tvordljDad is now driving! He still has shortness of breath but that's coming along little by little. Having him mobile again is really good. Mom says she'll keep driving some too, and Dad doesn't want her to stop either. I bet it will feel pretty good for her to be able to just pick up the keys and pop down to the store or to my sister's (or mine!) if she wants to and Dad is busy)
My back seems to be dodgey today too. Went in for an extra adjustment so hopefully some ice packing and rest tonight will have me more comfortable tomorrow. I asked him why is it that i can potter around in sock/bare feet all weekend or just throw on sandals to pop over to the corner shop and my back will be fine, but one day at work without the orthotics in my shoes makes me break. it's not that i do a lot of walking at work either. It's the only thing i can think of that did this. Last time, a month ago or so, i had been wearing sandals for about a week with the orthotics in and it started up the same way. So i guess i can only wear the sandals a day at a time here and there *with* orthotics in, but not for more than one or two days in a row or i'll end up with Sandal Syndrome.
I need new sneakers pretty soon too. Most people can wear theirs until they fall apart, but if you need the support, or if you walk or run regularly you have to replace them sooner. I get an extra pay in September (three pays in the month instead of the usual two, getting paid biweekly gives you that twice a year) and i guess some of the extra will go on new sneakers and also on the passport renewal. I want to use some of it towards the plane ticket and Christmas.
