Clutzy me

Well, I missed the bottom step on our stairs (thinking it was the floor-it was dark and the new carpet color blends in...) Anyway, my ankle gave way and there was a popping sound (I thought I broke it). I screamed in pain- Tom came running- it hurt so much I got all tingly and naseaus. My luck, with summer around the corner and I'm now hobbling around. I haven't been to a doctor- if it's a sprain no real point- I'll give it a few more days and if there isn't more improvement I may go get an x-ray just to be sure- but Tom's fairly certain it's just a bad sprain. we got a brace for it and I used crutches for a couple of days until I got completely annoyed with them. None the less- yesterday was a great day for yard work, and we have a TON! Luckily I can hobble to the Tractor and then sit and let it do the work! So I was able to get corrals cleaned, arena leveled, and some rocks hauled out of the field! We turned out Kaydee and Gretchen across the road to the land- there isn't much grass yet, but for those two, enough. Shakira is bagging up and should foal on or before her due date! Sage is so smart- she learned to fetch a ball in about 5 minutes! Everytime I praised her for picking up the ball she would get so excited she would drop the ball- so I stopped praising her until she was all the way back to me with it. Now she's got it down what the job is I can throw the ball farther- well as far as my girl throw will let me... My Sis spent the night Friday while her daughter was at Snow college for an overnighter/intro thing. She is going there next fall- so we'll get to see her a lot! This week was busy as I also taught an afterschool acting class on Tues, Wed, Thurs- it was so fun! The kids we're a blast and really enjoyed the improv part! I think we'll have some great actors for the play coming up!
