Well my big news of the week is - fractured/bruised ribs! On Wednesday morning, I did an endo on my mountain bike and landed hard on my bike. The embarrassing part is that I was trying to bunny hop a curb and totally missed it - front wheel straight into the curb and me flying over the handle bars. I was riding into work and managed to get back on my bike and keep going. Then I had a flat half way in to add insult to injury. I did make it work and was pretty sore. I thought I could shake it off and went for another ride on Thursday morning (if the horse throws you - get right back on right?). That didn't help at all. By Friday afternoon I couldn't stand it at all - i would literally go to my knees in pain at times and couldn't breath. So, it was time for a Dr's visit. No spleen, kidney, liver damage - just ribs, which hurt worse of all. After lots of ibuprofen, flexuril, and vicoden I can just about manage the pain.
I have a half-iron man triathlon next week :-( We'll have to see how that goes. I certainly couldn't do it today. But maybe by next week I'll be healed enough that I can just do it at a leisurely pace.
Chloe has her new glasses now. And Megan has a years supply of disposable soft contact lenses.
They both have filled their week with a mix of baby sitting, movies (Cars 2), shopping (school supplies), and just hanging out and sleeping in.
Theresa had a normal schedule of Tues-Thurs work at Calvary, Tues. girls night out and visiting with Grandma on Friday. She's almost done with her book "The Help" - says it's getting really good now.
Work was a little crazy this week. But it's good to have a job. I've had two guys put in their resignation letters in the past week. So, I'll be recruiting for 2 new positions to backfill them.
I've been following the debt debate a little. I'm mad at them all - democrats and republicans. It's just so much grandstanding and posturing - get on with it. You know they will come up with an 11th hour deal. It's all a mess.
Well that's all I know for now - and about all I can stand sitting and typing.
luv u,
Jeff
