My Story Living Through The Ghost
#140: January 14, 2025, 09:23:02 AM
I hope 2025 will be a better year for you! It is frustrating when our bodies don't do what we "expect" from them. Hope your foot will be well healed before paddleboard season.

It takes time, that dreaded word again!

LOL UM.  I have two formal affairs in February and have no idea what shoes I'm going to wear with my dresses. 

Yesterday I finally wore a dress again to the office after weeks of skinny jeans and leggings to fit inside the boot, but wore my special tennis shoes with my dress.  So unflattering.

Yes xyzcf, it does take time!  And I'm trying to be patient.  I had come to the conclusion that time is a gift when it comes to MLC, but I am not feeling the same sort of way when it comes to my physical healing.  I'm chomping at the bit.

Hey, my vice-daughter changed into her Vans under her dress to a Wedding reception/dance after the real wedding - it's the "in" thing now.... You were quite stylish I am sure!

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

Maybe UM, if they had been Vans or my Converse.  Unfortunately, they were neither, but a "supportive shoe" that are not really flattering haha.

Day by day the foot is getting better though.  Today I started back up my Daily 5 routine but ommitted the 15 jumping jacks and the minute 10 second jump rope for just plain squats.  Not quite ready for any jumping yet.

I hope everyone is having a great Monday.  With it being Martin Luther King Jr. day I was graced with a 3 day weekend.  Finally got the tree down and put away so I'm feeling pretty accomplished lol.

I'm having some ladies over for brunch on Saturday and nothing motivates you like upcoming visitors!

Good to hear from your FW! I really hope your foot gets better real soon! And 9 years post BD.. my god! It's good to hear that at one point that date just flies by without really thinking about it.

It looks like most of the LBSers I was thinking of have recently posted here in the last day or two.  I'm very relieved.  Hopefully there aren't any others that I'm not recalling right now.  The whole fire situation is just awful.  So horrifying.
You're always so supportive of all the LBS around here, I love that!

Thank you TH, you all are like family even if I haven't had the chance to meet you.

I've weaned out of the boot nicely with just a few days needing to ice or take ibuprofen.  Today I am fighting off an illness of some sort, just a very low grade fever but achy and my throat is hurting.  I cancelled my brunch today as I woke up feeling the throat burn and aches and didn't want to take any chances.
