Have you ever been unscrewed?

 
If you haven't been unscrewed, I can let you know how it feels on Friday.
 

 
I was back at the surgeon's this morning to say that after a year I still have a lot of pain in my foot.  He did apologize (and did look sincere).  He said that the tearing feeling in the bottom of my foot may be from a screw that went through the bone.  Youch.  Our (that's the royal "our" by the way) next step is to remove the screws (hey, any weight loss is a good weight loss, right?) and hope that my foot gets more bendy (not the technical terms I'm sure).  Not sure how much I am looking forward to this because it is done with just freezing and he will reopen the incision and remove the screws.  Wonder if he uses a Makita or a Black & Decker screwdriver.  Will have to ask.

The good news, no cast, no crutches, no wheelchair.  Possibly the boot for my first few days back on the bus.  Hmmmm, wonder if I could bike with the boot on.  If this woman can, so can I.

 
Today's name of the day:  Lovett (I think this is a guy's name; I know it is Lyle's last name too)

What do you think of this beautiful dress?  I bought this to wear to the wedding reception.  Your daughter only gets married once right!  A definite reason to put on a party dress.  Also a reason to hit the gym and work on those shoulders.

Happy Friday! Looks like it is going to be a fantabulous weather day…for a change.Get outside and enjoy it while it lasts.

Yes, I do own these beauties. Wednesday...half way to the weekend but so many hours left to go.Can cross cardio off today's list - I ran for the bus. So much has happened since my last blog. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and now it is almost Christmas.Are you ready?I'm getting there…slowly.
The fam is going to Montreal on Saturday so I am working on my to-do list which will start after our buds Charlie and Eddie finish up their sleepover at our place.We are looking forward to doing something Christmassy with them before they head home…better put on my creative hat soon. After that I am off for a pedicure compliments of Jaan - as my feet bask in the bubbles I am going to bestow the warmest thoughts on you Jaan. Maybe I’ll put the Christmas tree up (well, into the tree stand. I love the smell of real trees. Then we can spend the week putting on the lights and decorations.


I have a story.Grab yourself a coffee/tea, a cookie, a banana or just put your feet up for a few minutes an…

Long weekend excitement

Image
I am pretty excited that I have tomorrow off to start off the long weekend.

I am also pretty sad that the weather is going to suck and I may not get to go to the beach (for the first time all summer!)


But, I'll try to keep the excitement going at least for the next 8 hours to get through the work week.

I hope you all have some exciting, relaxing, fun filled plans for the weekend.



Some gym humour. Actually, this isn't me but there is a woman at the gym that likes to booty shake when a good song comes on.  Pretty amusing.




Who the heck does wall planks?  In jeans no less!  Why do wall planks?  Regular planks are hard enough, right?

HI HO, HI HO....
