Day #181

Quite a day so far! As soon as Shelley arrived this morning to begin session I turn around to find Maeve in the litter box with all the sand toys. I am so glad I had just cleaned it out! Session gets underway and I have to go do some paperwork in our apartment managers office and come to find out that my rent should decrease by about $100 dollars, score! After about an hour and a half of session Shelley, Pam and I took the girls swimming. Maeve was a bit better in the pool today, fussy but when she found out I wasn't giving in she settled into being in the water. Only after that did I allow her to go to the hammock. A couple hours of pool time then we head back for our place. When Shelley and I are taking the girls out of the car, heading toward the door, both laden with bags, Maeve bolts! Did I think to drop what I was carrying...NO! I run after her and decide to overextend to grab the back of her dress to stop her, end up taking a bad step, my flip flop breaks, I tweak my ankle and mangle my foot. I had to sit there for a second, firm grip on Maeve, assessing the situation because I was not too certain I didn't break my foot. I traumatized my poor left foot but did not break anything, thank the heavens for that! I cleaned it up, got us some lunch as I hobbled around and have been able to sit a bit with it elevated and it is doing much better. What you cannot see in the picture is how torn up the tip of my pinky toes is as well. Note to self: DON'T RUN IN FLIP FLOPS! In my own defense though I was only thinking about stopping Maeve and preventing her from getting into the street and getting hurt herself. My mind was singly focused and all else was just peripheral.
