It would mean that my worst enemy in the world is dead; it would bring me joy and relief outliving the bastard.

i can hobble around on one crutch so i could carry my coffee mug out to the patio rather than drink it on the kitchen floor like yesterday. i was even able to start a load of laundry and scoop the cat box.

i'm still really wiped out, though. i slept for about 12 hours last night but i couldn't get comfortable, so it wasn't very restful sleep.

you're getting more done than I am and I don't have a broken ankle, LOL!

Rest a lot - healing takes a lot out of the body. Maybe take extra calcium with Vitamin D to make sure your body has enough to mend those bones.

I found out yesterday that the biopsy on my son's finger showed only a squamous cell carcinoma. Which, considering that we were both afraid it might be melanoma, is pretty good news in comparison.


And two...it's not raining today. No tornadoes or severe storms in Massachusetts.

burned papers and cardboard in the burn barrel, updated the August house budget and took my meds. And it's just 8:11!!

Edit; Now I'm going to clean the bathrooms and dust upstairs. Later I'll go and pick raspberries.

It is unfortunately, by necessity, all down-hill from that. Nothing ever tops cold pizza for breakfast.

My legs are sooooo tired.

I just came back from riding too fast, hitting some storm debris, and flipping over my handlebars.

Luckily, my chin was there to break my fall. I'm gonna look super tough in about two days, hehe.

Ouchie! I hope you are okay. I haven't wiped out since the spring, hehe. It is kind of fun. Log your miles on the website, can ride as an individual or as a team. I'm on a team here locally, we are rocking. I think we are third nationally for 10 person teams.

I'm doing a kmart/sears thing. No prize for that, but the bike miles I log in runkeeper also turned out to show up for their walking/running challenge this month, and if I finish in the top 20 there I win ... wait for it ... a dollar in store credit! Right now I'm in 18th place, I was out trying to rack up a couple more miles to try to solidify my stupid dollar in case others post more mileage tonight.

Congrats on your 3rd place standing, that's awesome!

A bag of jalapenos, some cherry tomatoes, and some cucumbers!

A good news for the day post is a good idea, let's me refocus on the positive instead of the negative as I have tendency to do.

Peace
