Ugh

My ankle has really been bothering me today.
I don't know if it's the weather which has been in the 20s, or if I just did too much yesterday.
My mother in law gave me a muscle relaxer, bad idea, and it knocked me out for pretty much the entire day. I don't do well with drugs.
I prefer ibuprofen to Vicadin.

At any rate, I'll be taking it a little easier. Yesterday, I did a chest workout, was up and down the stairs a lot, and played at church.
Today: nothing.

I've got rehearsal in an hour. I'll do that, then off to bed again.

Better

I didn't write and I really don't have an excuse with all the time off I've been indulging in.

I'll do better. Ha.

On Chill

I spent most of the day in my studio today.
Oh what fun it is! I'm working on my masterpiece. Ok, so I hate to call anything a "masterpiece", because that means the pinnacle, the best you can do, but I want to ALWAYS be growing and refining and becoming a better musician.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool tune, and marks another beginning. It's been over a year since I've recorded anything on YouTube.
I'm definitely getting back into it since I won't be at work for a while.
I absolutely love YouTube. One of my videos has been viewed over 183,000 times! I just want my next video to do better than that, and I THINK that it will.

I visited the Orthopedist yesterday. Good news all around:
I DON'T need surgery.
I got a walking cast which I don't have to keep on all the time.
I MAY be able to get back on a bike in 4 weeks, elliptical in 8 weeks, and some cautious running soon after that.
I can probably start swimming again, and do any sort of lifting that doesn't require my right foot by next week... of course, I'll be in Vegas...
I will also be off work for at least 2 months. ::tear::

Yup, pretty good news all around.

Appointments And Showers

There's something to be said about not having to go to work on a Monday.

There's ALSO something to be said about being able to get around on your own unasisted. Amy SO wants to give me a sponge bath and spoon feed me pudding, but I am just not the type to be catered to.
I guess I am what they call a "bad patient"... ok, maybe I'm ok with a sponge bath or two.

I have an appointment with the Orthopedist at 3 today.
I'm anxious to see what kind of cast I'm going to be stuck with for the next several weeks. It would be nice if it was something I could take off every now and then. I took the temporary splint off this morning to get cleaned up before they put the (hopefully not) permanent cast on. It was a one-legged hoppy, skippy shower, but I managed.

Watched "The Town" this morning too. GOOD movie.

Later, gators.

Meet Abby

Today, after service, we all rode out to south Houston.
Last night in our online search for a new boxer puppy, we came across a little beaut that we couldn't resist.

Meet Abby



WE loved her at first sight, however, Allie and Layla weren't so easily won over.
They were highly distressed when we got home with Abby. It was kind of funny, kind of annoying, but they're coming around. Abby is unfazed by the old dog's cool welcome.
When she was sleepy, she slept.



Today is a good day.
