I realize these two situations will be stinking ripe before they\u2019re finished. On the former, at least I have some company at the house, and the guys are really nice. They\u2019re always asking about my foot and teaching me new Spanish words (clean ones; I already know the dirty ones). I learned how to say, \u201cI want four more wheelbarrows of dirt over there.\u201d I look forward to the day when I can look out my office and bedroom windows and not see a Bobcat. On the latter, I graduated from the boot to an old ankle splint\u2013wrap combo, which I\u2019ve kept in a drawer since the last time I needed it 14 years ago. It was self-matriculation, however, since the foot doctor would probably not be pleased. When I saw her on Thursday, she said I\u2019d need to be in the boot for 6 to 8 weeks. Yo no quiero, Jos\u00e9!<\/p>\n<p>I went for an afternoon roll around the big block, my left leg getting used to the propulsion thing, but it sure did tire me out. When I got home, I begged Hubby to go for a drive with me. I wasn\u2019t up for walking any more but also wasn\u2019t ready to sit at home. We drove through some suburban neighborhoods in the next town over where I\u2019d never been before. I can\u2019t decide whether being excited about that is pathetic or a sign that I can go with the flow and be content no matter what. At least we have plenty of roses to stop and smell now\u2014right outside our front door.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3119\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-17b.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two things are getting old: the construction and my ankle injury.
