~ I wish I had two ~

... not two heads, though some look at me as if I did.  I wish I had two of me.  Totally!   It's been absolutely nuts here and I just don't seem to have the time to do anything any more. 

I've been back to work for a bit now.  It's going great and I really thought I was back into the rutt...    I mean routine.   I guess I'm really not.  Work is fine, it's after that when it goes to hell and I run out of time.  I get home, get dinner, eat, clean up, go for my walk.  It's not bad.  My ankle/foot cause a little distress about half way through but I push on.   The more I walk the more the drop foot is prominent and the limp follows suit.  My hips ache a little from that weird motion.  Like I said I push through it and then I'm fine.  Well, fine with a very noticeable limp.  I appreciate all the inquiries on how I'm doing.  Remarkably well trust me.

Once I'm home I try to get on the PC, but honestly it feels odd being here.  I try to catch up on entries and generally I'm so far behind I skirt through them and comment very sporadically.  I'm sorry.  I'm rushed for time and I feel guilty if I don't at least read.  Maybe I'm just nosey and I'm afraid of missing something.   That isn't the case, I swear :)  I notice most folks aren't doing entries like they use to.  I can't figure out if it's the switch to blogger or if Facebook has taken over because it's faster and right to the point.  :::shrugging:::  either way it appears blogger has crashed and burned.   You'd think with all that said I'd be able to keep up... so why can't I?

Those of you that know me, know I've been watching the hockey playoffs.  It looks like, unless a miracle happens, that it will be Detroit and Pittsburgh playing for Lord Stanley again this year.  Talk about adding insult to injury.  Boston lost to Carolina in the last round.  Freak goal in OT to say the least.  Now, Carolina is on the verge of being swept (losing 4 games in row).   I know the Boston fans are looking on knowing their team would have at least put up a fight if they couldn't/didn't win the series.  It's about bounces sometimes.

Ya'll know before my last hospital stay I had my hair all cut off.  Nothing like lying in bed for 8+ days and having long dirty hair.  I had it cut again on Saturday.  I want to grow it back out, but it's thick and curly and I don't feel like fighting with it all summer as it has a mind of it's own.  I also had it colored and highlighted.  I'm not sure, but I think I like it.  I'll let it grow come winter.

I also did some shopping on Sunday.  No, I didn't go with Nancy, but I should have.  She hit the jackpot!!   Anyway, I had no choice I had to go.  None of my clothes fit.   The summer clothes I have fall off me and appear so freaking sloppy  I just can't go out like that.  It use to be that I would find something I liked and then be in the dressing room in tears because it didn't come large enough.  Yesterday, well I cried because nothing I liked was small enough.   Who the frig invented low rise?  WTF!?!  I hate 'em and everything seems to be that style.  I will keep my ass crack to myself thank you!  After some time I did find a few things.  When I got home I changed into one of my new outfits.  Shorts and a tank.  As I stood looking at myself I wondered if I looked like an old lady trying to be a young one.   Jean shorts size 6 with a leather braided belt.  Never in my life can I remember buying something that came with a belt and having both fit around my waist.  Did they learn and start making belts a bit larger?   The shorts were much shorter then I've worn in years.  Maybe since I was 20?!?  Not daisy dukes, but short.  The tank was just a tank.  My son stopped over with his girlfriend and I had to ask.  He thought it was fine and that it looked good.  Off to my parents I went.  My brother told me I looked good so I asked him too, 'does it look like I'm an old lady trying to be young?'  He laughed and told me, 'no you look hot.  Well as hot as a sister can be.'   Thanks Tim that made me feel great!!  I wouldn't recommend this diet to anyone.  I'm thrilled but broke!  It's hard to replace an entire wardrobe.  Oh and yes I strutted myself all day... at my parents... with no one there.  LOL   When's the next public picnic? 

I'm off to my parents again today for a little picnic.  Not sure who will be there as most are at the river.  I didn't go because I'm not ready.  All those stairs, packing my meds, needles etc.  Just seemed like too much work.  Maybe next time.  I hope everyone has a great day and you all stay safe!  'Nuff of my babbling

Hugs
