Update and Day 18 journal
So, the toe break has bruised well past the joint. The toe itself is still purple, but the bruising below is the sexy yellow-green. HAWT. *eye roll*
I am, however, still walking. Slowly, and carefully, but walking none the less. This means I'll be doing upper body weight today, followed by swimming. Usually, I do cardio on an eliptical or some such, then lift, then swim; but, that's juts not happening today. I am just hoping I can get my sneakers on without screaming so I can lift weights.
thudd has been great, getting me stuff so I don't have to walk, etc.
It got me thinking about the other things he's been there for me through. He was amazing last February (2006), when my brother passed on suddenly. He got me to my grandparent's in the middle of the night, he took all the phone calls & emails, he updated my journal, he took care of overseeing and helping with food...he was just generally great. He did most of the packing & setting up for Pennsic when I did whatever it was to my ankle. When I had my migraine thing (which went on for like 2 weeks and has never come back), he kept a cool cloth on my eyes, brought me water and tea, as well as homemade bread and butter. In the 1.75 years we've been dating, we've been through a lot. It helps, some days, to remind myself of those times.
Food: Brunch: bagel w/cream cheese and tomatoes. Lovely, ripe strawberries. Dinner will be: beef pot roast, Thadd's mashed potatoes, organic veggies, fresh fruit, and Heather's bringing brownies!
Exercise: weights, swimming
Supplements: usual
Accomplished: cleaned the house, did dishes & laundry. Gym. Making a nice dinner and having folks over.
Mood: okay. Moments of good. Moments of very bad.
Weekend brief: did henna on Thudd & myself, went to the Festival of the Arts, played scrabble, had breakfast & bloody marys with the neighbors, made some great dinners, got some stuff resolved, started plans to potentially move earlier than originally planned (as in, possibly in July), dealt with stupid & insane women and their unresolved issues, broke my toe, went grocery shopping, and I forget what else. All told, a good weekend.
