Ingenuity


During my PT appointment today I was alerted to the fact that my understanding of only having one week left on crutches was flawed.  It seems the three weeks were "no weight bearing" not total meaning I have at least two weeks left on crutches.   This was certainly not the highlight of my day.  I left the PT's office in need of a fountain Diet Pepsi or some type of adult beverage.  Since I'm still a bit unsure of myself on crutches at time, I went for the fountain drink.  I entered SA and asked for a plastic bag (a difficult request since I rarely if ever get a plastic bag and carry bags in my car).  The cashier was confused, but handed it over.  Then I filled up my soda (3/4 full) and put it in the bag.  This allowed me to carry the soda up my 14 (but who's counting) stairs.  Clever, huh!?!  Actually GENIUS!

Today's Kindness
The school secretary answered my multiple calls today and was super helpful.  I plan on being back next week, but I wanted to have a contingency plan.  Also I need to miss three days at the beginning of February for my uncle's funeral in Long Island. 

People continue to check in on my progress.

It seems like something better than crutches would have been invented by now. Genius move on the bag and the pepsi!

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
