#208/366--The Foot, a Progression

I don't know

if

it's sprained

or

broken

probably sprained

I'm not

intending on

going to the doctor

because

I think I'm fine

Saturday:

Sunday:

Monday:

Tuesday (Today):

All I can tell is

...I need to shave...

#206/366--Nephew Snuggles

#205/366--Hiking

We went to

Petit Jean Mountain

which is also

the place where

we spread

my dad's ashes

so

we visited his

...site...

first

then

we did some

hiking

and

climbing

The final trail we went on

(together)

was the

Cedar Falls Trail

It was a 2 mile hike

down to the falls

The kids hiked around

and played under the falls

while

I climbed up

on some rocks

and just sat

and

enjoyed the view

and

the peace

Soon, they were ready to

hike back up

and explore

some more...

but

my

clumsiness

and

sandy-wet rocks

don't make

a good combo

I slipped

while

climbing down from where I was

and

twisted

or

rolled

...sprained...

or

...broke...

my ankle

at

the

bottom

of

the

mountain

with

a

two

mile

hike

...back...

We didn't really know

how bad it was

just that

it started

swelling

immediately...

so

Lauren wrapped it

with

Michael's shirt

and some ice

and

Michael helped me

hike back up.

Once we got back,

we unwrapped my ankle

and

Needless to say

I was done

with our adventure

but the kiddos

left me with

my

nurse

(Mom)

and

found

another mountain

to hike

and

creek to swim in

#204/366--Quick Road Trip

My kids wanted a vacay

but

my bank account

says

we can't manage that

so

we took a

...quick road trip...

to see the fam

in Arkansas

I let the kids take

some friends

because

well

sometimes

teenagers are easier to manage

when they come

in

self-selected

pairs

as you can see

I'm in the backseat

and

to say it was

a

...long ride...

is an understatement

that was cute

when he was

10 years younger

and

about

2 feet shorter

#203/366--Catching my Friend...

...catching Pokemon...

#202/366--My SandyGirl

A good friend of mind

just lost her

sweet

dog

and it made me

want to

cuddle

my

SandyGirl

#201/366--Early Summer Mornings

#200/366--Pokemon

...catching Pokemon...

#199/366--Sandy Girl

That's my

SandyGirl

#198/366--Dirt Track What?

A friend of mine

texted me

and asked

if I had ever been

to see

"Dirt Track Races"

that answer

would be

...uh...

no

So....

I went with him

just for the

...experience...

and it was

...loud...

but

It was fun.

#197/366--Journaling

#196/366--Getting Lost

I've been running

and

sticking to the same path

but

I thought

the trails I run

made loops

and

that if I went in a different direction

I would loop back around to my car

but

I was wrong

and

I ended up

...lost...

I ran out of water

It was getting hotter

and

my head was hurting

and

finally

after around 45 minutes longer

than normal 

I was back

at my car

I need a map...

#195/366--I Just Cleaned Yesterday

Needing a little extra cash,
