Tak’n it easy…

Well, I really don’t feel like posting much but I might as well.

I’ve been trying to take it easy but will little success. The summer days just have too much fun stuff to do. I have cut of my soft cast. It got wet while hosing down Chopper, the dog. The kids were helping and I think I got more wet then chopps and the truth is I’m way to vain. Actually, I just didn’t want to deal with questions (and I wanted to go swimming.) Having to admit that I jumped into such a shallow pool from a balcony makes me look like a lame brain. Plus, I wasn’t sure that the cast was doing much. Now that it is off. I am regretting it. (I think Jer is wondering why I even went to the Dr’s but of course he wont say that.) So I’ve been using my rock climbing tape to wrap my foot up whenever I feel like I need a little extra support.

So back to taking it easy… ya… I can’t seem to do it. I agreed to go with Jer and the kids on a hike to Stewart Falls last Saturday. Ummm… ya… Stupid. In my memory I seemed to think that the hike was flat, short and mellow. Umm… nope, at least not with a kid on my back. Of course I pushed on. I was never so happy to see that ice cold water fall. I sat down and stuck my foot in the water for a long time, way beyond my toes going numb. Needless to say, I am a lame brain and now I feel like I have to recover all over again. Okay, it’s not that bad but for some strange reason I’ve venting about it because usually I just try to act tough. (no pics- forgot the camera)

On to other more exciting subjects… I punched a hole in my wall. A square one to be exact. Yes, on purpose. I wanted to make a playroom window underneath the stairs. I’ve seen these is other house and I think they are so cute. So far so good. I think. I hope it turns out looking okay and not like some botched up home job. I just applied the first coat of joint compound. We’ll see how it goes. You see, my husband is not so handy so I’m just trying to figure it out on my own. I plan to make some curtains and hang up some little picture frames inside to make it feel like a little play house. Em’s excited.

I’d go find my camera and take a picture of the work in progress but ya know what. I’m not going to… I’m taking it easy.
