The past week was pretty awful. Sunday I woke up to find out that my Aunt was in the hospital and it was a question of when not if. So I knew I’d be traveling to STL this week. I wasn’t very close to her and she pretty much disappeared from my life after her divorce from my uncle. However one thing about her stands out to me and always will. When my mom was in the hospital after her heart attacks she came to visit and she was so extraordinarily kind. Also since was a cardiac care nurse she explained a lot to me about what was going on. My dad did that too but he was away and I wasn’t always as good about remembering what I was told so he could translate it into human for me. Maybe it sounds like a small thing but it always stood out and I was so grateful to her for it. The funeral mass was beautiful. It was incredibly sad though. So anyway I drove up Friday and left Saturday night. It was a quick trip but I didn’t want to have to bring the cats with me. Can I just say how much more pleasant the drive was without them? Going back further in time… Tuesday we had a FRG potluck. I brought my pasta salad. People said they really liked and wanted the recipe. I hate when people ask me that since I almost never follow recipes but I’ll do my best. Its more an idea than a recipe. You can pretty much add anything from a list and it will taste good. But anyway while this was going I was walking back from the bathroom and I was wearing these new sandal things since I needed a new summer throw on shoe. Anyway I stepped wrongly and down I freaking went. My foot has been funky ever since. So quite a bit of things I had slated to do last week did not in fact occur. Which is why I don’t have pictures of the new bedroom stuff up yet. Anyway…it’s feeling mostly better now so I think one more day of rest should do it and as long as I am careful…In slightly better news being laid up let me finally finish my first sleeve:) Sleeve #2 is going well. I have HIGH expectations of finishing it this week. Of course I said that last week and the week before too. One thing I noticed was I got a lot more done when I didn’t have to jump through commercials so maybe the key is just to only watch things on dvd?
