansas I did a lot of physical labor and moving and crouching down and running and just about anything else you can on your feet, I did.

After 4+ years of working behind the desk with little physical activity I was actually surprised how well my feet held up, little to no pain for the majority of the 11 days, until I was flying home that’s when I was feeling a fair amount of pain in my left foot.

The next day I was in major pain, and for the next 2 days I just sat in a chair and relaxed since I thought the pervious 11 days was catching up with me. But the pain never left my foot, even when I was not on my feet I could and still can feel it. So after a month I realized something was wrong and I went to the foot doctor today to have it looked at expecting sprained muscles at worse.

Not a broken foot.

I actually broke my foot working, so whoever said “hard work never hurt anyone” is full of shit cause that’s a load of crap, I’m hurt dammit and it was caused by hard work!

I forgot what the bone I broke is called, but follow your big toe on the bottom of your feet to the “ball” there are 2 small bones there about the size of a peanut, I broke one of those which was very noticeable on the x-ray even to me. I am now wearing inserts that have a 30% chance of healing it. In 3 weeks I go back and get more x-rays to see what it is doing, but worse case I get a foot operation to remove the bone since it is easier to remove the bone then fix it. Of course if I do get it removed I am looking at a week in bed and 3 weeks of pain and healing, good thing I work from home and at a desk.

So life is wonderful, no bare feet, no running or anything sports related and I get to wear inserts which make me feel much older then I am.

back to school
