Monday Already?

The next two days will be pretty boring…tech support for the Bar exam takers who use their laptops. So I’m off from my day job. And boring is a good thing. That means there are no laptop problems that I may or may not be able to fix and lots of free time to blog, read and knit.

Since my last post, I’ve celebrated (again) my friend’s upcoming move to Florida. (Her husband & son left a month ago.)

last time together

my fav drink - chocolate martini

one of my fav desserts - cannoli

I know I have to start cutting back on the calorie consumption since I am not exercising… but I am still in pity mode.

I went to my second physical therapy session. I made degrees of progress so my PT guy R said and he gave me more exercises using the resistance bands.

This weekend I decided to go BOOTLESS.

NO boot!

First I had to find a sneaker that would fit on my fat swollen ankle.

Success! A pair of Reeboks that I got free at the outlets last year.

I started out using the crutches since I can hardly bend my foot. Gradually I moved to one crutch and then on Sunday I even limped around the house without crutches!!

It is slow going and I am trying to be smart about it. I used the wheelchair to go to the mall on Saturday. On Sunday I went SHOPPING by myself for the FIRST time. I wore the boot for support but left the crutches home. I went to Marshalls. Two months without shopping… I scored some big bargains included a pink wool winter jacket for $15!! When I came home, I did my exercises & iced it.

Today I am back in the boot… but I see sneakers in my future!!

Happy Running! Did you see The Artist?
