I'm Free!

I saw my doctor again yesterday. I am out of the boot and am now in a hard sole shoe and don't really need my crutches anymore. This is such a relief to me! And to celebrate I am going on a short jaunt to the grocery store. It's been about 7 weeks since I've been there and I can't say that I missed it really but it will be nice to go and do something for myself. I've been doing the laundry again too. Laundry has always been my nemesis so it was kind of nice to have a break from it but now I can honestly say that I don't mind getting back to it (except for the fact that now that it's summer our basement is home to many creepy crawly things including these rather large ugly crickets. I'm not afraid of bugs but I don't particularly like them when they jump out at me from the shadows of from under a pile of laundry I am moving--they tend to make my heart skip a beat). Who knew?!

There's nothing like a little forced couch time to make you appreciate the small things in life (can't say that I recommend this particular method though). It is so very nice to be standing on my own two feet again!

From my perspective it is amazing that seven weeks has passed. I wonder if God wanted you to enjoy doing laundry!

Hooray! Who would have thought you'd be thankful to do laundry? I am not a big fan of it either! Our basement is kind of icky too and I am always afraid that something is going to jump out at me.

I can bring over a few snakes for the basement to take care of your cricket problem if you would like! :) Glad to hear your foot is free - just in time for wedding season! It would be a shame to buy 2 new shoes and only getting to wear one.
