Today Harmony and I played pickleball. I'd never heard of it before. It was fun and did not require cucumbers.

Shuffleboard.....so exhausting!

I know once I get on that plane Thursday morning time will fly by, but right now Thursday seems so far away!

I love mornings. I just wish they were later in the day, when I'm wide awake.

"Floor length, nothing flashy, buckles, sparkles, plain back." If I had to guess, I'd say the Old Man's prom dress. :o)

It is 1 of the girls' old school books. Much is highlighted and there are many handwritten studious comments in the margins. One stands out.

"Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated." - Ernest Hemingway

Blah blah blah. :oP

Since homeshoring, I've forgotten how nice it is to go out in public: as we push, shove, and treat each other rudely. Maybe I've gone soft.

Tonight, while acting in a scene, I was allowed to play the part of God. Seems a stretch, I know...still, it was quite enjoyable.

I guess no sleeping for me tonight. Unfortunately, it will make for a long day tomorrow. What can I do?

Just booked trip to see li'l sis in Florida! Hooray!

Minny is always yelling at me. Make her stop. She's so mean to me. :o/

Do you ever have one of those George Bailey days: you think: What day was it when I became a loser? Who knows? but you'll fix it tomorrow.

18 hours=1trip to city + 3 hours in traffic + 1 scarey allergic reaction + 1 kid's tonsilectomy - 2 tonsils = long day. Aaaah....Feet up.

Lay here, reading a novel, foot throbs, I realize I'd rather be a thief than face my major personality flaw: letting go: of people + things. Ha!

It's official. Steve Carell has definitely made my Top 10 list.

It's Friday and I'm sleeping in tomorrow! (I figure I deserve to do so every once in awhile.) Happy weekend!

Take it to get some coffee
Early morning sun smile
Protects that place inside
Which hides so nice and quiet

Hit the library browsing shelves
Old fashioned need no Kindle
Stifle down that old need
Keep away from romance novels

STAYIN' BUSY THAT'S HOW I GET THROUGH
SECOND BY SECOND, MINUTE BY MINUTE WITHOUT YOU
TIME WILL TAKE THIS ACHE THEY SAY
AS TIME GOES ON HOUR BY HOUR, DAY BY DAY
STAYIN BUSY WEEK BY WEEK WITHOUT YOU

At the gym, folks ask me how I've been
Laughing through the small talk
Hides this inside crazed fragility
Work it out and walk the walk

Hide this sense of loneliness
And if I'd see you, my sunshine
I promised you, you'll never know
How much I still wish you were mine

STAYIN' BUSY THAT'S HOW I GET THROUGH
SECOND BY SECOND, MINUTE BY MINUTE WITHOUT YOU
TIME WILL TAKE THIS ACHE THEY SAY
AS TIME GOES ON HOUR BY HOUR, THEN BY DAY
STAYIN BUSY, WEEK BY WEEK WITHOUT YOU

It is one of those moments when Silence is deafening, making each small sound seem exaggerated and intrusive.

Back at gym today; biked for 30 min. Tried the elliptical but my little footsie isn't quite ready for it. :o( How to eat an elephant? :o)

Never read vampire stories right before going to sleep at night.

My cast is off! And I can try using the recumbant bike for starters. Hooray for me!

Tomorrow. I go to the doctor and I think he will take my cast off which is good! I am tired of lugging it around. AND I am hopeful he tells me I can get back to some cardio. I realize he probably won't let me run yet, but I am hoping he says I can go back to the recumbent bike or the elliptical. This would be very good. As I have been sitting on my butt and it's very hard to do any cardio with one bad foot. (If you know of any cardio that can be done with one foot, other than hopping, please let me know!)

Anyway, the one thing I am worried about is getting on the scale and seeing how much weight I have gained while sitting on my butt for 3 weeks with my foot up. That is going to be scary and I will attempt it on Wednesday morning.

All right. That's it for now. More info later after I go to the doc. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hop hop...hop hop hop...hippity...hop..hoppity hop hop....hop...hippity...hop hop...EGG! (That's never made sense to me!) Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone!

I want a dragon!

I've been awake since 4 and now it's almost time to get up. What a waste of good sleepy time! :o(

It's so nice to be able to open the windows and feel the nice evening air float in.
