Taking a Time Out

So, as most of you know my left third metatarsal is fractured.  It has been officially a week since the cast went on, and I am dealing...just dealing.  It gets frustrating at times because I can't really do anything on my own, and I have to ask for help for nearly everything.  I tried pushing my tea cup across the floor from the kitchen to the den...yep, didn't work.  Matt has tried to help out as much as he can, but he can't be with me all the time.  And if this cast is going to be on for 6 weeks, I need to learn to deal by myself.   I do like the fact that giving myself a bath is a 45 minute ab workout; my abs are like steel now!  :-)  It isn't the end of the world, though, and we will get through this.  I say "we" because my poor Matt has to deal with my mood swings from wanting to run.  Soon enough...soon enough.  Isn't my cast adorable?  LOL!

It has been a humbling experience, to say the least.  On an encouraging note, Matt has decided to run my first marathon with me.  We are still looking for a good one...I will keep everyone posted.

In 24 days I will be with my family and friends back in Michigan.  I am very excited.  We have a lot of fun things planned (Henry Ford Museum, Frankenmuth, shopping).  I have been working around the clock on one of Sarah's presents.  I really hope I can get it done before I leave.  I don't want to work on it on the plane.  We shall see!

By the time I get on the plane, I will no longer be a student.  I will have graduated - in 22 days!  I just can't believe it.  Life will be so different...

Matt and I bought a juicer the other day...wow, has that been an adventure, haha.  I am learning how to put different fruits and veggies together to make us some great combinations of micro-nutrients.  We are both feeling great lately (except my bum leg) and enjoying our new joy of cooking and preparing new things and supporting our local growers.  I got my email today of what we are getting on Sunday...can't wait!

Isn't that the truth!
