Once
again, Wednesday has arrived in the blink of an eye, and I have little to show
for it.
Yesterday
for the first time in two weeks, my hip wasn’t hurting and for the first time
in two months, my Achilles tendon wasn’t aching, so I thought I would try a
run. Um, dumb idea. I could only do a light jog for a hundred feet or so before
my hip started killing me. I still
walked about 4/10 of a mile, running a few yards a few times. I thought maybe,
just maybe, the hip would loosen up, but it wouldn’t give in. Of course to not
be outdone, my heel started up in the evening. So that by bedtime last night, I
was back to square one, gimping like an old woman. I know. I need to give this
a good long rest. Arggh.
How
about my other goals? I’ve blogged on schedule, and am doing good on reading
and commenting on other blogs. Am 2/3 done with the book I am reading for
research and have promoted my writing on social media every day.
I also just this morning got my novel back from my niece, who loved it and did make some suggestions on it. Hopefully yet this week I can read through it and make any necessary changes. It is still available to be emailed to anyone out there who wants to read it and critique it for me.

I
am off of work today, so hope to get some writing done. I may be strapped for
time as I am meeting a friend for brunch at 10:00 and going to my daughter’s in
the afternoon. I found out about a craft sale in the town another 30 miles past
her house. My mom and I used to go to their big annual sale years ago, so I
thought I would take a nostalgic trip down there again. See if I find some
crafty stuff that I just have to have. Maybe I can find something my daughter
can use in her wedding. That’s a thought. Makes it sound more productive, huh?
Well,
that’s it for now.

Hugs on your hip and Achilles tendon and your heel. :( You've made good progress this week, and good luck looking for crafty stuff! What kind of crafts do you do?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erin, for the support. I used to scrapbook - that's what's mostly on these shelves. Years ago I did needlepoint, crocheting and latch-hook. Now a-days mostly just sewing.
DeleteGood news on your hip and health improvements. May the healing continue. I think you need a giant table to spread all those crafty projects out. Sad to say, I have four quilts "in progress" -- a little slow, but steady. Healing hands, healing hearts.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to see that your hurting so much again. May you heal quickly and thoroughly. Yay for reaching so many goals. There is always room for more craft stuff. Good luck from a ROW80 blog hopping friend.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this one will ever heal, my heel that is. Nearly constant ache for over two months. The stretching exercises I have aren't doing anything yet. My doctor said I could try splinting it at night but that doesn't sound so comfortable. We will see.
DeleteSorry about your hip & heel. That can be painful. My knee cracked(sounded more like a crunch) yesterday in the middle of a workout. Stopped in the middle of it since I couldn't bend my knee far enough to do any more squats.
ReplyDeleteyay for meeting other goals and getting feedback on the novel.
Hope your knee is nothing serious. I just hate when this kind of stuff slows me down. I think it is as psychologically painful as it is physically. Here's to a better week!
DeleteAlways could use more glitter. As a wise one once said about Glitter, it gets everywhere!! :-)
ReplyDeleteSending you some healing energies through the interwebs!!
Good idea - everyone needs more glitter.
