thumb spica

either i pick him up too much, or my tendon just was not strong enough, or both...but i've managed to get de Quervain's syndrom (tendonitis in my thumb) and i let it go long enough that now i have this lovely blue and grey brace to wear. i got some drugs (antiinflamitories) today too and if they don't work then i get to have a shot! good thing i look good in blue! ;)

ps. also losing my hair. got referred to a dermatologist today too. i'm all a mess. geesh

tummy, oh tummy

cole wanted to say hello this morning :) love love the mornings..so happy

also, wanted to note, that i obvioulsy did not tear out the old fence, nor put in the new one. our neighbors hired someone to do it. we'll see how it holds up. the fence is great..the placement is not so great..i'm afraid we are going to get most of their mulch in our yard when it rains..we'll see! silly silly.

done-zo

welp, i had to work really hard during all the nap times the last 3 days...but finally, it's done;)

not too shabby, if i do say so myself...

peace out

lynette is leaving us:( headed to springfield to help out her fam!

we met at benihana for a good bye dinner..YUM!

luckily, she is moving to springfield, which is on my way to iowa! so i'll get to see her as i pass through! hip hip hip hoooray!
