Hubby helped me out of bed before he left for his run. How ironic that all these years I said I'd give anything in the world to be able to run with him. Now that he's running, I'm all lamed up! :)

I seriously thought that I'd be sad about not able to run. NOPE!!! The pain in the foot is a constant reminder...running is the last thing on earth right now. I'd be happy to just get out of bed, shower, get dressed, put on the boot...eat, drink and be merry...yep, that's exactly what I did and it's all peachy! :) :) :) May be I will learn to play the piano as my fingers are obviously working pretty good typing this post.

OK! Silliness aside. I must report that hubby ran the same 3 mile loop with only 3 walk breaks of 2 telephone poles distance this morning! He is hoping to eventually run the entire loop without walk breaks. He said he can tell the running is becoming easier now. I still teased him about his attire!!! At least he agreed to wear a tech shirt over his garments instead of the heavy polo shirt! :)

Happy Monday to y'all fellow bloggers! :) :) :) :)

I did not sleep a wink after laying in bed all evening and night with my foot propped up on two pillows. Finally hobbled out of bed at 2am to take a Tylenol PM and dozed for couple hours. I had arranged for someones to take care of my choir practice and my Primary class. Debated whether to call my best friend Wendy to drive me to Sacrament Mtg.

The foot hurts so much that I didn't even feel like getting up to shower so I lounged around 'till my son, Bryan, came home. He was on his way back from playing in the Music and Spoken Words which I watched the live broadcast from my bedroom TV. He listened and made me something to eat while I talked about my broken foot, childhood food, etc. It's good to listen to him too. He's been home almost 2 years now from his mission. Am glad that I've been at the "crossroads" of his life! :)

VERY NICE to receive texts from Teena and Lowell. How I ever survive without their friendships!!!!
