What a difference about 9 hours makes

My super awesome umbrella makes rainy mornings ok. Because I’ve always got blue skies when I use it! Fast forward 9 hours to after work and it’s like I’ve taken the umbrella and willed it into happening in real life. What a gorgeous day this turned out to be! I love it.

Your random Melissa thoughts for the day:

• 8 days post-plantar wart removal and I’m still in massive pain. This sucker was big and there is a large chunk of my foot missing. If I could just not wear shoes that would help. Every kind of shoe bothers my feet–flip flops are bugging my calf muscles now-the strain of holding the shoe on AND it just doesn’t sit right. Running shoes are too supportive and press against the wound constantly and any other shoe does the same. (I have tried all of my shoes. And I have A LOT, trust me.)
• Due to this, I can’t run and I’ve tried starting the BBG workouts and nope, just nope. Not yet. I have got to let my foot heal before I do lower body stuff. I am currently working on my upper body and eating well.
• I’ve met women named Joyful, Pepper, and Cinnamon. These names are interesting and in some cases, remind me of things would might name dogs or horses. Why do people do this to their children??
• My friend texted me today and asked if I would be her training buddy for the Good Life Halfsy (Lincoln’s other half marathon, held in November). I am not running it, but said I’d do some runs with her. She wants me to run it with her. I doubt that I will.
• I can’t stop listening to “Can’t Stop The Feeling”. This song is so good. We had an impromptu dance party in the kitchen last night to the song. It was great.
• My basement flooded AGAIN. My house is a disaster. I just can’t even right now.
• The father of the teenage boy who mows my lawn drew a line in the sand this week, if you will. We don’t want the lawn mowed each week-it gets expensive paying $30/week! But with all the rain, it has been growing and is getting long. The father told me that if we didn’t want it mowed each week we should find someone else to do it. It required too much effort otherwise. I feel like I’m stuck because I don’t have a mower, but it’s getting expensive! Sigh. My roomie says she and her bf (our other roomie) are going to buy a mower. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Hope you’re having a good hump day friends!
