On Saturday, to thank my friend Anne-Marie for being my support person, I treated us to lunch and a movie. We went to the AMC Fork & Screen theater where you can order food and watch a movie. We saw "The Ides of March", which is an excellent political thriller, and dined on potato skins and cheese sticks. She also had a salad and a cheeseburger and we took most of it home to her boyfriend as neither of us could eat all we had ordered.
Sunday, after watching my victorious Falcons, I had to run to the pet store for some puppy pads and then decided to head over to Discover Mills to shop. So I parked, walked into the mall, went to the Levi's store, then Eddie Bauer where I got Andrew some jeans (which he disliked) and a shirt (which he did like). Then I walked back around the mall to the Bath and Body Works store where I stocked up on Moonlight Path. I'll definitely be smelling good when I return to work tomorrow.
Here is the best thing...I walked 45 minutes total in the mall, without sitting down once! And when I got home and relaxed, I was still able to get right up without my back hurting. My knee hurts of course, but I my back is holding up well. I'm so excited that walking is not so painful. Rosco's pretty happy about it too, although he was probably more happy that I couldn't finish the bowl of soup I had for dinner and he was the beneficiary of the remainder.
So excited to get back to work tomorrow!
very happy for you my friend. take good care & keep writing.
