My first flower of the year; a tiny little crocus.

I had my ultrasound shockwave therapy yesterday.  It was painful but not too painful to have it.  My foot feels better already so I'm a fan.  I also made an appointment for next Friday as well.  I'm back to work on Monday, two hours of nursing work and the rest of my shift confirming patient appointments, at a desk.  The big guy has told me that I make sure I don't walk more than 3000 steps which is what the podiatrist ordered, or there will be hell to pay.    

The time off has been nice; although the sore foot made me cranky, it was nice to have time to breathe.  Taxes got done, paperwork got sorted and put away and we made a lot of trips to Wetaskiwin to visit my in-laws which was nice.  My father in law is doing better.  He's a tough old bird. 

Jack had swimming lessons this morning and then we went out for lunch and a drive in the country because that's the best way to get him to fall asleep.  We came across these deer browsing in a field.  After his nap, we'll take him to the dog park for a walk and then he has to go back to his mom's.  Sigh.  At least this time he didn't have a diaper rash although there were issues with Gracie not answering her door and I had to get hold of her mom to get Gracie to open the door for us.  

We're watching "Flack" right now on Prime and the main character is called Robin;  Robin's mom is an addict and a narcissit and reminded me so much of Gracie when we watched the episode last night.  It's a tough way to grow up and usually results in damage.  The character Robin is a trainwreck and it's painful to watch at times.  It hits a bit too close to home.

I'm looking forward to spending time with my daughter, her partner, Jack and my hubby in the mountains in five weeks time.  It's been too long since I've seen the mountains.
