So, here’s the deal: the orthopedist (who is not a runner, but who specializes in sports medicine) thought it was a stress fracture from the beginning. I brought up the idea of peroneal tendinitis, and while he agrees it’s a possibility, he doesn’t want to rule out a fracture, either. Here’s something […]

GABE: “Get out, Sam! Get away from here! I’m the kid who’s special, not you!”
SAM: “We’re both special, Gabe.”
GABE: “No, you’re not! Just me!”
It’s been tantrums, tantrums, tantrums from him, all day long. He is driving me up a wall.
“Noooooooo! I don’t want a nap! What if I want […]

My foot does not feel better today. I only managed to get a little over a mile of running in before I came to my senses and walked (limped, really) home. Can’t tell you how much I desperately want this to be something small, something fixable by as minor a change as the […]

Somehow, I need to stop giving the impression that I’m capable of repairing things. I mean, really; the assumption that I’m capable can get me into more trouble than doing me good.
I doubt that the particular person making demands of me in this situation, though, would care even if I were glassy-eyed and tripping […]

It’s irritating to try to balance a mostly-outdoors hobby with weather issues and a husband who travels a lot. Knitting was easier in this regard. I’m supposed to do a hill workout on Monday, and I figured it would actually be doable with my parents here, even if Eric wasn’t; I actually […]

Somehow, I didn’t manage to get a whole, rectangular patch of my back with sunscreen when we were at the lake yesterday. Nice to be able to wear a bikini, I’ll grant you, but it does mean greater hazards in the realm of sun protection. So now I have a nice […]

It’s hot. I go outside to the garage to see about hauling out the kiddie pool. I am barefoot, because I am a MORON.
Kiddie pool: has no plug. I go back in the garage in search of the sprinkler.
Sprinkler: nowhere to be found.
Interlude: one of the new renters […]

Maybe I’ve no room to complain, since I’ve certainly had warm seasons in which our yard was in a somewhat perpetual state of unkemptness. (Unkemptitude?) Maybe, then, this is a payback for that, or perhaps just a little lesson to keep me from ever falling back on those wayward days.
Still. It is a […]

Sam’s determined to give them to me.
We went to a little festival today, put on by a local Greek Orthodox church that friends of ours attend. We ran into them, and Sam and their son (classmates since preschool) were happy-giggly together, riding the rides and skipping around while his mom and […]

It’s pretty pathetic when far more of your daily conversations and interactions are online than off. Just sayin.’ (I mean, if that’s what you prefer, it’s one thing, but when it’s not… )
Waiting to hear from Eric. He called a while ago when his train was pulling into Chicago, and he’s […]
