Hold me accountable: Tomorrow I want to paint my nails- I am too tired today. My new color got here in the mail today- I will show you finished project when I do them; tomorrow.

Chef Melissa has been on a tear. Sorry to the non-meat eaters but I needed to hulk up a little. Yesterday I grilled some hamburgers, and put on a pork butt for pulled pork today I pulled it apart instead of ginger ale I crackpot cooked it in Dr Pepper with the BBQ and onions. Will letcha know at some point how that worked out, and of course I helped myself to the left over soda ayum.

Wednesday was my eval at Physical Therapy and he was happy to see me back, I was annoyed at how far I am set back but then again, I am one of the most dedicated people I know to getting better so- this is another step. He also gave me an at home work out routine to do. When he had me walk and sit down in the long hallway he was very pleased that my pelvic thrust area has opened up with the surgery and I sit down slower and more openly than before it so HOORAY for gaining thingz.

Thursday I did the workout or attempted the exercises to my comfort level. Again it made me a bit sad when I went to do bridges when I could do 30 of them on the exercise ball and this time I struggled to do ten on my bed, without the ball. DETERMINATION here I come! And when I did the glute tightening I was like well this is awkward one butt cheek would clench and the other wouldn't feeling so weird I told him these things today as I had my first actually PT apt as Weds was the Evaluation.

So yeah, new soreness up in here from getting back into PT, better sore muscles from working them than the surgery pains.

The angel I got for Mom arrived yesterday so I made a big deal of going to the Post Office to pick it up and I brought scissors so she could open it right away and she loved it and gave me a huge hug. Success, I mean it's really cute ♥ as you could see in the photo in my last post; but I have always gotten cat angels following the loss of our babies except for the two kittens because I was away at college when they passed and was hit (like by a truck HA HA little did I know) with emotion when I got home and was told.

I've gotten some sweatpants off Poshmark, as I convinced myself it was cheaper to get 6 used pairs in my size in different colors, than one pair of new ones from Dick's for the same price. Because most of the pants I own, are tight and pull on my surgery when I pull them up but I do have two pairs of Nikes that don't pull so that is what I went for. Loose waist bands. WIN.

Yesterday I did a big thing!

I had coffee with my High School English teacher from my Senior Year- the one that turned my opinion on English around, I hated it until I was in his class. He is also to credit for my grammar meltdowns when people use it incorrectly. Anyways I have been trying to make this happen for a good year and a half now?

My escalation of my hip surgery was my catalyst to be sure to get this coffee thing done too- he was just expecting us to sit and talk about my accident and recovery, which in the beginning we did- and then, I grabbed the Vera Bradly tote I had brought with me along with my purse, and pulled out the manuscript- all 106 pages double spaced of my recovery from the accident that should have killed me and asked him if 1) he would like to read it, 2) edit it and 3) tell me what he thinks about it. He gave me a big oh my wow face looking at it then was like totally of course.

Mission accomplished. Yes I never let him know I was even writing a book, and here I was handing him the whole thing. Now I've gotta get my other two copies out too. One thing at a time- getting that overwhelmed feeling again, plus these two I want to add letters too not just throw the book in an envelope. So if I set a goal of getting them out by Monday maybe that'll work?

Today I spent over an hour in the pool at PT, but my therapist and I did a terrifically horrible duet of The Flame by Cheap Trick which Lindz and I always sang in college, not particularly sober. When I went to leave I texted her and was like I just did a duet of our song, then was like and reminisced of our gateway desktops and limewire- fun times.

This substitute movie is stupid I hate it lol, I bought Serenity with Anne Hathaway and Mattew Mcionahey (never spell it) but I wanted to pay attention and yeah tired.
