An unreal week

I have had the most amazing week. I can attribute that to many things. I started the week badly with spraining my ankle - and from there it went sharply uphill. As I hobbled with assistance out of the gym, I had no shortage of sympathy and assistance. Alicia, whom I have known for many years, and Di a new friend, both offered to drive me home. (Which in hindsight I should have accepted, because I felt quite ill when I got home.......probably from the pain). I had ice, help and advice on how to look after myself. On Thursday I saw Lu and had my nails done. Alicia came in and saw that my foot was swelling while I was sitting there, she took off my shoe and made me put my foot up. Di, brought out some cream and rubbed some into my foot..........I felt like a queen. Anyone walking past would have wondered who on earth I was that I was receiving so much attention.

During the week, as you know I put a deposit on an amazing range of kitchen items. My parents took me down to the store, so I could do that as driving was still a bit painful. I am so lucky that I have my parents around, and that they are close by too. We always get on so well, and when I work so much, I don't see them near enough, so with my sore ankle, it meant we spent some time together which was great. I realized that another reason why the week was so great, because I have all three children at school, and I didn't work the whole week, so I felt organized and not like I was running around chasing my tail. I had more patience for my kidlets and felt very content with my lot in life.........

Yesterday I decided to attempt a pump class, as you don't really need your feet other than for standing on. I did lunges, but without the weights, and then stopped a bit before ...............I hate lunges!!! Afterwards Alicia and I went to coffee. Three hours later we decided to check the time!! We hadn't moved, hadn't had lunch, just had a ball. We ordered a lunch which we shared and then I came home after 3pm. Time to organize my clothes off the line, have a shower and then go to scrapbooking. I had to shopsit last night for about 4 hours. I had a great night, Al was there and Kerrie was there too..... I had lots to chat about.

I have a lot more to add later. I am considering a few things....
