No real progress to report on the foot. I’m able to put a bit of weight on it. And as usual, I push it too far and hurt like hell by bed time. I’ve been working at home which means a longer day. I get to my computer some mornings almost an hour before I’d hit my desk at the office. Lunch time has been a much shorter break as many days Mom brings me lunch and I eat at the computer. And then it doesn’t end until well after I would have left the office to commute home. Not really complaining here as I’m fortunate to have this option, but just stating a fact.
Here is a shot of my festive footwear…
It is a good solid supportive boot. I remove it to go to sleep. The rubber sole gives me a good foundation to step on.
And another fact? The touchpad on my Acer laptop (no not the netbook – mom has that now – I bought a new full sized windows laptop last fall) is making me nuts. It does this weird thing that makes me curse at it. I think I’ll take a break from it and use the MacBook tomorrow 
Options are always nice!
Anyway, enough griping. Sitting around has brought more knitting and Sims time. I’ve hit the 10″ mark on Redhook.
It makes for some awesome Sims knitting. Or TV watching knitting. I’m going to go back to it as soon as this post is done. I’m enjoying the best part of American Idol. These auditions are entertaining!
Finally, I haven’t posted a shot of everyone’s favorite monkeys in a while…
The Sunday of Christmas weekend, dad had the brilliant idea to bring the kids into the city to see the tree at Rock Center. I think everyone else in the tri-state area had the same idea. The city was PACKED. There was no getting near the tree. Heck we had trouble getting to the Lincoln Tunnel to get into the city. We wound up driving to Hoboken, taking the PATH train to 33rd street and walking up town. The above shot was taken right in front of the NY Public Library. The monkeys kept asking if they could climb on the lions. Sigh.
Time to go back to knitting.
Craft on!

sorry about the foot. No fun to be incapacitated.
Love seeing the kids.

Sorry to hear about the foot. Damn feet take so long to heal too. But the up side is that you’re getting more knitting time. The monkeys are still looking adorable.

I’m really glad to see that it wasn’t broken, though I know a bad muscle injury can be even more painful sometimes and certainly take longer to heal. I hope it continues to get better quickly.
And of course, your kids are cute as ever.

As much as I love the city at Christmas time I haven’t gone in a while because I just can’t deal with the crowds anymore.
Glad your foot is on the mend.
The monkeys are precious!

I’m glad you’re improving. DH insisted on going to Garden State Plaza on December 26. I told him go by himself. He came back a few hours later, never having gotten in the parking lot!

Monkey pictures!
I’m so glad that your foot is improving, even if a lot more slowly than you’d hoped. It’s the improvement thing that matters!
(Yes, I know, easy for me to say.)
