it's official, I am falling apart....

Yep...it is sad but true. Went to my physio appointment yesterday and in about 2.36 seconds, she says "Your left arch is falling...badly." Really.
You would think I would notice this as it is MY arch!
And "Your left hip is significantly higher than your right hip." Really.
That would be from carrying my kids on my left hip.
Put these things together and my left knee in the middle of the two and the knee says OUCH!!
I am now armed with a bunch of daily stretches and arch strengthening excercises and NO RUNNING for 2 weeks. How? Wha? Oh NO? Really? None?
I don't even really feel all that bad about it...as I have WAY to much on my plate right now.
Host my book club tonight. The book I picked was "A Thousand Splendid Suns". Very good book. Kind of depressing and sad so I bought LOTS of wine!!
Trying to find swim coaches for our local tri club. Had two of them that I thought were good to go BAIL on me today. So we may not have swim coaches for the fall....niice.
Headed down east next week for a big conference. Flattered that I was selected to go but realistically, 4 days away from my kids and their activities to get brown nosed by some fake money manager with spikey blonde highlighted hair, fancy cuff links, trendy tie and manicured hands....really does not appeal to me. I need to find out if there is a Winner's in downtown T.O....

ha!! got your card and wondered who the hell knew a Rolo lived at my house. Hope Luke is enjoying sleeping with the wiggles VHS cover:) The other lady who came by took the jeep and all the VHS movies:) Jenny is a happy girl as the clutter finds a new home...err... i mean as my gently used toys find new kids to entertain.

Hahaha! Love the comment about the spikey blond hair. No kidding, eh? I HATE having to play the game..the forced niceties, thinly veiled insults, the whole one-upmanship thing just sucks the life right out of me. I swear -- the best job I ever had was working as a stock person at Overwaitea. I got a wicked workout, and the only customer interaction I had was carrying out groceries for those in need, or showing someone where the canned chilies were.

Take advantage of the two weeks to heal yourself up. Do those stretches -- it's a good thing you went to that appointment!!

Take care, Kelly!

For shits & giggles, you should go to your conference incognito as Wonder Woman!

Hope your injuries heal fast
