Shop But Don't Kick

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

. . . my back protesting when I lightly kicked something.  Note to self: don't do that again for a few days.

Today's favorite moments included . . .

. . . getting another step closer to normality.  I rarely feel sharp pain and actually made a short trip to the store today (without kids).  Still spending a plenty of time heating or icing my back when it gets achy, though.

. . . doing a stretch my friend's physical therapist taught her.  It's surprising how much it helps.

. . . hearing the happiness in Joy's voice when she and Daddy got home from a date (she chose to browse Target and buy some Cars fruit snacks).

. . . Anna hugs.
