A Little ♥ and Soul

Life is good right now. Things have been coming together pretty well with the transition in going home from being at my brother's for the past 2 months. I am really, REALLY ready to go home. Not that I don't appreciate my brother and his family and having people to lean on while I've recuperated from fracturing my ankle, I'm just ready to go home and live my life again. Finances will be tight for a while, but I really don't mind eating beans and rice for dinner. Plus, I have a Cafe Rio free meal punch card that I've been hanging on to for the past couple months. I could always use that when I'm feeling bored with being poor. Free food always tastes better anyway. I had a nice chat with my Bishop yesterday after church. I sneaked in between tithing settlement interviews to have my own - since finding a ride from American Fork to Provo is a big pain - and it was a really good chat. There were things that I needed to talk to him about. Let's just say that

So, I got the okay to start walking on my foot again. This is amazing news! Although, I think I'm a lot slower now that I'm walking than when I was solely using my crutches. My shoulders are relieved by the news to say the least. Thursday after my appointment at the Diabetes Management Clinic, my sister in law, nephew and I went to the library. The walk from the car to the clinic and back should have done me in. But I was feeling good. I've lost 30 pounds in the last six weeks. I figured I might as well get some exercise in and burn a few more calories. Yikes...let me tell you, when you're not mobile and are using only crutches to get around, you have no idea what kind of muscles are involved in using such contraptions. Anyhow, I'm pretty excited to start walking again and a little nervous for what that means. Lots more discomfort from working muscles in my messed up ankle and the fact that I have no idea how well I'm going to be able to get around in the next
