Once again thanks to everyone for their well wishes and happy vibes for my ankle. I’m doing amazingly well with the new brace. I’m able to get around with a minimal amount of pain. With the addition of a cast protector, I was able to get into the pool last night too! The best of all, I was able to get to my child, who had fallen and was injured to pick her up and comfort her. The past week of being unable to pick up a monkey while balancing on crutches was just too frustrating for this klutz.
I spent the morning fighting with my laptop to get it to connect to the network. My old card just would see the LAN and while mom had a new one, my laptop is a base model from the office with no floppy or cd drive. Nice huh? How to get a driver on there. Nice trick. Well after 2 hours of fighting, I managed to get a connection with the old card long enough to download a driver. I’m on using the new card now. I was unsuccessful over the last 2 hours in trying to establish a connection with the office. Computers sometimes suck. I give. At least today was supposed to be over at 1 and I’ll probably be going to the office on Monday. Should be a fun commute.
As Deb so nicely pointed out, today is indeed my birthday. While some people have trouble with the 0 birthdays, I have a harder time with the 9’s. This is one of those. My last birthday in the 30’s 
I’m going to take the day off and spend it with my folks, the twins, and this:
my double dog dare shawl, aka Birchington, on her ebony needles. I took her outside for a quick photo in the dappled sunlight on the folks patio. After an afternoon of sun and fun, we’ll be going out for dinner to one of my favorite restaurants. It has great food, a wonderful casual atmosphere and best yet, it is family friendly. If you’re ever in Fair Lawn, NJ, you need to visit the Trackside Grille. We’ve had the twins there at all stages from tiny infant to present.
Have a great weekend.
Craft on.
