What a World, What a World!

It's been an action-packed few days here in MBLF land. I've been hither and yon and hither again. The result is that I find myself having perhaps overdone things a teensy-tiny bit, and so am laid up tonight with a grossly swollen left foot that is strapped up and on ice.

To recap: Work has been more than the usual insane asylum, and I've been pushing it so hard that I've been feeling a tad beat up. Wednesday night I skipped PT and instead went to bed at 6:45 pm or so. It was lovely. The yesterday my mother JA arrived in town for the weekend. Of course, by the time I had made it home from work she had cooked, cleaned and basically "mommed" my whole house. We had a drink on the porch, had dinner and then went to the Christmas Tree Shoppe where I spent more than I care to acknowledge on mass produced junk. Colleen Brennan-Barry: supporting the economy since 1974.

After we shopped we decided dessert was in order so we headed to Read's Homemade Ice Cream. This place is beyond yum and is a little family business in Henrietta. They make all of their ice cream on-site, so it's fresh and natural. They also have fruit ice and ice cream cakes and custard, in addition to regular scoop. I had cherry vanilla; JA had vanilla custard and J had coffee with espresso malt balls and Heath crunch. Nice.

Today JA went to stay with my uncle, and J and I toddled off to work. I had lunch with one of my fave peeps and then went back to work where I hosted a wedding shower for two of my colleagues -- one of whom is the Web team's own Fran! He's getting married next week, and our colleague Mimi is getting married in mid-June, so it was great to have a gathering for the two of them.

And then I was supposed to have drinks and whatnot with some friends (hi, Steve!) but realized I had overdone it mightily these last few days and my leg was hugely swollen and in pain and perhaps the drinks and the whatnot? The drinks, and the whatnot, would have to wait.
