In loo of flowers...

Great news (I think)... I can resume near to normal activities. I still have to put my foot up and ice it (why or why does it have to be winter?!) every so often. And I have an exciting list of exercises to do. Why don't you try them too so I can pretend it's a group activity? 1. Standing up, roll your foot over something like a rolling pin (this gets the circulation going). And... you have to do both feet (one at a time I suppose). Apparently feet talk to each other and this keeps them in balance. 2. Sit down. Throw a towel on the floor and practice pulling it toward you by squinching (that's probably not a word but you know what I mean) it with your toes. If that's too easy, hold it down with a weight so your toes really have to work on the squinching part. 3. Still sitting, write the alphabet with your toes moving only your ankle. And... make it all capital letters. No small ones please. 4. Smile! This IS fun isn't it?!

So what on earth is the photo? That's John's little "thank heavens your better" gift to me. It's the seats from the new "beast". He DID scrub them, but they still look awful. My project is to cover them up with fabric from my stash so they'll look half way decent. The pressure is on... they have to be done by Sunday! (He has to be able to drive it to the shop for an alignment.) So much for hanging out on the sofa!
