Default never a dull moment

Hey, Just in case you were wondering what's up with my gazillion posts. I'm finally up and running again. Gosh that feels good!

My husband is on a business trip, gone for two weeks. He's in Australia, first, and then directly on to Jakarta. It's only his second trip to Australia and boy, did I ever want to go. It's a long story why I can't.

I'm holding my own PD wise. My right toe curls still, forcing the others with it. That triggers my entire gait to be off and then I'm in pain. I need to take stock in Icy Hot packs.

I have found that by wearing sandals, and with a bit of a heel, it seems to help. I did learn that I should choose my sandals with a bit more tack ... I wore a pair to a local store, caught a glimpse of me in the mirror (with shorts) and it screamed prostitute. (Can I say that on this website?!)

Ironically when I'm in my own home NOT wearing them, I regret it later on. But wearing them around the house is a pain in the butt and I have to admit that I look a bit weird out in the yard raking, weeding, or mowing in heels! Maybe I should put on my "prostitute" pair. That might get some tongues wagging in our neighborhood. LOL And wouldn't it be a hoot to show up at Baylor's School of Medicine like that. Gosh I could have a bit of fun!

And, then, for some reason or another, there are days that my toe doesn't curl and I walk just fine. I need to keep track of what I"m doing and/or what I'm wearing to try and find a pattern. I'm just too $#*% busy having fun. (Yeah. Right. Read sarcasm in between the lines!)

Oh ... one thing that happened recently is that our oldest son proposed and being married this summer. She's a lovely girl and they've been going out together since the 7th grade. I'll gain another daughter which I sorely need.

Sure hope everyone has a great week. If not, look me up and we could have tongues wagging in two subdivisions!

Terri
