Long time no Update...
Whoops.
Well, nothing particularly exciting has been going on with me.
The boy has been staying with me since the beginning of the month and it's going good so far. It is nice to have real dinners.
We bought shelves from Ikea a few weeks back.
This weekend we made another trip to Ikea to pick up a futon for the 'den' area. It was delivered yesterday (yes, Easter Sunday - we were surprised) since we couldn't fit it in my car and didn't particularly want to carry it up stairs. Now we just have to move my desk and assemble it.
The first guest to break in the futon will be
pandora_576 when she comes to crash for Grand Slam weekend.
Yesterday wasn't particularly fun. My calf muscles have been a bit tight lately, nothing particularly unusual, but apparently it was worse than I thought. I was on the couch, laying on my back and I went to prop my left leg up on my right knee and screamed in agony. My Achilles tendon, from my heel to my calf muscle was on fire. Holy shit. So I spent the day icing it, rubbing in the icy hot, rubbing the calf muscle to get it to loosen up, taking advil and wrapping it up. Gah.
I woke up this morning and it was infinitely better. Yay! I still have it wrapped for now and I'll continue to take advil for the inflammation and ice it at night. Thankfully I don't have dance class for a week and a half due to Spring break and the fact my teacher is in Ireland and the World's competition. So I will rest it this week, sticking to the bike at the gym and hopefully I'll be good to go by a week from Wednesday. Oh and I'll be getting back to those fun PT exercises for my foot/ankle.
In other news, I have a wicked idea for an outfit for the AT3 cocktail party. I've almost got the pattern right for the top and the skirt shouldn't be too difficult to make. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it in time. One month, one week and one day! Eep!
