Live your life and forget your age. --Norman Vincent Peale

It's been a while, and I won't give you any excuses!I just find it uncomfortable to sit without my foot up!
You're gonna have to read previous posts if you want to know about THAT!
If I flop on the couch, I go to sleep..........
I DID drag a foot stool in here, so I could get crafty!
And it's all right if you like sitting sideways! hahahaha
I DID get the graduation card made! FINALLY!

I made the tiny little book of  Dr. Suess quotes.





They went in this little pocket.....here,


The graduation caps paper are an insert.
Here's the inside.


And the outside!



I get my stitches out on Tuesday (a day early)!
Then I'm on my way.....to the Family Rebellion, visiting with my mom & son, back to High Prairie on August 25th for the graduation, and back to work on the 27!
I'll see Tuesday if I get another cast!
I kinda like the cast....I'm clumsy!
I've banged my toes several times on the metal bed frame...don't even ask!
I also have a humungous boot, so there's no pressure on the toes!
I'm not going to say I "LIKE" it, but at least I can walk....sort of!
I like the crutches for going 'fast'!

I'm supposed to be laid up...HA!....for 6 weeks, but when calling to book my 6 week appointment, found out the specialist is gone the whole month of September!
So I'll see him August 30 (4 weeks), get an X-ray, and he can tell me how it's going!
And what I do next!

I was at the dentist on Friday....I'm a sucker for punishment; he said it'd make a better story if I told people I was hurt when I crashed my motorcycle!

Vanessa came home for the weekend to make my life easier....she has!
Her and a friend cleaned my vehicle yesterday (it's a dust collector), I just need to get my stuff out there, and I'm ready!


Best Detailers....eh-vah!

We've watched movies (The Lorax...LOVED, Step Brothers.....NOT SO MUCH), cooked, she went shopping for me!

When I took the bottles out this morning, one of the bigger kittens had this!


Twice the size of a mouse, and when I got closer, he growled at me!


See the black tip on the tail....it's a weasel!
I've seen bigger!

It's so dry, here's a picture of a field that's been hayed.
Full of spider webs.


It's like that all over....it's kinda freaky!

Also in my travels I found a field of these!


I want to say they're houses for Leafcutter Bees, but I'm not sure!

Well, pretty sure that's picture overload for you today!
Have a great next couple weeks, and I'll talk to you when I get home!
Hopefully I won't be antsy anymore, and will do some challenges!

Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

You have two hands. One to help yourself; the second to help others.-- Unknown

Happy Weekend peeps!
Let me tell you, I'm feeling almost 100% today!
Well, you know, exept for the 10 pound boot, and the crutches!

Surgery went well....I guess; no one said otherwise!
6 weeks people....and it's summer! Oh well, no running anywhere for me! hahaha!

I had a bunionectomy and a lot of stuff done to the Hammer toe!
I'd show you pictures, but that would just gross you out!

I was going to come home Wednesday after the surgery, but they gave me some really good drugs, so I had another sleepover with Vanessa!
The drugs were so good that as we sat there debating which movie to watch, I said, "Do I hear an ice cream truck, or is that my medication!?"
It REALLY was the ice cream truck driving through her apartment parking lot!

I'm trying to get down to 1 painkiller at night, cause they make me real tired!

I went to work Thursday to do payroll, then came home to flop on the couch!
Yesterday I was at work at 6:30 am, made a graceful entrance, and told them that I was UP, and that my drugs make me tired!
I almost made the day!
Came home at 1:30!
They're really good to me over there!
I managed to get most of the billing done!
I'll go to work Monday even though it's a holiday, cause I leave on the 14th, and my stitches are supposed to come out on the 15th! OI!

Then last night my SIL calls, she's having a picnic with a friend I haven't seen for over 20 years!
I packed myself up, and off I went!
I stayed about an hour, but am sure glad I went!
My SIL kept trying to give me a 'little shot'!
Hel-lo, I'd have had to crawl home!

I woke up this morning with no pain....so am hopeful for the day!

I have a few cards to get done, so might just stay in my craft room!

I DID get Kalen's 'Congratulations on your Promotion' card done and mailed!


Hope you're all well!
I've been visiting, just maybe not leaving a comment....but I'll get back to that!

Have a great weekend!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
